[Where.Am.I?]
Not sure exactly how I wound up here again tonight of all nights. I actually sat down to try and get some writing done on a project and wound up wasting time browsing around on the Net. Checked out some of my old fav blogs, sites, etc. to see where everyone else was. The truth is I couldn't really read much. Mixed emotions about the whole thing. Especially over the fact that the Emergent Convention was here in Nashville, our new home, just last week - something I had totally forgotten about.
Where am I? I'd ask 'Who' - which is an equally important question - but 'Where' seems more relevant right now. Since I last posted anything here (last September) we have moved again, I have changed jobs again, we are in a totally different church environment again, and the changes keep coming... Been doing a lot of reflecting the past couple of weeks. I think it is because I realized it had been a year since we left Kansas and our church life as full-time paid ministers. Life is definitely different than it was just a year ago. And yet I find that the journey really hasn't changed that much. The surroundings look different, but the journey is the same as it was before.
Not sure if I am anywhere closer to knowing anything I was searching for then. Sometimes I feel like I have copped out in getting back into more of a traditional church ('traditional' in structure, that is) and working for a major Christian publishing house as an Internet producer. I think to myself that I've given in to "the Man" in a sense, even though I know it is completely false. God was saturated in every detail of this move in our journeys with Him. He knew what would be best for us and what we needed at this time.
I'm completely happy with my new environment - albeit still a little weary from the double-move in one year and having to plant roots once again. I feel blessed to be doing what I am doing now, working with the people I am working with. I am enjoying my new surroundings - including our more traditional church. Just not sure how this piece fits into the grand puzzle. We'll see what God has in store.
