Riding

I sent a flurry of emails out today in preparation for the Walk to Emmaus tomorrow.  At one point, one of the Board members said, "Now......Just Breathe..lol....God is in control......"  I laughed and wrote back, "I am breathing.  I breathe by organizing."  God has to take care of the big things, like two team members with cancer, another one who lost her father this morning, a pilgrim who is deciding not to come on the walk, and arranging for grace to cover the whole event.  God is in control, and I know that.

I'm grateful for that, but it doesn't mean I don't participate in the work he has given to me.  In fact, I believe he expects my participation.

I read a devotional today from the book A Year with Aslan: Daily Reflections from the Chronicles of Narnia.

Then [Aslan] said, "We have a long journey to go.  You must ride on me."...And with a great heave he rose underneath then and then shot off, faster than any horse could go, down hill and into the thick of the forest.

Amen.
