Blog-cation!

For the last few weeks so many things have occupied my mind and distracted me from writing a blog. The changes of everyday life, family, the struggles of friends and associates, health challenges, and current events that shape and ultimately determine our future are claiming much space in my mind. 

When it becomes cluttered I have to pour it out into the hands of God or it paralyzes my ability to think and react clearly. I have learned that in His infinite design of a human this was his plan, echoed by the numerous Psalm's of David who faced this challenge continuously. When he needed answers he went to the one with solutions:

Answer me, O Lord, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me. Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly for I am in trouble. Psalm 69:16 & 17

Then I remember Jesus words: In this world you will have trouble, but take heart I have overcome the world. Better than a Valium, much less confusing than smoking a joint or drinking excessively, when I finally came to the realization that any confusion, trouble, or stress that builds up within me can be filtered through the lens of God and returned with the calm of knowing he is right there with me to provide answers, I got it.

But part of getting it is allowing time to understand it. This is so simple, God has a plan for us, and no obstacles can change it except the ones we let our minds dwell on. We think we may be in trouble, we may be overwhelmed but we are in fact just stepping through the minefield of life with the one who knows where all the mines are.

So glad he loves us enough to know we can be human with him, and still think we don't have all the answers until we realize he has already answered them without our advice.

What a mighty God we serve!
