Is It Supposed To Be This Hard?

This ride we’re doing has me wondering: what if it’s not as complicated as we make it?

What if God doesn’t mean for life to be all about frustration and fear? What if He wants calm and peace?

We’re trying to get down the road and talk to folks about hope. And everything we’re focused on involves something other than what we’re here for. We’re fussing with maps and meals and hotels and packing and everything except riding and talking about hope.

As I rode today I asked myself, “What if God meant it to be simpler?”

And I laughed at myself, because of course He did.

I thought about God’s idea at creation, the garden, and the simple plan He outlined. That’s what He intended.

The complications were our idea. We messed it up.

If we want to follow God’s plan, we might want to begin by considering His original design. Maybe we ought to try doing it His way.
