What is the will of God? Its the age old question that many of pious teenager and new Christian has agonized over for countless hours. Should I marry Sky or Regina? Trevor or Quinten? Should I go to college or start my own business. Am I even supposed to marry? Surely because I want to so bad, the Lord will not allow it.......
Most of the above is rubbish..... Cause for great consternation... and just downright yuck..... The point is when you are in the middle of a "serious" decision, sometimes after greaaaaaaat deliberation you actually find out the clear direction and then you walk that way.... Other times.. and these are more normal, one takes a step, the best one he/she sees... maybe decided on what color he/she prefers, which road looks better, which girl looks prettier, which future looks rosier... whatever, they just make a decision and then go for it and then things can finally start happening.......The logjam gets broken.... The anxiety of holdout gives into the exuberance of the "free fall", and then who cares.......Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah..Whew! that was fun... What was the big deal anyway?
Chief Mac, the old wise chief from Camp used to say and still probably does.... Welll boyzzzz, he'd say.. I don't know what I'm going to do until I stick my foot in the fire.... but whatever you do, do something.... what? no long drawn out fast and prayer.... no agonizing over every detail, no long list of +'s and -'s. Nope. Just do somethin' he'd say... and the one of two things will happen.. Either
A) you'll be right, in which case you will gain confidence and exuberance to continue.... or
B) you'll get it wrong.. in which case you will learn something of value and have a great story
I love it..That's the American Spirit.........Think like the Texans..........If you're going to lose.... Lose Bigggggggg...............Go for it.........Let it all hang out!!!!! Don't hold anything back.... Give it the Jessie!!! (D.O.)
You're only here once.. Make it memorable... Have a great day..
