Recently I helped teach our 16 year old daughter to drive..including how to park. At our house, there are three cars that park side-by-side in a relatively small space. Teaching her how to wedge a car between two other vehicles took patience and lots of backing up, straightening up, and trying again.
Last week, I applied that same concept to my attitude. In my last post, I whined on and on about "my" plans for "my" time and "my" finances. Then, on Thursday night, Todd Ahrend spoke to our Perspectives on the World Christian Movement group about God's mandate for His children. My goal isn't to accomplish my plans for His kingdom. No, my purpose is to be open to HIS plans...whatever those may be.
So, I backed up, straightened up, and I'm trying again. Today, I want to say to God, "Anything, Any time, Anywhere."
In my very finite mind, I think that selling that house will give me the freedom to say that to God. The truth is, I can say it right now, this very moment, regardless of my financial situation.
