Have you ever seen someone do the plate spinning trick? You know, he puts up one pole at a time and gets a plate spinning, and then another, and then another, and then has to run back to the first one to make sure it doesn't fall off, etc. Do you ever have those seasons in life where it feels like you're doing that sort of thing? It seems just when I get something working right, something else goes wrong and as I'm working on that the first thing goes wrong again. That's how life is right now in the Voss family.
Life feels out of control and has felt that way for almost 4 months now. But the question is, is it ever really in control? Balance is a concept God has been working on in my life for quite a while. So, can life be in balance? Why do I have the overwhelming desire for life to be controlled and balanced? I believe it is part of the God-shaped hole in me that will only be satisfied by Him.
For now, I will stop frantically running from one plate to another. I will rest. Be still and Know that I am God. I will trust. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and don't lean on your own understanding. I will wait. Knowing that He is my balance. And I am in his hand. See, I have carved you on the palm of my hand. It doesn't matter if all the plates are spinning. That is not my task. My assignment is to give Him glory in all circumstances. Even when the plates seem to be crashing to the ground around me.
