On The Move
I am leaving in the morning. Leaving to move to a new area of the country. Leaving with only my belongings that I could pack in my car. Leaving to begin the adventure of starting a youth ministry. Leaving dear family and fun friends.
It all feels so strange. It doesn't seem real.
Can I admit that I am scared? No, that is too personal to admit on the internet; better save that for my own paper bound journal.
I think it is going to be hard. After all, I don't have a place to live or an income. "God, take my hand."
I think that I will make the most of it - I always seem to. The opportunity to reach teenagers is exciting, although it will be a challenge. "God, take my hand, lead me down this path."
There is not much doubt that this is what I am meant to do at this time in my life. At times the thought, "What am I doing?" comes to mind, but I press forward. "God, take my hand, lead me down this path, pour out your grace."
I am leaving in the morning. Leaving for a 10 hour journey to DC to stay with friends. Leaving from there to live and love in the great Northeast.

hey! i'm at blogspot now. just thought you'd want to know. home your move went well.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - the northeast is truly great.
ReplyDeleteGodspeed on your journey - it is certainly no small thing.
I'll be in Boston the weekend of October 29-31 with a few friends - maybe we can bump into you. If you know of a place I can stay, that'd be info to which I would love to be privy. I think a lot of my old buddies from up there have moved on.
Good to know you're there. New England needs more people like you.
