I got an e-mail from our team leader today. The thing that struck me was the subject heading. "Who will it be today?" I read it as "will it be today?" That's been sort of my theme for this whole NOLA experience. Way back, my plans were all set up. I was taking the summer to go work at a Christian camp like I had for the last two years. I loved it; the kids, the staff; it was life. ...but then...
Working as a youth leader at one of our Rock and Jock nights at Prime Time, I was asked by one of the students if I was going to New Orleans. I was like, "No!?¿...I have camp! It's God's plan for my life!"
That night I had a LOT to think about. And this question was going through my head, "Will it be today that you serve me? That you let go of your life and give it to Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith?" I realized that these plans that I had made looked good to those around. But why is there an "I"
there? The plans "I" had made. When had I really gone to God with my plans?
Oh, He was right there when I made my them...but they were my plans, I hadn't even gone to Him for counsel about it.
So Will it be TODAY that I trust in Him? Today that I go to Him for everything that comes across my path? That would be my prayer. For those that read this, please pray for our team that we continually seek His will and see God in even the little things. And for me personally, that I seek after the Man who's got the plan.
God Bless,
