After a weekend filled with bliss (except for being freezing whilst sleeping) in God's divine creation, I am back in the city and realizing something profound. I am in a MUCH better place in my life when I get to spend time in creation. I feel better, I think better, I act better, I am closer to God. So much better. Ahhh.
Today, we had our first call to ministry meeting of the year. Basically, this is a fancy, pastoral way of saying 'the finding a job process'. It was scary and overwhelming, but we'll see. I'm not really sure what sort of place God has for me...for us. I do, however, know there is a place for me somewhere in this ministry world. And for today, that is enough.
I know I work better in a team. I know I work well with men (don't ask me, I just know it is true). I know that I am not a huge fan of the city. I know that I am willing to live anywhere overseas, Alaska, whatever. I'm not so convinced about the southern US. I need cold. I know I love ministering to families. I know I cannot be primarily a youth minister or music minister. I know I like teaching...and surprisingly, preaching isn't so bad. I love small group ministry. I love empowering others.
So we'll see...right?

My thoughts as I attempt to figure out my own life journey in the midst of trying to follow the Creator of that life.

I'm one who also gets renewed in creation. And I'm realizing I need more than just outings to the parks around here. We weren't able to do camping this summer--with new job and no income and all (all meaning not sure if we're up to camping with Nils yet). But we're hoping to get up north in a few weeks. Bryan was down here this weekend, so we've got a place to bunk for the night at least.
