MOVE IT, WILL!
Okay, so. I've wanted a lot of things lately, and first and foremost I've wanted a job that would let me stay in Garrett.
And then....
let's see, the readings for yesterday from Treasury of Daily Prayer were about Job and praising God even in adversity. And then today's Meyer Minute talked about Romans, and how even if "all things are working together for good", that GOOD has to be GOD'S way and we need to get our will OUT of the way.
I need to say "God...YOUR will be done" and MEAN it.
And I'm trying, I really am.
But it's hard to shove it completely aside. I really, really, REALLY want to just move back to Garrett. I love it there - I love my church, my swimming pool, my fellow Lutherans, the attitude of the town...
I love that it's right close to the Sem, so we can go and get new music, and new resources and actually see them first, to determine if we really WANT them - and of course I love the easy access to Kramer Chapel and the lovely services featuring the Kantorei or the Schola Cantorum.
I love playing the organ for services - and NOT having to play EVERY Sunday.
I love the SMALL TOWN-ness of Garrett - and the fact that it's NOT a "big-city bedroom community". You just can't GET that near Indy, regardless of how hard they try.
Oh well. I'll try...really, really, REALLY hard...to keep praying "God...even though I know what I want, even more than that I want YOUR will to be done," and mean it.
That, as everything else, will have to come by HIS GRACE, because I sure as heck can't do it on my own.
