In Unity, we know ourselves to be co-creators of our life experiences. Sometime we have a clear vision of what we want that to look like. Sometimes we begin with the end in mind, as a famous book has it. Sometimes we’re able to craft a five year plan, clearly see every detail, and bring it to fruition just exactly as we envision it.

And sometimes we don’t have a clue.

One of the many things I love and respect about our choir members is that they are willing to just begin. They show up, they work to develop their skills, and they trust God for the rest. Songwriters: same thing. Guest artists: same thing. Tech team: same thing. They know that you can put a few words on a page, metaphorically speaking, and build from there.

Does this mean that it’s OK to stumble through life randomly? Or that planning doesn’t matter? Well, no. It just means that you don’t have to wait for an imaginary someday. You can begin now, where you are. If you see yourself singing or playing an instrument or working the sound system or leading prayers or facilitating a book discussion, you can do that now. And you can easily find a lot of friendly people in our church who have already done that, and who will be eager to help you.

Can we all smile, breathe and agree that we can embrace this beautiful little paradox? We create a successful future when we create a successful now.

We can write a mighty new story together. When would you like to start?

 

Many blessings,
