Today we get to experience a phenomena of our solar system.  I’ve been looking forward to this every since it was announced almost a year ago.  I love and have always loved science and our universe.  Its immensity and precision is so overwhelming it is hard to put words and perspective to it.  In fact, I can’t.  Today I just want to enjoy and appreciate what God has done and is doing.  I have four of our grandkids with us who spent the night.  We will start with a breakfast of their choice and then go out with the eclipse glasses so we can enjoy the wonderment of God Almighty.

I awoke this morning with anxiousness.  My one daughter is wanting to take some business steps which could be good for her.  Kathy and I both know she needs to take these steps and develop them from her own work and not from ours.  She, as any child does when they are adults, needs to be in charge of what she does.  She is asking for advice which I appreciate, I don’t want her forgetting she is a single mom with 4 kids.  Kathy and I are also looking at a home improvement which we want to do if it is the “right thing to do”.  We need to finish this conversation also.

This morning I asked God what He wants us to do with these.  I was startled and then humbled by His words.  He started by reminding me He is not a consultant.  He is God Almighty.  There is no question to His Rightness.  I was coming to Him as though I were still in charge and wanted to see what He was thinking.  When I turned the stone over I found myself then talking to God from the standpoint, “I am thinking….  Does this coincide with Your Perfect Will for me and us?”  It was amazing to have the calm of removing myself from the front seat to having God where He wants to be.

It is no minor thing allowing God to be Lord of my life.  Little do I realize how often I attempt to take the reins of life. He is awakening me to what I’ve wanted to do for so long–let him reign supreme over all my life.  Day by day he is doing this.  A new creation is awake to this or learning to be awake to this.  I’m right in the mix of it.
