A few months ago, the marquis outside of my church read, “My way is the Highway – God.” I loved that sign. His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. As the school year winds down, I have a lot of responsibilities for end-of-the-year activities. Yesterday, a friend tried to help me and to recruit others to help me with my tasks, but I quickly asked him to just let me do it my way. As I was thinking about that conversation, it hit me like a ton of bricks: this must be what God is saying when I try to take over and help Him out with my Life. I like to do things my way. I am a pretty efficient person and I do not like to waste time or to have to explain why I am doing something the way I am doing it. Clearly, if I approach an assignment in a certain manner, it is because I have determined the best way to do it. (At this moment, I hear a spiritual, “DUH!”).
Talk about made in His image. I feel the same way about people stepping on my toes as God feels about me trying to step on His. I know how to delegate and I know that I cannot make it through this life without the help of others. That is not what I am getting at here. What I am saying is that when I devise a plan that is what is best, I would like for other people to follow it or get out of the way. That is what God wants us to do. He knows what is best and he does NOT need our help. So, when I make it to Heaven, I don’t want to sound like Sinatra, and say, “I did it my way!” I want God to be able to say, “Although, it took her a while to figure it out, she did it MY way.” Ms. EV
