Two Days

Only 2 days.  Bags are packed (mostly).  Plans are made best they can be.  And now we wait.

As the time gets closer I am reminded about how God is served.  It's a lot like being on a roller coaster.  In getting on a roller coaster, my part in the making the ride happen ride ended as soon as I sat down.  The car is climbing the hill and I cannot stop it.  I cannot steer it.  I am not in control.  That's what serving God should be like.  A complete yielding of self to Him.  And it is tough.

Jesus modeled this in John 5:30.  Doing the will of the Father, not His own.  And that's the catch.  We still have a choice.  The truth is we are not on a roller coaster.  Life is more like a car.  We have the choice to drive.  The choice of where to sit.  The choice to change our mind at any point in the ride.  It would be a lot easier if it was a roller coaster because then a one-time choice would set the path.

I am seeing this as I have a sense of calm.  Calm about travel.  Calm about the messages to be presented.  Calm about my family.   Calm as I seek Him.

Friends, let go of the wheel and get in the backseat.  Let God drive!
