So often we wait for clarity, for God to dramatically intervene, pointing us toward the one true call of our lives. And then we are dismayed by the silence that meets us, the heavenly chuckle, the suggestion that to follow Christ you must follow Christ wherever and whenever He leads you –even if the path is a winding one and the destination unclear.

We want a clean intervention where only a messy and sometimes slow coming conversion awaits. We want to get to it, to get on with our good works, when sometimes we’re asked to wait, and to trust, and to simple abide in God.
