I am a planner. I am good at it. I scheduled many multi-million dollar projects both as a member of a team and as a consultant. So when I take on a project, I plan it. I set deadlines, I list tasks that have to be accomplished, and I make lists of resources that have to be obtained. I am good at it.
God is better.
He tends to think my plans and schedules are humorous. Especially when it is one of His projects I am planning.
The current set of projects is no exception. Proverbs as some things to say about my planning gift. Look at:
So when my first translator does not come through and my fall back plan tells me that they cannot meet the deadline I set. I have to choose to move my deadline or go with no translations. It is still a possibility that the fall back plan will not come through. In that case I have the Bible in that language. I will dictate through the translator what I want the people to know.
Not ideal, not at least from my perspective, but it is not my perspective that matters. Ultimately these are God’s projects for God’s people, I am just the very expendable messenger.
