Living on Mission – The Great Gentleness Experiment

Living on Mission – The Great Gentleness Experiment

Guess what I chose to do for the Great Gentleness Experiment? You’ll never guess, so I’ll tell you. I’m driving for 12 hours. *Insert gigantic cheesy grin here* (If you have never met me, you might not know that I once declared – while preaching – that I sometimes wish I had a torpedo launcher on the front of my vehicle because I have zero patience for people while driving. I'm a work in progress.)

My family is going on vacation for Christmas and we are driving 2 cars from southeast Missouri all the way to Plano, Texas in one day. Yes, MapQuest says it’s 9 hours, but we are travelling with children, so you know it will be more than that. Plus, people have to have “rest stops” and gasoline and snacks and bathroom breaks and meals and stuff. So, yeah. I will be doing a Gentleness Trial by Fire. 

I’m actually looking forward to it. Why? Because I am painfully aware that I cannot be gentle on my own, BUT I know the Gentle One, and I if I hang in there super close to Him, I can be gentle like He is.

Oh! Then a week later I’ll be doing it all over again! (PRAY FOR ME!!!)

Let’s ALL practice Living on Mission and being gentle by staying close to the Gentle One.
