I love knowing something is coming next. Sensing that something new is on the horizon. Ever since the calendar turned 19 days ago, I have been filled with an overwhelming sense that 2009 is going to be a memorable year. Sure some of those memories already have decipherable definition...a pilgrimage to Israel...the biggest speaking opportunity I've had to date... but I have the feeling most of what 2009 will be about is still unknown. Yet, I find myself full of anticipation of something good. Many things, actually. Not necessarily easy things, but good things.
Ministry things. Relational things. Opportunity things. Growth things. God things.
I think I'm an anticipation junkie. I am energized by the unknown thing that lies ahead. In contrast, when life is too predictable...too stable...I often find my spirit slumping. I don't know if this is normal. But my favorite place to be is on the edge of the unknown of all that God is preparing to do. That place where faith is required and the future unfolds in raindrops of vision. I love moving into that fogginess...discerning each step one footprint at a time.
The journey is there for the taking.
