Still looking for the best spot for it in my new office space, but I still have this printed out piece of paper I like to keep within my peripheral vision. It says:
Things "Go Different" more often than they "Go Wrong".
(Proverbs 19:21) Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of YAHWEH that will stand.
(Romans 8:28) And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Been thinking this morning about the hard left turns life can take that we don't expect or want. My hard turn away from vocal performance after spending five years earning a degree for it. My surprising pull to worship ministry pastoring and almost equally surprising exit from it after two years. My shift from thinking I'd just be an audio drama production studio to being a much more community focused podcaster and youtuber, with audio drama work now taking up the minority of my time.
I resisted every single one of these changes, but I can look back and see how they led to really good things that are even better than the plan I had in mind.
I'm curious if you guys have any memories of these kinds of hard left turns that ended up being good for your life and work in God's Kingdom.
Anything come to mind?
