What would you do?
I was all fired up about beginning this 30 Day experiment. Looking back, I really do not know what I was expecting other than to try to be open to whatever God had to teach me about myself and how I view the world. I seem to get motivation to write on this Blog the day after we have a Home Team meeting. I guess this is a testament to how effective and uplifting this ministry can be. The meeting this week was just a culmination of thoughts and steps that my life seems to be taking during this experiment: Where is my life taking me and How does God fit into all of that?
I am a very introspective person, and as such, I tend to find meaning and symbolism in different ways in everyday life. One of the biggest ways for me is through TV. I love to interact with how other people look at the world and filter this through my Christian World View, and then give thanks for all of the lessons that God has given to me. One such 'interaction' came while I was watching a show called Grey's Anatomy on Sunday night. Now, I am not going to hold this show up as an example of good character television in terms of the values that it portrays but I really like some of the actors and the way that it presents characters who are struggling with real life and trying to do the best that they can. Anyway, the latest episode concluded with the main character, Miranda Grey, asking: "If you knew that tomorrow was your last day to live-What would you do with it?!?"
I have to admit that as soon as I started this 30 day, Surprise Me God experiment, my life has been turned upside down. Things got worse at work. Things and people that I had counted on in my personal life started to fall apart and some of those foundational relationships that you count on for your sanity began to erode around me. The constant throughout all of this chaos, however, is that there have been little things here and there that have shown me that God is still here in the "trenches" with me and I am constantly having reminders of past trials and victories come to my mind to reinforce that God has not forsaken me. I feel lost and encouraged all at the same time!
I do not know what the final two weeks of this experiment will bring but I do know that God will continue to be along for the ride because He has been their all along!!!
