the entirely possible

What do you do when an opportunity comes along and you'd love to participate but it's a big thing? A really big thing. It's going to be longer than you've ever been gone before. It's going to cost a lot of money. It's going to be hard work and you're not so sure you're up to the physicality of it all. How do you jump in with both feet off that precipice of your personal "normal" and fly smack dab into extreme unfamiliarity and the mostly unknown?

My cousin says, "God doesn't call the enabled. He enables the called." I believe this. I do--and it's a comfort for sure. I just want to know we've been called to this particular task--to this experience. I get excited when I think of it--the adventure--the tremendous opportunity. Wouldn't it be wonderful? When I think about doing something this new and exciting for the Lord now, at my age, it's humbling for sure.

If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get his help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves. Don't think you're going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open. James 1:5-8 Message

Whether it's a small thing or a big thing--in our eyes of humanity--isn't the process the same? We pray. We ask the Lord to open doors, close others and move in the direction of the prize always looking with great anticipation toward the entirely possible!

Lord, Thank you for your promise of freely offered wisdom. Guide us in the way you'd have us go and make that way clear for us. Without You, we can do nothing. I love you, Father.
