Palam Deus

It seems to me that God loves His mystery, I think that is one of the reasons I love Him so much.
I am in Texas for a job interview…it is odd…a southern California guy who lives in Colorado, looking at a church in Texas…It snowed (just a dusting) at my house in CO, and here today it is over 90. It is a such a crazy thing to think to move here…but beyond that. God is so mysterious in the ways He puts things together. Like the weather; the winds blows over the warm pacific, cold north pacific and creates the weather for the most of the US it comes down from WA,OR,CA and blows over the warm deserts of UT west CO and then Hits the MTN ranges near my home…creates crazy weather for the plains and then cycles through the east. What an incredible creation…what a brilliant mind and order. If only all things were as easy…like discovering where and when to serve God as a pastor…Do I plant the church that I dream about in Colorado or do I look elsewhere to see if I can match vision and philosophy with theology? The mystery…I will go where ever He desires, but discerning what he desires, that at least lately has been tough. I have heard the voice and direction so easily before, but not now. I love what Erwin talked about in chasing daylight and in the series about just going…DO SOMEthing! But, when my family is involved and I want my best friends to serve with me, and all the other factors it seems to cloud or at least make the voice harder to hear. Maybe I should just do something, or maybe I should wait? The Mystery…

I waited patiently for the Lord he inclined and heard my Cry…I will sing a new song to Him…

tell me your thoughts!
