T-minus six days till GodiPod.com goes live.

Craziness :)

If I had to describe what it feels like in one word it'd be chaos. But I don't mean that in the negative sense. I think one of the most profound passages in Scripture is Genesis 1:2: "The earth was formless and void and the Spirit of God was hovering over the chaos."

In my experience, the Holy Spirit hovers over chaos.

If we try to resolve the chaos ourselves the knot gets even more tangled. But if we give God room to work, He untangles the worst knots and brings order out of the chaotic situations in our lives.

Whenever I read Genesis 1:2, I envision the Spirit of God hovering over creation. That picture is a microcosm. He's hovering over your marriage. He's hovering over your children. He's hovering over your hurts. He's hovering over your dreams. He's hovering over your chaos. He wants to bring order out of all of the above.

I feel like God is hovering over GodiPod.com.

It's the best description I can give of the way I feel right now.

At times, GodiPod.com seems "formless and void." I don't know anybody who steps out in faith who doesn't second-guess or triple-guess or quadruple-guess. But God is the one who began this good work. And He's the one who will carry it to completion. The Holy Spirit will bring order out of chaos just like He did in Genesis 1:2. All He has to do is say, "Let there be GodiPod.com."

One last thought.

The Holy Spirit must really hover over my kid's rooms :) Talk about chaos :)
