More Than A Dash

iMove -- Great night last night at 180 -- We had a ton of people and had more participation in making the program work than we ever have before. Tunac Tunac with black lights was really good. Continued to have some consistency with students and some new students. Had a couple of guys that were really struggling with life and had some major things going on that were with us. I spent some time thinking about the point of the message last night -- where your feet are pointed is where you are going to go. Sometimes I do wander how I ended up where I am and then I look down and realize that is exactly where my feet were pointed. That is where my decisions led me. So many times in life I can get in coast mode or in the mode where I think I can handle life and I start making my decisions based on what I want or think is best and then I realize oops I am heading in the wrong direction. Hit me hard again with my kids -- When they wake up at 5:30 AM bouncing, it is really easy to yell at them and tell them to go back to bed or else ... not that I have any idea what - else means, I just hope the fear of the unknown intimidates them, but if I do that I miss out on an opportunity to bond with them, talk to them, influence them in a good way. Sometimes it is easier to hear God when it is quiet -- more on this as we get closer to Sunday (rest). Kids are awesome that operate off of where they are being led that moment not by schedule or calendar, they simply respond to the moment and I need to get out of my rigidness of schedule and what I think is best for me ( I mean them) and simply mold them where they are at. I love my kids, my wife, God, 180, 180 Volunteers, and life -- I just need to learn to enjoy it more and take advantage of more "moments" that God puts in my life.
