I have a job to do. It’s to tell everyone what is happening. What has happened. And, I believe, what will happen.
I am not a prophet. Just a teacher. But I do believe that the commission God gave me was to communicate with a clear eye and, sometimes, a hard voice and that might be uncomfortable. Actually it IS uncomfortable.
So as I transfer most of my world here, I will make a statement or two for my readers and for myself.
One: I am not an optimist. I do not seek the best in a situation and do not expect the most beautiful anywhere. Instead, I expect to see skewed versions of perfection which lighten my spirit while confirming my pessimism. I am not boasting; I am just stating my state of being.
Two: Whereas I am not optimistic about the world, I am full of peace about the direction of God. I was following my husband through the wild insanity of The Magic Kingdom a couple of days ago and thinking… “You know, this place is nuts. Yet, I have total confidence on his sense of direction and knowledge of the path ahead of us. So long as I am following directly behind him, I don’t have to worry about a thing.”
That’s how I feel, in a more profound depth, about the Lord in my life. The world is nuts. It is not going to get better. I am convinced of this. But I know that I need have no worry about my path so long as I am closely following my Lord’s footsteps.
So…2009. It will be a year of many startling revelations. I am in prayer over what to communicate. God has given me a job to do and I can only obey.
