- There is craziness going on in Boston with the hunt for the bombers of the Marathon. People are glued to their TV's and computers trying to get that next bit of information.
- There is craziness going on at work for me---with me gone, and my boss on a trip to Europe, our place is in a little bit of uneasiness when it comes to getting things done in our little recycling company.
- There is craziness going on in our small group---a very pregnant family in the midst of selling their home and moving to Columbia, SC, along with a recent death, total family brokenness, not to mention our normal day to day and week to week issues called life.
- There is craziness going on at home---why wouldn't there be with 4 children all under 7.
And I'm leaving it all. Temporarily, but am leaving it. I am leaving things undone, unaccounted for, unfinished. This causes me a bit of unease.
Here is what I know and preach to myself every day now---God is in control of it all. Can you know that? Can you live like that? I mean, all of the stuff that have led up to this trip---the very things going on right at this moment, He is in control of---and I don't mean He is responsible and is allowing things to happen in a passive way. He. Is. In. Control.
He is flying the ship, He is navigating the way---in an absolutely crazy, intentional pattern of bringing more of His children into His story, to ultimately glorify Himself.
So yea, I'm leaving it all, because He can handle all of THIS, as well as all that will happen to us in Kenya, and we are along for the ride.
Let's enjoy it!
