Recently, I was asked about my level of fulfillment in life based on a 10 point scale, 10 the highest.

Without thinking hardly I responded, “9.8!” The only reason it has not hit a 10 is because I believe there is ALWAYS MORE to discover in the journey with God.

The same person asked me how it could be so high on the scale. I shared the following:

 My life is simple. I seek His plan without contest in a daily journey. I don’t have a five year plan and unfulfilled childhood dreams. My heart and mind is not in conflict with God’s will. I desire only His thoughts and ways (Isaiah 55). For my life, it will be His way....or no way.

I don’t go through the drive through asking for the will of God. I get out and go into the presence of God and seek Him first (Matt 6:33). I don’t take the elevator...I take the stairs. Our culture teaches us to “have it your way”, to use the “drive-thru”, and to take the fastest way to the top, “the elevator”.
