I can hardly believe the events of yesterday as they unfolded.  I had blogged that I was returning to work after spending the two weeks with family matters.  In so doing, I got to the school to find the principal wasn’t there.  Her father had passed away and his funeral is tomorrow so she wasn’t returning until the end of this week.  I then got a call that my grandson who lives with us had a car accident very close to our home as he’d headed to work.  This was turning into last Friday’s story.  I left the school and went to the scene of the accident.  He was fine but the person he’d hit was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.  Both cars were totaled.  He and I spent most of the day working on details of insurance, his own hospital visit to ensure he’s ok, etc.  God is working all the time on things I know nothing about until they happen.  He wants me to be ready to do my part joining Him.  I’m learning some lessons about staying more loosely attached to all these earthly things I’ve called important so I’m more able to be involved in what God calls important.  Then it’s knowing what steps to take to complete what He wants done rather than trying to take charge as soon as I arrive.  One step at a time I’m learning.

In this journey I’m presently learning that God wants me trusting always and using faith as my motivation to take the present steps He wants me taking.  My devotions this morning were talking about Jesus spending ample time each early morning in prayer.  I do take this time but I certainly see my need to listen more closely to The Holy Spirit so I learn better how to respond away from the early morning and I’m in the events of the day.  Learning to lean and not lead is a lesson of present for me.
