T.N.T.

Do The Next Thing

"Do it immediately, do it with prayer,
do it reliantly, casting all care.
Do it with reverence, tracing His hand
who placed it before thee
with earnest command.
Stayed on omnipotence, safe
'neath His wing,
leave all resultings,
do the next thing."


I first heard this from the lovely Elisabeth Elliot at a conference in Reno, Nevada. This poem is written about an old Saxon legend. During this season of hustle and bustle, we can all feel overwhelmed. When you don't know what to do next... take the T.N.T. out of your pocket, and blow stress away. Just do the next thing. One step at a time.

With you sister,
Alis
