This will be a series of posts of the lessons I've learned around this cross country move. God always speaks to me when I feel the most pressure and frustration, and there's a lot of that with a big move, a big step of faith, a lot of people, and a lot of uncertainties. So enjoy.
Two of the side jobs I did when I was on staff at Lighthouse were taking the chairs out and putting the chairs back in the 15 passenger vans and trying to cut hundreds of cd inserts with absolute perfection with a paper cutter. These were not the responsibilities I looked forward to. The chairs would always be put in wrong first, have to be moved, sometimes twice, and seemingly take forever. The cd inserts were tedious and mind numbing. God would always use them to check where my heart was. Was it about being on a stage or serving for the sake of the kingdom?
It is so fitting that today, my last day living in the Poconos, after I've been off staff at Lighthouse for 7 months, and as I depart to LA to launch Clarity and run full into Jesus; I find myself putting chairs back in the van (with several necessary repositions and difficulties) and trying to perfectly cut cd inserts... all after packing and loading everything we own for three days. I had to laugh (after dealing with the frustration) at the thought. I am thankful to serve and practice God's presence in all that I do.
Easily said, not easily done. We're in it together.
