Working with the end in mind

“For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does. He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the LORD fills the earth.” Psalm 33:4-5 NLT

Whenever I read used to read one's like these, I thought I knew what they were saying, these were psalms, right? Happy time verse, pure time, I agree time, things like that. I slept when I got to sleep last night, thats all I can say. Sip some coffee, I read and think. I find myself agreeing with this verse because it's in the bible, and because its true. How many things do I read online and tell to other people. But when it's scripture, I keep my mouth shut. I was watching Robin Williams last night, kind of a documentary. One of his friends said that he takes a subject and walks around it like its a campfire and just starts looking at every element of it at every angle, and just never stops, its hysterical. I find it tough to trust everything God does. I believe He holds true, usually at the end, but its tough during the process. I always try to work with the end in mind. It's a phrase my dad taught me many years ago. He learned it, from a book or tape series I think. It's a good concept "Work with the end in mind". That's how I produce every video I do, I know what the final product will look like, or something like that. These blogs? I have no idea what they will end up to look like, I just think them through. Even at work, we work with the end in mind, the room looks a mess in the beginning, and usually we have a plan or idea of whats to come and keep moving with it. It usually changes a long the way once the client arrives. Then its amazing, the next morning when we're about to kick off, how many more additions there are, and changes. Then were done. We all start analyzing if the changes were aggressive or common? Sometimes common and sometimes aggressive, and we figure out how to make things go smoother the next time around, if needed. We learn though, that somethings we can't predict things. We'll have everything set, and the keynote arrives and doesn't want to stay on stage but walk throughout the audience where there is no light. I remember growing up in church AV and being upset about changes. Those days are over, this is how the industry is, get used to it. Hits me, I'm not going to understand the unfailing love of God until the situations over and I look back. Sometimes I get so caught up in making sure I'm trusting God, that I'm not trusting God. I'm stressing about trusting Him. I need to give him editing time. Walk away, give him space, let Him do His thing. I need to quit breathing over his shoulder and telling him how to guide me. I hate when people do that. Don't tell me how to live my christian life! I guess I send a vibe that says I'm clueless about life or I am not performing the right way or something. People are going to be barking at me all the rest of my life in all elements, and I can fixate on what they're saying on or I focus on where God's leading me and live in his unfailing love striving to trust Him all the way especially when I don't feel He's holding true. And when even through that situation, when the show is over, can I see how He worked and is working on me.
