God is good.
(Okay say it with me: All The Time)
Yes, He is. And He just amazes me with how much grace He gives to me.
I try to come up with interesting topics on my blog. Some are easier to come by than others. I do try to challenge people to think. I get tired of the status quo of Christian thinking. That's not to say I'm perfect in any way, shape or form. I am far from it. But I am someone who is willing to think differently than the norm, but without compromising. If you're willing to think things through, meditate on them and evaluate how God sees them, then we will get along great. If not, that's what my blog is about.
Today, I did something that I have never done in my life. I was as scared, nervous, freaked out as I have ever been about something in a long time. What it is doesn't matter. Suffice to say it was something that I lost a lot of sleep over last night, and struggled to eat a meal today. But I did it. Looking back now that it's over, I didn't do it on my own.
There was nothing spiritual about what I did. It wasn't necessarily a "Christian" thing to do. I'm not saying that it was a non-Christian thing either. It's just something that I had always thought about doing in the back of my mind. The opportunity never presented itself.
As such, I figured there would be other things I could do. There were. Several, in fact. And when I think about it now, those things prepared me for what I did today. I can safely say, that had I not done those other things, I don't know if I would have enjoyed myself as much. Those other things were fulfilling, to be sure. They were very "Christian" things to do. While they were God-ordained things, the external factors of religion and motives of people got in the way. It left a very sour taste in my mouth.
Those "other things" felt so right. They felt like I was perfectly in His will. I probably was. But, even though you can be perfectly in line with Him, that doesn't mean the people around you are. As I waited on God to open new doors, I struggled. And I waited.
After years of waiting, I finally found a new door to walk through. I didn't deserve it. But He gave it to me. He did it. Others bestowed praise on me but it was Him. He prepared me for that moment. One can choose to agree or disagree with my assessment and that's okay. If it makes someone think.....good.
All I know is that I am thankful, grateful, awed and amazed. It was just a little thing....but He did it anyway.
