Something Heavenly

Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something heavenly
Something Heavenly
excerpt from Whatever You're Doing (Something Heavenly) by Sanctus Real

It feels like things are changing. Not sure what. Last week at church our pastor talked about changes that will be coming in the next year ... a college church plant, needs for more leaders, possibly another Sunday service. This week we will hear more about what exactly that means. All this stuff will take more work, more time, more of everything.

Its all exciting stuff, good stuff. But its also a lot of stuff and well, for the most part its still relatively unknown. The leadership is planning, but other than the vision and plan there isn't a lot to share just yet. Ummm, sounds like chaos to me.

You know I don't like chaos. I'm an engineer...I like neat. I like orderly. I like scheduled. I like known.

But all of this is unknown, and to me that can be a little scary. There's been no impact analysis. There haven't been focus groups and surveys. And I'm guessing we'll have to rebaseline just about everything (engineers don't like rebaselining! It messes up the milestones ;o)

But, if I'm honest and truthful (and I find it best to be that way), its exciting. Even the unknown parts only have me curious, but not freaking out. I feel like I'm in a wait and see mode to discover what to do next. Its a time right now to seek God .. to be in His word and in prayer for all the concerns that are going on at church, whether its the pastor's missionary trip to Africa, or my friend's knee that is on the verge of giving out for good.

So while I'm waiting, I'm not inactive. I'm busy readying myself, spiritually speaking. So in the midst of all this change, there is this God-peace, because as I get to know Him more and more, I trust him more and more.

Something is changing.

Maybe its me.
