More than meets the eye...

There is something achingly fall in the air today. As I drove to church this morning, there was this very grey fall like day trying to form. The humidity however would not let the day that "should" have been happen. There was this summer like presence that would not let go. My mind was not ready for what was going to take place this morning. I was thinking about cool breezes, and leaves changing color...and then it hit me.

There is way more than one reason that I am in this place, in this town at this time. God has provided for me in ways that I was not even aware existed. For this I am amazed and amazingly grateful. This has only become clear to me right here, right now.

As I sat listening to the preacher preach It was clear to me. God's providence has been at play in every step of the way. The career path...has been god's path. I came to this city for a job. This came after going to another city for a job. After leaving a different city and job. The opportunities that have come and gone in the midst of this process I think have come at times when God knew what was going on and needed to get things done. This is vague...I am aware of this. Lets just say that when certain things have come open, and I have passed for whatever reason, it has all lead up to right now. Being where I am, living where I am living and being in community with the people I have come to know in this town. This is where God has me, and for right now, I believe it is where he will keep me. So I came here for 1 reason. The Job. But I believe God brought me here for many reasons. If I had selected my path differently, I am sure God would be there with me too. This is just one of those hind-sight moments where I realized if I had chosen different...There is a distinct possibility that I would be in a very different place. I mean that figuratively as much as I do Literally.

Right now I am listening to: Air Conditioner Hum (the window unit kind)
