Over the last few weeks, a new work assignment has thrown my life into relatively minor chaos, but chaos none the less. It has been enough to give me pause on my internal sense of calm. The assignment will last for 12 weeks, so rather than wrestle with it, I asked God to join me. Picture that conversation for a minute... your cell phone rings, it's Jesus on the the other end and after exchanging pleasantries with your ultimate BFF, you say "Hey, do you want to join me as I am totally discombobulated, off balance and generally grumpy?" Instead of silence on the other end, He says, "Absolutely! Be right there."

So each morning that I hop in the car and head off to work this gig, I am accompanied by the God of the universe. As the song says, "He walks with me and He talks with me along life's narrow way" and He keeps the conversation going all day.

Whatever we're challenged with this week, let's pick up the phone, get Jesus on the line and invite Him to come and join us in the midst of the chaos.

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me-- watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace... Matthew 11:28 (the Message)
