Standing in th
e voters’ line, my heart raced with great expectation. While it may sound admirable (me being full of expectation…LOL!) at the time it seemed quite ridiculous. Everything around me was utterly chaotic. Nothing was going as planned, yet on the inside I was better than calm, I was fully expectant! I had no idea why? A trip that was supposed to take an hour took 3 and ½ hours! My 1:30PM appointment was not prepared and my 2:30PM was late. Didn’t they know I had to get Jasmine at 3:00PM so she could be at be present and available ready to show off her skills at tryouts at 3:30PM? Oh and who told Jada to break out in hives? Let me not mention, my voting location moved…without tell me! Yet amid the chaos, I possessed an overwhelming sense of excitement!
Jasmine made it to tryouts and it was the best she’d played in months. Jada was easily soothed with an oatmeal bath. I voted and received my cool sticker. Every meeting went well and there was no disappointment or frustration. For that day, I reached my destination. The journey is never certain nor are we promised that it will be free of obstacles. Yet, as Believers, we have solace in the fact that our outcome is certain. We win! Always in all things we win! See, the only thing you and I are to do each day is our part. Write your plan, prepare your hearts, and take deliberate action toward achieving your goals. Then REST! Leave the results in the hands of our almighty God!
Be encouraged. When you do what you can, God does what you can’t!
