Out of the Blue

"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance." Read this on one of those forwarded e-mails in my mailbox. Yea sometimes I feel like we can get very uptight about things. Especially so when I need to have this little thing in place, or expect that thing to happen. All's alright except when things don't go my way. But perhaps I need to pause and learn to enjoy the moment, even when it's not in my 'strategic' plans. Sometimes, it's like I carry so many expectations or burdens from myself or others in life that I just 'endure' but forgot to 'enjoy' also. This period of time, with lots of springcleaning and ministry planning has surfaced this even more of this in me. It's a challenge to "endure" and "enjoy" at the same time. But I'm sure God knows what's best and I can cast my anxieties on Him. Guess one of the things I really want to learn is "dancing" ...

“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop window to display one’s talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off. Poverty-stricken as the Church today in many things, she is most stricken here in the place of prayer. We have many organizers, but few agonisers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers, many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion, many interferers, few intercessors; many writers but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.” - Leonard Ravenhill, 'Why Revival Tarries'
