Our ways/His ways

I just booked a flight from Knoxville to Orlando for 2 men I just hired that are helping me move....our ways are not God's ways. In some ways...this is not going to be the easiest route...and, I am not saving THAT much money...If I used the mover....they pick up my things...I get to spend a few days with my parents...get to Knoxville...they drop everything off and walla...wellaa??? Tadaa??  Anyway...that's that....Instead, I am now going to pick up a Budget truck, drive it to my house, they load, I book a motel and 2 flights back, spend less time with my family, and..oh, and I will now need to take them to the airport. "Are you SURE God, this is what you want me to do?" Isn't it interesting that we are ALWAYS leaning toward looking out for ourselves? Well, maybe YOU aren't...but, I tend to be this way...I am competitive...agressive...don't want to think I got the bad end of the deal...ever....I like things to be easy, smooth...and....I want what works out best for ME! God wants to bless them...that's all I can tell you.....and, it's really not even my job or God's will for me to try to "figure it all out!" I am a little unsettled at the moment..."Well, maybe I should just try to talk the other guy down." No, it's done....I can't be wishy washy...the tickets are now paid for...non refundable....I have no idea what God is up too, and maybe never will...I walk by faith...yoked with Jesus...it's His money....His plan....He is LORD....and HE is so  not like me....He is not selfish...doesn't look out only for Himself...doesn't always take the easy path....is willing to go out of His way.....inconvenience Himself...to show love.........

"Greater love has no man than this...that he lay down his life for his friends...."
