Did You Know...

that change is in the air?
that my world is spinning ever faster?
that something incredible is happening?
that this is the end of one journey?
and the beginning of another?
that I hardly know what to type I am so excited?
that maybe, just maybe, I'm really on the right course?
that God is going to do great things?
that I'm delighted?
that I'm frightened?
that there's a sharp bend in the road ahead?
and I can't see past it?
but God can?

Did you know?

Divine Opportunities

So often, when faced with daily choices, we look at them from a logical, human point-of-view. "Which choice makes the most sense? What are the pro's and con's?" And in our furrowed brows and whirling thoughts, we tend to overlook God. We forget that He works in marvelous ways, and that what He requests of His disciples may not always seem like the most logical thing in our minds:

He told the already outnumbered Israelites (led by Gideon) to get rid of even more men.

He told Abraham to murder his own son.

He told Noah to build an ark when rain had never before fallen on Earth.

He told Peter to walk on water.

He told the fishermen to leave their jobs and follow Him instead.

Sometimes God gives us opportunites that are strange, incredible, or almost nonsensical. But who am I to say no? Who am I to put my own fears and hesitancies before God's commands? What selfishness! What faithlessness! God is offering me a new opportunity, a new adventure. And I am a girl who seeks adventure - - new ideas, new stories, new changes, new journeys.

So who am I to say no?
