Some things about my work have become a bit too pedestrian. Ways that I used to see God’s hand unmistakably at work have recently felt ... (I hate to say the word) ... routine. New project opportunities. Bits of wisdom and advice. Unsolicited moments of encouragement. Advancements and accomplishments of our team. The creativity of our work. Invoices out, income in.

Here are six things I need to do immediately to keep things in perspective:
Perhaps this post is, as my friend Brad told me this week, simply a matter of “confession is good for the soul.” If so, thanks for listening. But just perhaps, you’ve lost your amazement as well. Maybe your perspective has become too commonplace. If so, then I’ll chalk my writing and your reading up to a beautifully God-orchestrated moment that will help restore amazement to both of us.
What do you think?
