Most of them really. Don't let them fool you. Sometimes you think you've got it, only to have God pull a j/k on you and send you in a different direction. Sometimes you realize later that thinking you were supposed to be about a) was really just preparation for a b) that you couldn't see at the time. <br /><br />The trick is to stay loose and enjoy the ride. Most of life isn't made up of big, life-defining, movie moments. They come along sometimes. Most of it, though, consists of the day-to-day (the fancy word for that is "quotidian," and yes, it comes from the Latin), the mundane (that too), the ordinary -- the little moments where can choose to serve ourselves or others, to open up or close ourselves off, to reach out or to not bother. <br /><br />To drive home because your meeting is done or wait around for 20 minutes so you can drop off a Frosty to your favorite dancer. :)Tednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724655803558631921.post-15559438253817252052010-01-06T23:31:50.276-05:002010-01-06T23:31:50.276-05:00Though you ask many hard questions that may not ha...Though you ask many hard questions that may not have answers, remember this: God has more than one thing in life for you to do. As the moments of time change, as the circumstances around the lives you touch evolve, your tasks will be unique to those circumstances. God gives us many interests, talents and gifts, precisely because He knows we are ever-changing, ever-growing even while remaining true to the core of who we were created to be. God's voice does not have to be heard. Some people can feel His voice in their passions; some see His voice in the things that stir them when they look at the world. Sometimes, God's voice is that spark of inspiration within us that we cannot ignore. Often we forget that those sparks can be God speaking. Today, tomorrow, 10, 15, 35, 70 or anywhere in between- we may choose to go only go through motions, or we may choose to open our minds to all the ways God shows us what our path for this moment is. <br />-pmcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
