The last two years have felt like a roller-coaster ride with only a few moments to catch my breath.  It’s been breathtaking, literally.  Nothing short of a thrill ride.  Praise God.

God has positioned us in amazing ways.  We acquired our 7th location–a theater right in the heart of Capitol Hill on Barracks Row.   And two blocks away, we purchased what we call “the last piece of property on Capitol Hill.”  It has potential written all over it. It’s right at the intersection of Capitol Hill, the Navy Yard, and Riverfront communities.  And we’ve got an entire block of frontage to the expressway that runs through DC.  Unbelievable visibility and accessibility.

Having said that, I have less and less clarity but more and more peace. I know God is blessing us. I know God is positioning us. But it feels like all of this is out of our league.  But the big lesson I’m learning right now is to savor the uncertainty.  God gives clarity when we need it–not before, not after.  In the meantime, we need to keep the peace.  How?  In all things by prayer and petition.  It’s prayer that then turns into a peace that passes all understanding that guards our uncertain hearts and unclear minds.

No clarity doesn’t have to mean no peace. You just have to lean into God a little more.  And that’s a good thing, a God thing.  So the lack of clarity is a gift.
