Readily Unprepared.

As each day that God gives to me passes, I become more ready for the abrupt and startling changes that will occur in my life in the next 100 or so days. And this is big for me, because I absolutely despise change. But as I have written before, when God plants that holy discontent in your heart, it's nearly impossible to stay where God has you for now...but that passion for the purpose He created you for fuels whatever determination is necessary to get through the preliminary steps. These are probably the hardest steps we will have to take, because they take the most faith. Even if it is a difficult calling, it is easier to trust God and have faith that He will take care of you once you've actually started the journey than it is to take the blind steps of faith before you even know your calling.

But I am ready for this adventure. Whatever step I'm on. Knowing that I am completely incapable of doing anything at all. Knowing that if I do anything out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, I may jeopardize the life that God has called me to. Knowing that I am totally unprepared for whatever comes my way. But, my God is more than enough. My God invented "capable". My God does not accept self-seeking servants. My God is all I need.

To sum up...I'm ready to face the uncertainty of tomorrow despite my insufficiency today.
