Ready or Not

Something to Ponder  

If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what God reveals, they are most blessed.

– Proverbs 29:18 

Stay safe. Stay connected.  

Blessings and the strength of Love be with you.

Reading “The Most Important Point”

by Edward Espe Brown; Danny S. Parker 

To find our way in life, we will have to have some strong conviction. We’ll just have to go ahead. If you wait until you’re good enough or you’re skillful enough or until you are sure of yourself and are certain to get it right, it may never happen. At some point there’s no help for it, and you just go ahead.... 

We have the tendency as human beings to want to do the right thing before we do anything. 

Forgetting yourself is understanding that you cannot control how others will experience you. You let them have the experience they have. But when we keep track of how we are doing and what others think, that will make it all the more difficult. 

If you wait for, I’m inspired or I’m sure it’s okay, then your whole life may be spent waiting. And over time you may find that worse than going ahead. 


Prayer 

Blessed are you 

now that the New Year has begun. 

Blessed with the light 

that overwhelms the darkness. 

Blessed with the life breath of God’s Spirit. 

Blessed in order to bless 

all those you meet on the path of your life. 

– Albert Klok
