D.R.I.V.E.
Venture: How is God moving us beyond our comfort zone this week?

I find that my mind is usually directed to the future. I tend to forget things pretty quickly, sometimes even in the middle of conversations. So I find that I have to be intentional about being present to the present, participating in what's happening now, present to the Presence of God. Otherwise I miss the moments that are right in front of me.

Thinking about the venture question, How is God moving us beyond our comfort zone this week, has made me realize that my zone of discomfort may be what's happening right in front of me, while my comfort zone has to do with my future orientation.

Moments-yet-to-be-made get in the way of moments-in-the-making.

I resonate with Richard Rohr when he says, "We cannot attain the presence of God. We are already totally in the presence of God. What's absent is awareness."

So I'm trying this week to follow my own advice to ask the question I asked you on Saturday night to ask yourself, "What now, Lord?" And maybe a better question, "What's now, Lord?"

Together with you in this journey,

Gregg
