Island Journal: Day 90, give or take a day….

….whoa, life on the “island” is moving along. I’m still lost half the time, but I think things are starting to come together. I confess that I still miss being out on the sea, but I certainly don’t miss the disorientation of not knowing which way to turn.

Pulling away from the island motif, it seems like about every other day, I need a strong reminder that God is with me, that I can trust Him to help me overcome some pretty stiff challenges. Some days I fear failure–like a couple of days ago–but that very morning, through listening to John Ortberg as he talked about Elijiah, I really felt like God said something significant to me. He reminded me to serve. Wow! When we simply serve, we can leave the results up to God. If I obey, then I don’t need to worry about the outcome, at least not get all in a knot about it.

We have a huge project coming up, significant changes in our IT infrastructure. I’m excited! But a little overwhelmed too. Yet God keeps opening the doors, He keeps guiding us and sustaining us.
