Isaiah 43:19 King James Version (KJV)
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Today I had a few new experiences. One was that I saw some interesting soybean fields as I traveled to meet my parents in the country. There were some fields that had nice soybean fields with no cornstalks in them, some with obvious stalks and others with brown cornstalks. Different seeds were planted in each field and I read the signs that were in each field. Very different variety of seed brands. I wondered who was the best and which ones were different year to year.
Then I went shooting. I was not planning on hitting targets but I guess the inside of me really wanted to. This made me think of some new opportunities that have opened up at church to work with the children's ministry. I wonder if it is part of God's plan or I am biting off more than I can chew. I think of the youth I will get to help along side of them and how I can impact children that might of been written off by others or not understood. I have to get over my feelings in anger toward the person who took me off another ministry because my chronological age was not a good image for their ministry. Maybe this is another one of those situations where I shoot a lot of bad bullets like I did this morning but maybe by taking the step of faith just like I did this morning with the 22 I can hit a new target. Lord help me know the right decision.
I know right now sitting around angry about what is happening to me will do no good. I like to be busy. Since I was nervous about shooting I found I really liked putting in the bullets for the 22 for my dad and me. He even got a kick out of it. Too bad he only has three reserves. I could do a serious filling in front of the TV if he would be willing to stop by. This Sunday I will try something new. It may work and it may not. Second I might have to try something else if it does not just like the farmer tries various seeds of soybeans as he rotates corn and soybeans every year. Eventually something will fit.
