BMW motorcycles & being here now

I enjoy synchronistic moments like the one I’m about to relate to you, and my life is full of them. My neighbor loaned me his DVD copy of Long Way Round, the incredible story of Ewan McGregor’s and Charlie Boorman’s trip around the world on a pair of BMW motorcycles. Being a motorcycle enthusiast myself, I’m enjoying the DVD and have watched half of the 5 one-hour episodes already. During the fourth episode, while they are riding through Kazakhstan, Ewan says:

“I feel like I absolutely belong in this moment now. It’s where I should be, and luckily it’s where I find myself! (laughs)”
Beautiful words! That’s how I’m feeling these days. This morning as I was reading Chambers, he says:
“We must never put our dreams of success as God’s purpose for us; his purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; he is not… his end is the process—that I see him walking on the waves, no shore in sight, no success, no goal, just the absolute certainty that it is alright…”.
Same idea in different words. Like U2 sings“Beautiful Day”, “what you don’t have you don’t need it now!” Yup! I feel that’s very true for me right now. I feel I belong here. I should be here. And, fortunately, I find myself here. And I encourage my church towards the same sentiment.
