Relaxing and Thinking…

This is the second time in a week that I have been out of town, relaxing. It feels good. When I am home at the CrossRoads Ranch, there is so much work to do that it is difficult to relax. Miles away the pressure of the work melts away and I begin to nap, read fiction, in general, just begin to unwind. I think that is a good thing.

I have been thinking about a lot of plans for the coming year. Bringing in money to support my family and missionary endeavors is important. But more than that I want to be focused on God’s purposes for the coming year. Timing is important. Relaxing into God’s plans is not easy for a guy like me. Right now I am praying the Luke 10:2b prayer, “God, send workers.” There is no way I can accomplish all that God wants done without more workers.

And more than that I am praying this simple prayer, “Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” A good prayer for a new year I think.
