I don't want to miss it...

10:22 am. The exact same time I started writing my blog post last night. No coincidences in God's timetable....

I hit the ground running this morning (by the way - I'm not really a runner). Coffee cup in hand, I began updates and uploads and a miscellany of other stuff. Funny how the immediate so overwhelms the important - and sitting here, in the quiet - listening for the voice of my Father, is the most important thing I can do at this moment.

In the excitement, in the rising tide of energy that's beginning to fill this place, I don't want to get off course. I don't want to miss the mystery and beauty of what God is doing... of what He's going to do in this day. All because of Jesus. I've seen and heard things already... things that go beyond dollars and cents. A Dad beginning to understand for the first time his son's faith. Wounded hearts hearing words of encouragement for the first time. Music becoming the voice of God in someones ear. How can you put a price tag on that?

I love the energy... I love the fun... I love the people.... but most of all, I love being part of something larger than myself. I am so grateful to be part of what my Father is doing. In a world and culture that makes me feel so small, it is like the breath of life itself to know that I am created and crafted to be woven into God's plan... that I am not just a cog in a machine, I am His child. All because of Jesus....

I wish I could fully grasp what that phrase encompasses... All because of Jesus.

But for now - in this time and place - I'm going to be the kid sitting on Daddy's lap. He is driving the car... but He let's me put my hands on the wheel so I can know the joy of the journey.

Whew! Back to work!
