How far we've come


Robyn and I met at Southside Christian School in Greenville, South Carolina the year that my Dad came there to take over as school administrator. This picture was taken around the summer of 1976, near Destin, FL.

Isn't amazing as we look back at the journey that God guides us through in life. How many choices would we have made differently without his leading and direction. Where might we have ended up? What opportunities would we have forfeited.

I have a teacher who reminds me that the average IQ is in the 110 - 130. Einsteins range in the 180's. Oh, and God, what do you think 35,000,000,000,000,000+? Yet how many times do we think we know so much better than God.

When this picture was taken I thought I knew it all. I knew where my life needed to go. What I needed to do. How many times have I tried to convince God that I knew better? Maybe it's time I pause one more time and say, "Thank you God for leading me in your paths, not mine." How about you?

One week from today we fly from Norfolk heading toward Malaysia!
