Being sick makes me thankful for the times I'm healthy. Don't get me wrong... being sick is brutal! It's been going around - flu, fevers, coughing, achey body. Yech. But today I'd like to consider something positive out of the mess that I feel like I've lived in for the past 2 weeks and recognize that Jesus uses these moments in my life to remind me that it's not all about me.
Over the weekend while at the grocery store (I'm still not feeling well mind you), I met 3 people that wanted to share/pray/have lunch/hear about Young Life. I LOVE the opportunity to talk about Young Life and also to hear about how God is using others to inspire, love, and bring life to those in the area. But what's interesteing to me is that God sets these appointments, not I, and therefore he receives the credit.
A man sets plans in his heart, but the Lord determines his steps. -A Proverb
Being sick this week has been a great reminder that we venture and set many plans, but we are only farmers. God makes things grow. I'm excited Bill, John and Jennifer for what the future holds in our lives and I'm excited to spend time with you all soon.
