“If you get mad, then you can get glad.”
Simple, infuriating, truth filled words my Daddy says to me all the time. Its a choice. How you feel is almost always a choice you get to make.
Rewind to four days ago, an innocent “breakfast” with a “friend” turned into everything I never wanted to happen on the race.
“Mary, you have a lot of influence and blah blah blah…”
Oh no no no no no I think I know where this is going.
“We have prayed about it and we think God is calling you into a season of leadership.”
NO. Absolutely not. I will not and you cannot make me!
“Okay, so I’m gonna give you today to pray about it and you have a Skype call with Sam at 3.”
No! Are you kidding me? God. Hello dude! What in the Sam Hill are you doing? I’m having a blast down here on my team! I LOVE my team. Theres no drama, theres no heaviness, they’re fun, God I’m having fun! I am SO comfortable where I’m at.
Oh…oh I get it.
I’m…I’m comfortable.
Ok. Alright. I was mad. I guess now I’ll get glad.
God thank you for this opportunity for growth so close to the end of this race. Thank you for making me realize the error in my thought process, and in the end pointing it all back to you. Thank you for my old team and the things I learned from them and the joy they brought me. Thank you for my new team and the things you’ll teach me through them and the joy you’ll bring here as well.
Thank you for your never ending, unfailing grace and mercy.
Please be praying for us as we come to the close of this incredible journey. Pray that we press in hard and drain every ounce God has for us right now. Pray that we look up seeking more, and not down feeling satisfied with where we’ve already been.
