Sun up time

7/24/2020

I have been getting up early for many months to get my exercise on the campus.  Getting up early enough to beat dawn here means you have to be up by 4:30 in the summer time.  A lazy 5:15 I think in December.  Not being able to go anywhere else means I have got to see quite a few different views in the last...oh who is counting now anyway, four plus months.  

With challenges come opportunities.  With COVID comes lots of both in how we respond, as a mission and personally. 

Taking steps of faith and God providing has been awesome to continue to see.  Working on paperwork now for the coming containers is challenging...but worth my angst at not knowing how almost any of this shipping stuff works.  That and it really being mostly out of my control when any of that happens.  

Spending money where you think it is needed, looking to see what should be done, how, and how to try to be an encouragement is a very interesting challenge.  

I'll admit though...those sunrises are one of many kinds of God calls, gut checks, faith walks.  Not just the beauty and awe of what God does...but how He does it.  

One of the things of my youth, and now, is that erroneous way of being that thinks we can understand God, that things will eventually all make sense, that we will have a handle on things.    

I don't understand quite a bit lately.  People, their opinions, viruses, death, hunger...it's a pretty long list actually.  

That doesn't really bother me though.  God gave us several reminders that He is in control, only He gets the full picture, and instead of trying to plug the gaps and/or invent what we don't understand, we just need to trust in Him.  

Job 42, Isaiah 40 (Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord, or instruct the Lord as his counselor?) and more...all pointing to the fact God is God, and we are not.  

We call it sunrise.  Another language says "sun up time" and then sun down time.  It makes sense. Of course, it is not accurate.  We revolve around the sun, not the other way around.  

Things not making so much sense is a lot easier to process when you have the right perspective.
