My Life Looks Nothing Like I Thought It Would
Me: "My life looks nothing like I thought it would."
God: "Your plans were boring, far too easy. Let's do this other thing, too."
He rubs His hands together.
I look at His hands and grow nervous and then look up at His face.
Our eyes meet.
He sees my hesitation, seems taken aback.
God: "It sounds fun to you, right?"
I look down and consider. My heart swells with joy and excitement, my cheeks flush, my pulse quickens...
I look up.
His gaze comes up from where it had been for a moment, on my heart, and He smiles at me knowingly.
I smile back.
Me: "But it's crazy. It's so far beyond me that it'll be impossible without you..."
God: "Exactly."
Then I see His hands reach out to go to work.
