That’s Not What I Was Wanting

It’s difficult to mess up a meeting when no one shows up.  That’s one of the positives that I pulled out of tonight’s “meeting” for Financial Peace University.  Was it discouraging?  Yep.  Embarrassing?  Not quite so much as if only 1 had showed up. :-)  But, it was also humbling.  I found myself going back to Sunday’s message of “Not my will, but Yours be done.”  I sat there thinking that I’d like to have more people there, but then I started thinking that maybe God didn’t want anyone else there.  Maybe or maybe not, but I needed to allow for the possibility.  My will is often not the same as his will.  I want to go left to his right.  Down to his up.  Cracker Barrel to his O’Charley’s.  Whatever the case, if things don’t turn out how I planned, maybe it’s just that life was being directed by a different, and infinitely better, hand.
