recalibrate

Do you remember when Windows OS was still a new thing and the term "WYSIWYG" was the cool tech-speak? If you don't, it's the acronym for "What You See Is What You Get" and was relevant to the new computerized desktop publishing environments - what you see on the screen is what you get from the printer. For better or worse, I've often seen myself as a WYSIWYG kinda guy... I'm not naturally skilled at hiding things, like my emotions, but I like to think I'm learning more every day (believe it or not).

So, in that vein of WYSIWYG-ness, I wanted to share a journal entry with you that I stumbled upon the other day, read to Christie last night and may share on Sunday morning (so don't steal my thunder just yet).

Here's the entry:

I'm in a season - and have felt it for several weeks - where I sense rushing waters behind me and I'm about to either shred some serious waves or get pummeled under its crashing power... So, I find myself doing some serious soul-searching, or maybe better said, some soul-recalibrating. The thing about recalibrating is that recalibrating doesn't actually change the machine or its original function; recalibrating just makes the necessary adjustments to keep the machine effective and efficient in its original intent and purpose. I'm living my dream and I'm set on my mission, but neither are fully realized yet. So, I recalibrate. I must adjust myself to the things God has revealed to me, to the circumstances in which He has placed me and to what I sense Him impressing on my heart. I'm still me and His Truth and purpose (in me) hasn't changed... I'm just continuing to dial it in... and I don't want to miss this opportunity or His blessing.

Can you relate?
