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.
