Launch Lunch

June 5, 2022

There aren’t even words to express what I am feeling right now. The thoughts that are running through my head. But I am thankful. Beyond thankful to see this new day. To see you move, to see your love and to know you even better. I should feel completely tired but I’m not, though there is the slightest headache, but considering that it was after 11:00 when I dropped the youths home, that’s to be expected. 

I’m excited! Are you excited too? Today is the launch/lunch. And if anyone says that a small thing doesn’t make a difference, I can tell them they are lying. 

Launch: start or set in motion.

Lunch: a meal eaten in the middle of the day. 

One tiny letter “a” and the meanings have totally changed. You often hear stories of one small change/difference that ended up with massive repercussions.  A building that used the wrong size steel beam – only smaller by one inch but that one inch multiplied throughout the building then undermines the structural integrity of the whole. 

Yahweh, I pray that as I move forward that I will keep my eyes fixed on you. That I will continue to trust you beyond what I can see and to recognize when you want a launch versus a lunch or when you desire both. Thank you for your grace and favor in my life. Thank you for family, friends and this community in solitude. It still sounds weird saying that, but that’s exactly what it is. And I pray for this community. That they would prosper and be in good health. That they would (why am I saying they?!! Smh). That we would seek you intentionally and honour you in everything we do. 

In the skit yesterday, one of the major points was that being ready for your return isn’t just about knowing your word or about preaching, but that our hearts need to always be ready. Always in communication with you. So that while reading a book, you are there. While driving, you are there. Thank you for always being here for us. Thank you for your promises, for sustaining us and keeping us. Today is your day (well everyday is your day, but you do know what I mean) and I pray that I will keep trusting you. You are my God, my King, my friend, my everything. I love you. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. To worship you I live, to worship you I live, I live to worship you.
