I’m casting vision this weekend and there are so many uncertainties it’s unbelievable. Almost feels like one of those Abraham moments in Hebrews 11:8: “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as an inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” That is precisely how I feel.

We’re going to launch at least two locations in the metro DC area in 2010 I just don’t know when or where. In other words, we’re going but I’m not sure where we are going! Yet despite the high levels of uncertainty I feel that peace that passes all understanding. Not an ounce of anxiety. Zero stress. And I honestly cannot explain it other than God is in control. Maybe it’s the whole Union Station situation that happened last fall. Maybe losing that theater increased my threshold for uncertainty? I’m not sure, but I’m so confident. Why? Because God wants us to get where God wants us to go more than we want to get where God wants us to go. And He’s so good at getting us there!

Part of me wants to get up and cast crystal clear vision complete with chronological time lines and topographical maps. But that isn’t where we’re at. I’m actually grateful for all of the uncertainty because nothing draw you to Jesus like uncertainty. We want well laid plans but what often happens is this: we start trusting our plans and stop trusting God. Our plans become our god. I honestly think God has us right where He wants us. We don’t know where we will be but that is right where God wants us!

We’re not seeking new locations. We’re seeking the Lord. And the Lord will reveal when and where in His timing. And until He does, we’re going to trust Him. So like Abraham, I have no idea where we’re going but we’re going.
