Planning and me go together like cookie dough and chocolate chips. Give me the job of planning the meal, planning the vacation, planning the congregational visioning process, planning the closet reorganizing, planning the preaching schedule, planning the family calendar, and I’m as happy as Homer with a Duff Beer.
Imagining a future and trying to have some say in it…remember when that seemed possible? Remember six months ago when you had a vacation on your calendar? A game plan for the holidays? A coffee date for next week?
Those were the days.
And yet. All this time you have been breathing, and you didn’t have to plan a thing. All day your heart has been lub-dubbing and none of your plans made that happen, either.
God is always up to some life-giving something, it seems, without our getting too involved in all the details.
