Wow, it has been a non-stop whirlwind over here. A typical day runs with a 14 hr work schedule and my day off ends up with half of it back at the office. We do what we can to catch our breath and get ready for the next God moment. Today was my day off and I got called back to make a couple phone calls so things are set for tomorrow's business. While at the office a crisis situation arose and I was right there to deal with it. A good thing too, as it was an issue I was familiar with. The days here are filled with these God moments. Times when I'd rather be somewhere else and then I find God put me right where I was for a reason. Most of us are pious and say how great it is to trust in God. I can honestly say I hope to be like all of the pious folks someday. Many days I'm arguing with God to go do what I want to do. I am thankful He knows better.
I often have to remind myself of Roman's 7 where Paul's states the things he wants to do he doesnt do, but the things he doesnt want to do he keeps on doing. A lot like Paul I find myself battling the spirit and flesh daily. This battle reminds me of God's great and wonderful grace.
I hope you, like me, can marvel in God's grace with you. I also hope you struggle less with God taking you where He wants you. I'm worried the heels on my boots may get too worn out from me trying to dig them in. Oh what a wretched man I am, thank you Lord for your grace.
