The 2,000-Dollar Blanket

 

I have no clue what time it is right now. I only know two things: I’m on a plane. And that plane is headed to London. The tiny LED screen in front of me says that we have 4 hours and 56 minutes until we reach our destination. Lets hope the little LED screen is right. Hahaha. Wellllll, I will say that this is the best flight I’ve ever been on; Sorry dad. Haha. I can watch any movie I want and even play little video games for free. Yes, for those of you who just asked yourself, its all for free; unless of course you are a pessimist who looks at the glass as half empty. Shame on you. Lol. I mean, you would have to be totally out of your mind to not be positive about life. If I was a pessimist, I could basically say that this blanket (which I definitely got for free), is a 2000-dollar blanket. Do you see what I mean? Crazy… So its like I always say, why worry??? Just ride the wave folks. That’s how I ended up where I’m at right now. The story is long… but I’ve got time… and if the roadies don’t mind, we can take a little time.

            Basically however way you see it, God has set me up perfectly to go on this trip for two years. It was not merely by chance but divine appointment. And I know that He has a lot to show me on this trip. This will be the longest an furthest away from home that I’ve ever been in my life. It’s a lottery of emotions; its scary, exciting, confusing, sad, joyful, incredible, insane, and life changing. But though all of that, I know that this is where I’m supposed to be. This is what I was made for, in this moment. God created me for this, this very thing that I am doing right this second. He also is doing the same for you. It may not be going to Africa or saving the world. But the beauty of it is, is that it doesn’t have to be. You have a part in God’s perfect will. And every second is not only given to us, but every second happens for a reason. Its like a commercial I recently saw on TV; before every moment, there is a moment. And if you believe as I do, you believe that God has a plan for every moment. Our task is to first glorify Him while following His will for our lives. A lot of people I talk to are worried about so many things: “How do I know if what I’m doing with my life is what God wants?”, “I hope that this decision is in God’s will”. The deal is, if you love God, you have accepted His commandments as law, and you have confessed with your heart and believe with your mind that God the father raised Jesus Christ from the dead, you are in God’s will. I believe that we do not under any circumstances surprise God. Lol. I can picture it now. God: “Oh man, I wasn’t planning on Brandon making that stupid decision… hmmmmmm….. oh well!!! Life goes on!! I mean as long as I say it does..” hahaha could you imagine if our God was like that?? Lol. God is big enough to even take our mistakes and use them for His will.

Soooo to bring this back in… I say all of that to tell you one of the biggest lessons that God has taught me in recent years is to stop worrying; to let go, and let God. Its that simple. Let go and let God take care of that job that you need. Let go and let God mend your broken relationships. Let go and let God show you the person He has hand picked for you to spend the rest of your life with. I am living proof that if you let God control your life, He will bless you in ways you couldn’t even think possible. The reason why I am sitting in this chair on this plane is because this is where God would have me to be. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for your time and your prayers and your support. You see, God is using you, just as He is using me. So I thank you for answering the call that God has set before you and just letting Him take the wheel.

We just broke the Newfoundland border and It is now 11: 35 p.m. your local time…

Please continue to think, pray and do.
