[Finally.Coming.Clean]
Nearly three years since my last post here, this one will be my last. Life has once again change somewhat dramatically. I'm still amazed (while I shouldn't be) at how God continues to bring about curves in the journey with Him - moving me beyond the places I'd even think I'd be.
I spent some time today reading back through the posts here - something that has become somewhat of a ritual for me about this time of year.
We're in a whole new place - both physically and spiritually. I'm realizing more and more that there really is little distinction between those two - that where I am and what I do is so intermeshed with who I am with God.
We're in our fourth city and fourth state since the journey I've chronicled here began right about five years ago. There are so many times that I look at my wife and we say to each other, "Can you believe how life has changed in those five years?!"
I'm working completely away from the 'church' in its formal sense. The Internet work that allowed me to move outside of professional ministry has now become my livelihood and God has given me opportunities to impact others on a much larger scale through this venue than I feel I ever would have had working in a church.
We're still committed to community and to seeing the true sense of who the Church is lived out in our lives. We've begun meeting with another couple and plan to allow God to open our home and lives as He has done continually over the last five years.
On top of everything I'm ready to come clean. After five years of anonymous blogging here, I feel the time has come to step out from the shadow. The distance is great enough that there shouldn't be as much misunderstanding with those who were a part of our lives in the beginning, and my hope is still that my struggles, the ebb & flow, and God's faithfulness as the true constant will continue to encourage others who are going through the same.
If you're here for the first time you should read through the journey starting at the beginning. Click here to go back to where it all began.
If you found this place, and especially if God used it to encourage you in some way, please let me know. You can contact me and continue to read my journey on my main blog at chrisediger.com. I invite you to continue the journey with me there.
