"Sometimes God opens the door for us; and we ruin it because one little thing gets in our way, one little fly in the ointment, one little regulation, one little problem that we don't see how we can possibly overcome.
And leadership that is effective is leadership that knows when God opens the door for you, you go through that door. And if you know the door is open, and God has opened that door, then your responsibility is to deal with each of those tiny little problems that get in the way.
And when you do that, you're going to find that God opens doors for us to go through and not for us to argue about how difficult it is to go through the door."
~ Woodrow Kroll
The above quote is from a radio program I listened to yesterday morning as I was waiting in the car for Mom and Ana who were in the post office. It really stuck out to me since we've been praying for the past couple months about attending the Sempor Reformanda conference in October. The Lord has provided house sitters and even kind friends who offered us a place to stay near the conference. We are so thankful! But now we are up to "one little thing in our way". Somehow it doesn't seem so little, but are we making the difficulty bigger in our mind than God?
"Lean not on your own understanding...He will direct your paths."
