Getting A Grip

Draft after draft I’ve begun to type. They pile up like a stack of junk mail near the phone. You know what I mean… The unimportant mail. The stuff we could live without. Nothing valuable like a check from a customer paying their bill. Not a letter of...

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your on
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” -Mary Oliver . I was recently talking with a friend and marveling over life plans and how quickly they change. . Honestly, if we didn’t have the vision of hindsight, I’m not sure how I’d make sense of anything. But standing back to look at the whole picture can be so enlightening to the landscape of our lives, because when our focus is up close we are often confused, conflicted and try and calculate entirely too many scenarios. It’s good to dream - and dare to do it - but just don’t be surprised if He surprises you with a thing that looked nothing like the other thing in your head. (Spoiler: He does this a lot!) . . I was reading a book last week that shot me a one-liner, making sense of what I’ve been chewing on for ages now. It all has to do with God’s plan for Joseph as he’s sold into slavery in Egypt and the nearly unbelievable plan that follows. Beth Moore describes Joseph’s ability to reflect on the life behind him and how it was God ordained. She described that reflection by calling it: “the long view over his shoulder.” . . It’s likely those reading this today haven’t been sent to Egypt to preserve a remnant in the middle of a famine, however - one long look over our shoulders can resonate in such mighty ways. . Take time today to give your life a backward glance. I would venture to guess that if we are walking in obedience, following His plan, the span of our rear view looks utterly amazing indeed. #thissideofgrace
