In the last few days, someone shared with me a proverb of sorts that’s been very much on my mind:
“Pray like it’s all up to God, but work like it’s all up to you.”
It’s been a crazy week so far. I’m preparing to go on my annual spring speaking tour, giving a presentation called Christ in the Passover. Kat and I are leaving Saturday morning to travel in Illinois for 2 weeks, then driving down to Texas for a week. The preparations for this have been pretty all-consuming, and I’ve been spending hours on the phone confirming details with the pastors of the churches I’m visiting
That’s all crazy enough, but Kat has been sick for the last 2 weeks with sinusitis and bronchitis. We’ve had her in to see our doctor twice, and she’s scheduled to see him again tomorrow. I’m pretty worried about her, and whether she’s going to be well enough to travel, and if not how we’re going to work that out. And I know I shouldn’t be, because the proverb aside, it is all up to God. I know that, but watching my wife hack and cough and suffer through fever, it’s hard to focus on that.
I’d ask your prayers for Kat’s health and my peace of mind, as well as safety as we travel. I’m going to try and post from the road, if I get a chance and have some time.
