Fortune Cookies

Posted on January 14, 2009 12:00 AM MST by Sara and Tiffany

Whew! What a whirlwind 24 hours. There are few things better in life than celebrating something exciting. Few things better than hanging out with a good friend who shares your heart and passion. Yesterday Tiffany and I got to do both! Tiffany flew into Denver so we could finalize an exciting development with our Falcon Flight Series. (Sorry, we aren’t at liberty to discuss details until next week.) In addition to getting some work done, we got to hang out and chat. To share our hearts and the passion that has united us on this amazing writing journey. After a great meeting, we went out to celebrate over Thai tea and pad Thai. (We had no idea that Thai tea can turn your tongue orange! For some reason we thought it was hilarious. Not so sure the people sitting around us agreed.) Anyway, we ended our celebration with fortune cookies that told us absolutely nothing about our future … that told us absolutely nothing about anything. Then we had to start celebrating all over again!

We celebrated the fact that our dreams are not in the hands of fate or fortune, but that they rest in God’s hands and he holds them tenderly. We celebrated God’s faithfulness and provision, the fact that he will accomplish his perfect plan despite our weaknesses and failings, despite our inadequacies. We celebrated the fact that God is guiding us and equipping us with the experiences and lessons we need to learn in order to tell stories that point people to hope and love and faith in him.

What an incredible blessing to see him at work in our lives, in our dreams. To know that we can trust him with what is most dear to us, with what we hold closest to our hearts.

What are you celebrating today?
