Put it in drive

Today is the day I wake up for the first time with an RV in my driveway. We will put all of the things that are most dear to us in their proper place and then drive away. Seems simple enough. Open, load, close, drive. But again, there is a perspective at play here. If we were just going for the weekend or a few weeks there are no emotions except anticipation, happiness, excitement, and joy. Now for me, those emotions are there but there are added ones like nervousness, sadness, and even a little fear.

Whenever we undertake something new there is a moment or even a season of hesitation. That is normal but we can’t let it freeze us in our tracks. In order for the movement to take place, we must get in the truck and put it in drive. As we embark on this journey of ethos we will encounter lots of emotions. Some will be easy and some will be hard. Webster defines ethos as this: “the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution”.

God created you for a journey in life. In the book of Jeremiah, God tells Jeremiah that he was created on purpose for a purpose, to lead the people of Israel. The Apostle Paul tells us to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

We are all influenced by our moral nature and beliefs. What are they? Who do they benefit? Where do they take you?

We are all on a journey, we all have an ethos, and my desire is for you to step out and step into what God has created you for. Start with your character, you can choose both how you treat people and how you do your job. Do a good job.

Get up, put it in drive and enjoy the ride!!

Next stop, the farm… Let’s plant some seeds and see what grows.
