Life in the Sweet Spot

I have been doing a lot of searching and praying recently. What does God have in store for me? What is it that He wants me to do? I am in this unique position that I can quite possibly shape and mold my ideal job.

The search process sucks because most of the people I have talked to seem to think that since I don’t have the exact experience of being a Sr. Minister that I am not able to effectively be one. I happen to think they are wrong, but at the same time I know that God is working and doing His thing and will open the right door in time. This is the one thing that continues to give me hope and the one prayer that I have prayed since the first day of my search, that God would open the doors I should look at and completely close the doors I shouldn’t. The good thing my dismissal has allowed me is to speak openly and freely about this now.

I have two more days left in the office. The office is mostly bare, Eskai is going to help me pack up my delicates tomorrow and then John and I will move them and my couch home on Friday or Saturday. Next week will be really strange, like I’m on vacation, but not. I will definitely use these next couple of weeks for projects around the house, writing and contemplating, enjoying my family and waiting to hear from God. The loss of income scares me but the freedom to search and be ready for what God has in store for us is worth it.
