I'm sure there are other things I need to be doing, but lately I've been getting that urge to write, so here I am, starting a new blog. This isn't my first. I had one in Indy and one during and after my move out here, but now it's time for a new one. I've been in California for more than a year and a half now, and I'm here now. This is where I live. It's becoming home.
Life is crazy. So many things seem to be happening. Do you ever have that sense that every dimension of your life is developing at the same time, each dimension spinning its own thread, but somehow interweaving itself with all the other threads too? Life is moving, barreling forward in all its incomprehensible direction, without stopping to ask me about it.
Right now, life is friends. Life is work. Life is God. Life is life, and none of these things are independent of one another. It's a story, and I'm really curious as I read, turning the pages with anticipation, excited to see what's next. It feels like something is about to happen, to explode onto the pages with beauty and color and force and strength.
I want this to be God's work. I want him to do something in and through me that will blow me away. I want it to be something I can't possibly take credit for. I hope he can use me to make a difference in people's lives. I want to see people transformed--transformed by an encounter with God, something so personal and individual that brings faith and intimacy and real relationship with God.
One thing that I believe God might be preparing me for is something in the vein of The Crucible Project. Hopefully more on this later.
