The way in which we live our lives makes it terribly difficult to “get lost” in Jesus. It takes very little to throw us off track. One misstep or one unexpected kink in the plans and things can spiral out of control.

The American way of life, in particular, simply isn’t conducive to it. I’m frustrated. For me, it’s back to the drawing board. And yet, I sense that the moment I create another “plan,” something is going to happen to thwart it. Maybe, just maybe, God wants me to quit trying to plan things out. Maybe the “plan” is an obstacle to living live through Jesus?
