living strategically

I've been on this planning and strategizing kick for the last couple of weeks.  Part of the motivation for said "kick" is a sudden realization that without plans, dreams and goals generally remain unreached.  And, I do not want to be guilty of treating the dreams and goals God has given me trivially.  So, I'm embracing a new way to be.  For the purposes of the blog, I'm going to call it "strategic living."  The essential idea is to examine all of the things for which I am responsible, set measurable and practical goals in each, and develop a plan to reach them.  What's revolutionary is what this lifestyle is doing for my time allocation; any time spent not in pursuit of a goal, whatever it may be, is time wasted.  So, as long as I have an understanding of my goals, and a basic outline of the steps it will take to reach them, it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to waste time.  It is just too painful to spend any one moment not in pursuit of a goal.

Since beginning to live strategically, however, I've been encountering this massive gray area: where is the line between faith and fervor?  

Strategy is good and necessary.  One can imagine the amount of planning it took for Moses to lead the Israelites, for Solomon to govern his kingdom, or for Paul to establish the early church.  And God has given us the mental capacity to be pragmatic.  There really should be no question that God has designed us to live our lives with order and purpose.  Yet I think I've had this thought that living by faith requires the adoption of a sort of hippie lifestyle--one that involves a haphazard approach to decision-making, and a distaste for organization.  I've reduced faith to a total rejection of order, cloaking it in rhetoric that claims to "put God in a box" whenever discussions of organization arise.  But all you have to do is look at a pinecone, or take a math class to know that God likes pattern and order.  He may not always operate within their confines, but his creation screams beauty in chaos, order in disarray.  Still, we know faith requires some element of the unknown (i.e. God's promise to Abram), and action when no discernible plan or strategy is in place.  

So my question again is this: when does my fervency to plan and achieve goals begin to exhibit a lack of faith?
