Distractions/chipmunks
August 6, 2018
Yesterday I was contemplating a big decision, an opportunity I wish to grab, but need wisdom regarding it. I focused on research, what would the benefits and costs be? I reached out to my mentors and talked and listened. What was their recommendation? And then a chipmunk darted across my living room floor!
Do I really need this, I inwardly whined? I’ve got important grappling to do. Yet I chased, closed doors, scrapped yard sticks under furniture, and opened doors to the hot muggy air. Eventual success. He ran out onto the patio.
I remembered Jesus words in Luke 12 and Matthew 10. God remembers every sparrow so He’s mindful of chipmunks. He knows every hair on our heads. The lowly chipmunk reminded me that this big decision is in His hands.
