If you could
name one thing that you absolutely knew would be given, what
would it be? I remember thinking about this when I was two years old. I had a Sunday School teacher who must have been a woman of prayer because I was just at my second birthday when she talked to our little class about Solomon. My father was finishing seminary at one of America's well known institutions, and we were living in an Evangelical Free Church parsonage in Chicago. As the sun was setting Monday evening, I was allowed to go outside by myself because our tiny yard was fenced in. I remember with amazing clarity thinking about the Sunday School lesson and as I sat on the cold cement steps, I made a life decision to ask for wisdom each time there was an opportunity. In childlike fashion, I decided that meant falling stars, pennies thrown into wishing wells and blowing out birthday candles. But it was a life decision. Even in my twenties when I was a foolish, lost, and deeply wretched young woman, I desperately asked for wisdom each time those opportunities came around. As a fifty-three year old Soldier of the Cross, I now understand that I met Wisdom when I was twenty-nine. And still, the only thing I want is Him. Nothing else. |
