"Wouldn’t it be great if GOD left this one open-ended?”
I actually uttered this phrase once.

I was thinking in terms of yet another rebuilding project that the GITC team would not get to complete. We’d have to walk away without finishing another home. I was thinking that for some of our newer team members, there was a driving need for more work, and of course, more work to be done.

I really do need to learn to be more specific when speaking with GOD, because seven months later, I have found myself in the here and now at a very open-ended phase in my life: lots of variables, no real solutions.
Nothing is finished. Nothing is settled.
Nothing is completely clear, and I am certainly not complete.
That’s not at all what I had in mind.

I received an email with an interesting foot note:
Don’t ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet.
