   An angel has not yet appeared telling me to do this work. Well…. the instructions are in the Bible so I better take that as God’s official word on move forward. At least God is not asking me to sacrifice my only son to test my faith before I obey. I better give thanks on how easy this is and move ahead. I’ve just cut 30 pages off my book and I’m half way done on this first cut. I sent out 2 copies on email.

     Yes, Tim! When the word makes our next step clear we don’t need an angel just obedience! Thank you!

   I try and be wise to not do activity just because it can be easier than sitting still and listening for God’s voice. At the same time, much like inertia, I find it to be true within me that things at rest tend to stay at rest and things in motion tend to stay in motion.
   Plus, I can get frozen or overwhelmed in trying to micromanage the journey before I even take my first step.
   Finally, I have recently become aware that all of the focus and importance I’ve given to “the things “ and places the Lord is directing me to or sending me to…often have less to do with where I am sent, and more about what I will encounter on the way.
   My prayer: “Lord help me not be stuck in fear, comfort, or laziness, and to step in the direction you have sent me.”

     Thank you, Dan, and Amen to your prayer.
     I wrestle with over-thinking and perfecting my vision or plan to the point of doing nothing. I am learning that “Perfection is the ‘parent’ of Procrastination!”
