Andrew

Seems that Jesus called four fishermen all at the same time.  Peter and Andrew were brothers as were John and James.  The first four called.  They dropped everything to follow Jesus.  Later,  Jesus raises Jairus' daughter with Peter, James and John called in.  At the Transfiguration, the same three for that special event.  What happened to poor Andrew?  Did he get dumped?  Who knows.  Anyway, he could have complained, dropped out, gotten resentful, been disfunctional in the group.  Or he could surrender to whatever God's plan might be for him.  Seems Andrew stayed with the program even though he was no longer included with his brother and friends from the other fishing boat.  When you feel ignored, slighted, not included, relationships change, what do you do?  Don't we say, "Thy will be done" in the Lord's Prayer? I believe that God has a plan for me.  It just may not be my plan.
