Over coffee today with my good friend Marcus Hall, I had the chance to share an overview of the past year. 2011 has been one of the greatest years for growth in my life. I've had several challenging moments both personally and professionally. Despite losing loved ones or struggling to close a major deal, I've been fortunate enough to take a step back and reflect on the following;
The upside is - - this can cause us to seek God passionately. This sort of disorientation has a way of driving us to our knees.
How we handle the shipwrecks in our lives will determine whether our lives become a tragedy or comedy. We can't control what happens to us. But we can control our response.
Although we don't know exactly where we're going much of the time, this disorientation develops our dependence upon God. And it is our dependence upon God, not our best-laid plans, that will get us where God wants us to go.
The unpredictable twists and turns of life can drive you crazy. Or you can learn to enjoy the journey.
