Great googalie moogalie where is the Fedex guy.

Yo what up people. That's right I said great googalie moogalie it's from Maggie and the Ferocious Beast great cartoon. I'd rather watch 100 episodes of it than watch 1 of The Wonder pets they stink. But that's not what I want to talk about today because today I'm waiting. Waiting for the FedEx dude to come and deliver my Blackberry Storm but the dude doesn't usually come till like 4 0'clock and it's making me crazy. But OK deep breath.....inhale exhale alright calm has come at least till I'm finished writing this then it will be back to staring at my Bible Commentary trying to figure out a bunch of Bible verses on grace all while the clock moves slower than a 99yr old pregnant woman ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! But this waiting brings up some good thinking as well like oh idk like waiting on the Lord.

I have never been accused of being a patient man in fact it's quite the opposite I sort of shoot first ask questions later. For most of my life this was never a problem cause well let's face it I wasn't shooting real bullets and people will forgive you most of the time eventually. But than a funny thing happened I became a Pastor and shooting first in this line of work may mean the difference between a kid being turned towards God or totally away from him. I have learned to wait on the Lord. Meaning this we all go through struggles in our lives you know what I mean ups and downs. We need money, food, clothes, healing, the next chapter of our lives, how do I talk to my friend. All these kinds of things happen to us almost everyday if they don't then your walk with the Lord must be perfect therefore you would be Jesus who by the way struggled some times so I guess this applies to all of us. But when these things happen are initial reaction is to go out and do something right away, like get a job, say the first thing that comes to mind, pray a safe prayer like Dear God I want to know what the next chapter of my life is and I think it's starts by going to college. You know there's nothing quite as dumb as when we tell God our plan. Guilty as charged. I wonder if sometimes he laughs at us....well I know he laughs at me. But how about this when tough times and or good times come we wait on the Lord we say unsafe prayers. Like when we need food Lord I know you can provide for me show me the way I need to go, now this may mean going out and getting a job the difference will be that it will be the job God intended you to have. Or this your senior year in high school everyone and their brother is going to college and you think that sounds pretty good I think I'll do that you go to Akron you for 2 months and realize this sucks. But instead try this God lead me in the direction you want me to go. Now he might not answer right away, and the answer may not be anything that you want to hear but I guarantee that if you follow that path it will lead to incredible things.

My point is this following God is an adventure, one I'm on my self and the trip would suck if I didn't listen to the guide. It's almost like going to climb Everest and stopping 100 yards from the top cause it's to hard. You've made it that far why not just except the challenge and move you butt. This is the adventure if your in a relationship with God and are willing to follow God part way but when the going gets tough or something doesn't go our way, and we have to wait we abandon the guide and trust our own map. When all along the next step might have gotten us to our goal. So follow God on your adventure and learn not to say no to him....and yes that may mean witnessing to the cashier or talking to someone you don't like but that's the challenge except it and have a great time being guided by God.
