All the way through the bible, starting with Moses people are having their lives shaped in ways they never expected, didn't feel equipped for, and didn't really want - didn't choose. Moses didn't choose his life as Prince of Egypt to be overturned; to loose his home, his wealth, his status, his job, his ideas, his beliefs. He didn't choose.
So anyway, Matthew tax collector, disciple, he didn't choose.
Paul, the apostle, writer, builder of churches; he didn't choose.
Mary, Elizabeth, Martha, Ruth ...they didn't choose.
And I didn't choose.
And if I had, it wouldn't be as good as this.
I like wearing the trousers in my life, I always have. Now I wear them with, I think, aplomb.
I'm not the last in the rounders queue, because I'm not in a queue. I'm not playing that game because I've been taken out, set aside, I'm required for other things.
It's a relief to me because I don't like speaking after eight o'clock - I'm not into sharing, much. And I don't like washing socks x
Here's my prayer,
Dear Lord of our lives, please show us your way for us and let us rejoice in that,
Amen.
