Disruptions in life

The manse has been vacant for some time. Due to this, other creature's in God's kingdom have made it home. Now, I am not a fan of the huge jumping spider I saw outside by the back door last night. Or the couple that I have seen in the house. I tend to eliminate them (thought I couldn't get my shoe to last night's spider quick enough and therefore it was able to escape). However, once in a while I am surprised by what I find. Last night as I was walking around the manse looking at the flowers that had been planted before my arrival, I spotted a nest. I don't know whether it was a duck nest or a goose nest, but it was clear that it had been made by one of my feathered friends that live in the pond across the street. In the middle of the nest was an egg. It saddened me to see this egg knowing that it's mother would never return to it to keep it warm until it was able to hatch. Why? Because there was a disruption in life. The mother probably thought that this was a good place to go since she never saw anyone around. THEN! All of the sudden, change begins to happen and there is a lot of activity going on all around her. People coming in and out, a huge moving van pulling up with 15 people surrounding it and then a week of two toddlers playing outside in the lawn. She had no choice but to abandon her post as a watchful mother and leave her youngster behind.
I wonder how many times God feels this way. God has made us a cozy little nest for us to rest in. He keeps us warm and waits for us to come out of our shell. Then, just before we fully give ourselves to Him, something happens. Life takes a different turn or we choose to take a different path. Maybe as children and young adults, we fall into the wrong crowd. Maybe we simply choose not to listen to what God is telling us or calling us to do. Either way, there is a disruption in life. HOWEVER, no matter what direction we choose to take, unlike the mother bird, God never abandons his post or leave us behind. At times, it is more like we leave God behind.
Where in your life are you leaving God behind? Choosing to give in to the various disruptions that take place and not focusing on God?
