Just one more... All cut and curled for Kindergarten! Thanks, Ms. Rachel! And Kidzbop and cookies, too?! I mean....come on! I was talking to a friend a few days ago when he said, "I think I know where God is leading. I see myself there, but it seems so far off-so impossible from my vantage point now, that I don't even know the first step to get there. In fact, it seems many of my steps are backwards." Have you felt that? Me too. It reminded me of two things. Seed and Abraham. I heard a speaker once share to become a plant, a seed needs to be buried underground in the dark isolation of the soil to break open then burst forth. A great reminder that we are all given these seeds and all are in different stages of God fulfilling His promises to us and purpose in us. So don't despise the dark, yet necessary, beginning and the dark, often backwards, middle. It's the stuff that builds patience, endurance, and deep roots. And Abraham. Love that dude. Here he is, minding his own business, when God tells him he will be the father of many nations, at 75 with a wife that can't have kids. Ha! Then He tells him to go to a place He will show him later. Talk about dark! Abraham waited 25 years for God to make good on His promise. He even tried to take matters into his own hands-which didn't go so well. Then once he had a son, God told him to go kill him. He never would have been able to make that journey, confidently trusting God would keep his promise and provide a substitute to be sacrificed in his son's place. (Side note: sounds eerily like the Gospel?) You really should read it for yourself-God totally comes through on His promise to Abraham, in His timing and through His son, becomes exactly what God told him he would be back when it was just a seed. All that to say, yup. God's ways are not our ways. His timing isn't our timing. But maybe we didn't get the call wrong after all, just the timing. That's no reason to give up. All the more reason to believe God is up to something in the soil of your life. Keep watering the seed. Friendship changes everything. What a great learning experience! Compassion brought the world, and the issue of global poverty, right to our backyard. If you have a chance, check them out when they come to your area!
