Perspective

Still sitting...
Getting closer to "being still", I think.
I'm having fun not taking a sparkle of an idea from God and immediately making it gospel truth that is my job to carry out. Instead I'm having conversations with God about those sparkles. We're throwing them back and forth and I'm enjoying this time with God. I'm seeing Him here in the still - getting to know Him. I'm pleasantly surprised that "still" is not at all stagnant.

I realized -- well, there's no credit for me really -- God showed me today that bringing this church plant to fruition is not the reason I'm on this journey. It's to get to know God better. To become more the person I'm supposed to be. It's a chance to be with Him, not to do for Him.

I'm tearing down more and more of the rickety construction I worked with such futility to maintain and allowing God to build me back up. It's okay to trust God to be God. That's a tough one. You never can tell what He'll go and do. One of my best friends lives in Uganda for crying out loud! : )

I also heard about a Phantom Pooper this week. That's right. A disgruntled employee was leaving poops at the job as retribution for...does it matter? He was pooping. Now I know my family will always be normal. And so are you. Unless you're a pooper. Then you're a super kind of special, should get a little help, and know that I love ya anyway! Thanks for reading this!
