Renee puts a pretty good introduction to this song. She said as Butch (the original artist) wrote this to remind himself of what was truly important to him when he needed to remember. As I do my reflection for today, I thought of coming to this one. I just came from serving at the Calgary Couple Coordinators training and I thought about how this song was structured. I could just picture Butch and Renee singing this and praying to God on how they needed to know what God has intended for them to do. In part, this is also what I would like to be reminded of.This year, I think, is becoming a truly defining one. It, in a sense, is like those coming of age stories we see/read/hear a lot about. We have this uncommon hero, a child. He doesn’t know what to do but still he keeps moving. As the song keeps going, it continues to talk about how he keeps moving along but still needs help along the way. The hero is motivated by some unseen promise that everything will be fine in the end. I think this song, for Butch, is like moving along in his life – getting married and starting his own family while continuing serving God through his ministry.
Like Butch and Renee, I find myself at a different point in my life. It’s like trying to choose whether you’re good enough to go to Level 3 when you’ve only been in Level 2 for a short time. Should I learn this new magic or be safe and buy new armour instead? Should I completely move on to SFC or should I stay for a bit more and serve with the Youth? It’s these kinds of times that we are really called to pray to God and ask Him what His plans are for us. We are called to pray about our mission, our vocation.
Truth Is: When we get confused, sometimes, we think too much that we feel that our heads are on the verge of exploding into a million pieces. We ask ourselves but no answer comes. If, however, we ask God for an answer and we surrender it to Him, we find something that even we, can’t even believe how simple that answer was. If you keep thinking about it, you’ll get nothing. If you let God think about it, you’ll find something. All we need to do is TRUST HIM that we follow the road that he leads us to take.
