Preparation
Be prepared.
That's the motto of the Boy Scouts of America. I used to be in the scouts, a long time ago.
Preparation.
Of vegetables - rinsing, scrubbing, cutting off stems and bad spots, removing seeds and membranes, chopping for use.
The bell peppers we love to use in cooking are not usually the star of the dish. They are a small part of it.
But they are important.
Just ask anyone who hates bell pepper.
If they get a bite of one, it's like me finding that someone snuck sour cream or mayo in something I was looking forward to eating.
I want to be prepared.
I want God to shape me in preparation for whatever He has yet in store for me.
But I don't want to be "prepared" - the shearing, pruning, cleansing process hurts.
And I don't get to be the star of the final offering - that's not my place.
I'm just a part of what He's doing.
And that's a pretty good place to be.
