I just completed a week long intensive on The Missional Church at Ginghamsburg with Mike Slaughter and I am full-to-bursting with ideas. So, I come home to my quiet abode and wonder what now God?
As I am pouring my coffee this morning, my life-partner starts a conversation about his work. This week he flew out east to the home office for a national sales meeting. He too is full of ideas and questions. And we talk.
The conversation blends and suddenly I am recognizing that pattern again; where God takes our lives and weaves them together and we can use each other’s learning and questions to discern our own answers. I am amazed. We have been through so much together. There have been major wars fought in our kitchen and tear filled confessions shared on our couch. We have hurt each other deeper than anyone else ever could and love has grown to heal us.
As I heard from so many all week who work the mission of Ginghamsburg church, we are broken people and we need a Savior. And I am so aware that we also need a partner. God saw this; so Eve was created. Sure we can lead each other down the wrong path, but honestly we don’t need someone else to find that path. Yet, I believe we do need someone to keep us balanced, to help sift the shaft from the grain, to dry the tears and share the joys.
A partner who helps us pattern our thoughts and exam our words, so that we can better articulate our faith and serve as God’s hands and feet. So we can truly hear the Master’s answer when we ask – what now God?
