Ready or Not, Here I Come

Book Cover & Preview Text
Most of us know this very familiar phrase from our childhood. What kid has not played “hide and seek” with a friend or a relative? Or played it with a group of other kids at a picnic or family gathering. One person, who is “it” hides their eyes and counts to a hundred then attempts to find those who have hidden themselves. The goal of those hiding is not to be found, which means locating a secure place where the one looking will not find them. I guess that those ones would be described as, “ready.”
But remember the ones who were not able to find a good hiding place before the seeker started looking for the hidden ones? If you were standing out in the open somewhere, unable to find a good hiding place, then I suppose that you could accurately be described as, “not ready.” When the seeker loudly called out, “Ready or not, here I come,” and you were not ready, a wave of panic and fear would sweep over you as you desperately searched for a last minute hiding place. But to no avail, you were almost immediately caught. However, the ones with a good secure hiding place had confidence. They knew that they were safe.
Isn’t it amazing how, as children playing this game, we learned to experience these emotions of either confidence and safety, or panic and fear. However, this familiar phrase, “Ready or not here I come,” does not really stop at childhood. It’s as if this kid’s game somehow prepares us for our adulthood when the application of this phrase repeats itself many times over in different situations of our lives. Events in our lives that have an absolute impending starting point that is unchangeable. You know the ones that are described as, “Not if, but when.” And most often, unlike the hide and seek game where we know the search is going to start soon, events that are coming “ready or not” do not always give the present appearance or slightest hint that anything is going to happen at all. We have to get prepared based solely on warnings or advice given ahead of time.
