I had a really stimulating conversation with Joe and Henry today. I learned a lot about myself by just voicing thoughts of my life I have in my head constantly.  When I mean that I learned a lot, I don’t mean it where I have to caps lock it as emphasis. I would describe this level of learning is where I reached a point of realization that I need to stop over-thinking too much.  This is a great downfall that I believe people close to me see quite often.  I always refer to the verse, “If you are faithful in little, you will be faithful with much.” I always tell myself, gotta be faithful with the little things, let’s get the little things done. They get done, day after day, week after week, season after season, so when’s the “much” coming? I don’t think I ever let it come.

I told Henry that I try to be content with little. He listens and challenges me by saying that perhaps I’m afraid to reach for higher or ask for much.  Wow. Focusing on the little and to be almost…deceiving myself that that is all I am able to attain.  I don’t think Jesus spoke those words to get us to be productive on the little things along the way. I think He really meant that there will be a time when much will come.

A simple conversation on a rainy Sunday afternoon in a half-established tea place has challenged so many paradigms I have been living under.  I feel like I have a desire to see my life in a radically different way. I getting more and more, bite by bite as I think and feel it out.  I can only summarize today’s revelation as “a new time has come.” Feel free to ask and discuss this with me anytime.
