This Winding Road

Been quiet but have lots going on. Vacationing, working, sickness, surgery, healing, reading, learning, saving, spending … turn, turn, turn.

I’m continually amazed at this winding road called life and all the tragedy and blessing along the way. I’m amazed by how people’s lives intersect and change the course of time and history. I’m amazed by how a seemingly insignificant decision made by someone a few years ago is affecting the lives of people today — people all over the world that they don’t even know exist.

Not only do we tend to minimize God down to our own little sphere of such a big world, but we also grossly under-estimate how vast our sphere of influence in that big world actually is.

Ephesians 1:11 - In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will…

Oh, and 25 more days until football season begins. Go Dawgs! UGA

    Allow me to update my initial statement:

    I’m amazed by how seemingly insignificant decisions made by numerous individuals a few years ago are affecting the lives of people today — people all over the world that they don’t even know exist.

    There is so much to this post. This definitely stood out. Like how my actions are affecting someone right now that I may have unintentionally affected. Every waking moment of my life is being emblazoned in the mind of someone out there. No matter how “insignificant”.

    Great point about God existing in our own little sphere too. I have been increasingly guilty of this.
