It's been one of those weeks where Jesus has been in charge of my schedule.
From last Tuesday to last night--essentially, in the week that I've been back in New Haven and not traveling anymore--I had several unplanned and unexpected conversations with my close friends at YDS. God is definitely doing some serious work here!
At the end of the semester, when everything is due, one does not expect to find oneself immersed in heart-to-hearts about relationships, sex, power, Pentecostalism, speaking in tongues, fighting the devil, praying in the spirit, calling, pastoring, the role of Scripture for academic people, what to do when God stops speaking to you, family dynamics, trauma, or rape. But I've had them all.
And somehow, my work is still going to get done.
As the Country song goes: Jesus, take the wheel!
