It was plain to me from the beginning that this teaching (living the
vocation of being single in Jesus Christ) had to be mobile and travel throughout
these fine United States of ours. I had no idea how that was going to
happen-I just knew that it was going to happen. Wasn’t clear on the when part either…
Today I started school to get my
commercial driver’s license. Yes-siree-bob, I’m going to be driving me a big rig! Perhaps
this is why my heck-of-a-great resume didn't even yield me one phone
call. I put out dozens of resumes over that last two years and did not net even one
keeper (though I did get to throw a few back!)
The message of the single vocation is
pretty simple and straightforward. Not a concept that can live solely under one
church roof (or even in one town for that matter.) And what better way for God to
get His message out then Over the Road? I won't go into all the other
reasons this one is so perfect for me on a personal level. Certainly not the
life I would have chosen; yet I'm very excited because this one has God all over it!
In three weeks I will graduate and the week
after will be driving for whoever God chooses. Then Lord, turn me loose!
There’s no end to what God can do! The places we'll go, the people we'll meet,
and the message of the vocation of being single (and the intimacy with God that
brings) will spread. He could have picked a better industry from which to
launch this ministry. Even singles surrounded by friends and family many times
still experience that loneliness when we're by ourselves in the temporal are
not intimately in communion with Christ. How much more so those in such
the isolation that is OTR (over the road) driving?
Please pray for me! I have my permit
test in three days, my CDL licensing in3 weeks. And thus the journey begins. Travel this road with me
together, In Christ Alone.
Amen!
