Three Years Later

Lord,
I'm simply in awe of the direction that you have taken my life. Of the things I planned, returning to PC was not one of them. Not because I didn't want to, it just never crossed my mind. I thought I would work for Inter-Tel until You lead me to Russia. Even after I wanted leave, I didn't think I would, at least not until the house sold, and even then I didn't even imagine working for PC. And yet by leading me back, You've given me something I didn't know that I always wanted. I truly don't know what tomorrow will bring. Help me to learn from you and lean on you, everday. Help me to remain in awe of you and to seek your best for my life and others no matter what surprises lie behind each bend in the road. You truly know the desires of my heart far better than I ever will.

I wrote these words just over three years ago when I was hired on at PC (even before my first day on the job). The sincere gratitude and awe in these words is even deeper now than it was then. I am absolutely right where my gracious Lord wants me to be, not just because of the enjoyment and fulfillment I find there, but most importantly because it is where my time and God given talents bring Him the most glory.

He has blessed me and those I love so much in the last three years. Ever bend in the road has been evidence of His faithfulness. I simply could not have asked for (nor deserve) a more abundant life than the one He has so graciously given me. They say that life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. I say that true life is what happens when I'm willing to lay my plans and expectations at His feet. He knows truly does understand the desires of my heart fall better than I ever will.
