i am in the midst of a change.
to quote Piper , i have been "staggered by the supremacy of God." because of that, the filter through which i have viewed life has become clear. clarity can be a dangerous thing.
the issue for me now is what really matters. having seen and experienced His presence in such a life changing way, everything is now brought into question.
why do i do this? why do i have this? is this needed or wanted? can i give this away? how valuable is this time over that time? how much wasted time do i spend in a day? do i need to go here? should i go there? why don't i have money to give this ministry? what if there is no support? when do we proceed? why did it take so long to understand?
as i begin to deal with the process of becoming more lean, mobile, in-tune, ready and prepared, the task is difficult, but one that is well worth the problems it may cause.
once you see Him...everything changes. nothing looks the same. trivial becomes boring.
once you experience Him...you can never go back. typical becomes trivial.
staggered by the supremacy of God.
one more step.
