Lessons in Providence

As Samantha shared with us yesterday, she’s learned a lot about following Jesus through this process.  So have I.  Elizabeth Kubler-Ross is famous for identifying the five stages of grief.  Over the past six months, I’ve gone through them all: denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance.  Below is a random list of things that God has taught me through this process.

• Seasons of success don’t belong to me.  They are a gift from God.

• I don’t have to be afraid of God’s will.  What is good for Sam will also ultimately be good for us.

• My primary responsibility is to love and support people.  This is more important than directing programs.

• God is an amazing provider of resources, opportunities, and people.

• The most important person in our congregation is Jesus.
