Often I try to control my every step, anticipate whats next, and hardly give change and flexibility a chance. This consumes my attention and even distracts me from investing in people and in the moment. Nicaragua in January and a recent road trip to Nor Cal,Oregon,Seattle showed me how to live the adventure God has bestowed for each of us to enjoy and to take time to pause and reflect. Look into the eyes of others, expand your view around you, and live freely not being tied down to what you assume is the best plan. "The scene is set"; you may not know who you will meet on your path or understand the path's twists and turns but God has already set the scene before, during, and after. He knows every detail and orchestrates according to how He wants it to go.
Every Tuesday, several of us gather from different places to have a meal, pray, share our hearts with one another, and lift our voices to God while listening to the cry of one anothers souls. It is so refreshing! God set this scene and we merely show up. Philippians 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
