I posted just about 2 weeks ago about how Jacksonville is always a mile marker for me, that is the place I go before life throws me a curve-ball or before I go and mix things up. Maybe deep in my heart I knew that's what was happening when I wrote that blog.
Here I am just a few weeks later, having said goodbye to my job at the church as of Tuesday and looking ahead wondering "WHAT THE CRAP AM I DOING???" I have never been so directionless in my life. But I also don't think I've ever been more certain I am on the right track.
I'm not so naive that I think something is just going to fall in to my lap while I sit here looking at the sky patiently waiting. But I do think in the midst of all of the crazy that is my life, the right thing and I will find each other. "What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?" is a question that has bounced around in my head a lot this past week. The truth is I don't have an answer to what career I want to have, but I do know what I want to be when I grow up. I want to be greater. Greater than who I am right now, greater at loving people, and greater at contributing to the lives I encounter in my journey. I don't know yet what that looks like in career setting, but I have no doubt that I will find it. It might be the next thing I do, it might be the collaboration of all the future things I do.
Pardon my rambling, I've had so many thoughts running around in my head this past week, I think this is more for me than it is for anyone else.
So in the mean time, I'll adjust to post church life - which I'm adjusting to surprisingly well. Did you know people sleep in and go to a thing called "Brunch" on Sundays???? It's a real thing! I did both today and they were glorious!
