Re-thinking

This might sound cliche but, God has perfect timing. You don't really say this until you're in that moment when you realize that this is true. So I have a right to say it now with the fullest meaning possible :)

"...my suitcase lies open on the floor, ready to be filled for a trip... My mind is full of the little things that I don't want to forget, all the errands that need to happen between now and my departure day, and how I can best organize my limited packing space.

But when I set my thoughts upon where I am going, why I am going, and with Whom, my heart switches to a new focus of preparation. I know that the one thing needed for those I am going to visit is Jesus; not an organized, stylish, well-prepared visitor, but a soul-surrendered, prayed-up, given life that is ready to be a vessel fit for His use and spent for His glory."

I stumble upon the reading above out of NOWHERE when I'm out of town on my own for the first time ever. It's for my job... but still, I'm reminded of my whole purpose here (and when I mean here, I mean on Earth).

Challenge yourself to "re-think" life! How does God want you to think? Have an open, eternal-perspective, joyful mindset!

To trust is to let go.
