life as a journeyman


most people go through life never getting hold of their deal. what they do. what God uses them for. most of us settle into life and wish for excitement and adventure. we settle into a routine and calendar and that is where we stay.
learned a few years ago what my deal is.
i am a journeyman.
i will never be famous. never have wealth or connections. i probably will not be recognized as one of those guys who makes it to the top of the latter. never be in great demand for speaking engagements for big events. never will be considered for denominational positions. may write a book one day, but it wont make any kind of list.
not really sure when it happened, but it did. being willing to drop it all and go where ever is not a big deal to us. we do it cause it is what we do.and in my twisted way of thinking, i am sure God trusts me to do it. not that there are not a thousand other guys who would do it better, but He knows when he calls...i answer, PDQ.
the downside is there are no deep roots. my kids suffered a bit from that. we blow into town stay a few years and blow out again. leaving in the wake friends who have changed us and a foundation for others to come and build on.
the expansion of the understanding of God based soley on scripture has been our mantra...have bible, will travel.
so we are off again. not sure where this time. but it really does not matter. it would be cool if we could stay for a while in a place. but it don't matter. when, where, what...what ever. when ever. where ever.
never boring.
always faithful.
never alone.
always willing.
never settling.
always growing.
never satisfied.
always resting.
this is my life.
