Passenger

I just don't get it. I don't understand how a God who has the entire universe under his thumb could let me (or you) participate in what he's doing. None of the analogies we have are good enough to describe what it's like.
We've been open for 2 weeks today and already he is moving in unexpected ways. "His grace is sufficient" is taking on new meaning as I find myself in a position that I am completely unqualified for and really not that good at.
I was praying this morning on my way home from a 6am meeting and I was asking God if this is really what he wanted me to be doing. I felt so encouraged. He said that I could stop if I really wanted to but that he'd prepared me for this time. I also felt like he said it was going to succeed. How could you not follow God and give him everything with such encouragement as that!!
Making this place succeed is not anything I can do. It's all going to have to be Him.
On another note: It is absolutely breathtaking in here, and there is such a peace. It's almost tangible. I stole the pic from a friend's blog (thanks, by the way!!)
He really knows what he's doing and despite difficulty, I think it'll all work out in the end.
Classes started this week too. I'm so blessed to be going to school. This year is going to be a wild ride... I'm so glad I'm just a passenger.
