I'm in one of those periods in my life where I have no idea what is going to happen next. I don't seem to be in much of a "career track"--I'm too much of a grasshopper for that. And I feel the bonds tying me to certain roles or communities loosening. Of course, it gets pretty scary when this happens. I have no idea what is going to happen next or where I'll get my next paycheck. But, this is also when God can be Her most creative in my life--when I have so few expectations, requirements or restrictions on who I think I am or what I think I should be doing.
The nice thing about times like these is that it keeps life interesting. I don't get stuck in one particular track--I don't get bored. This is a time when God can put new people and new trajectories into my life. I can count on something new and interesting happening. The downside of times like these is that they are terrifying! Sometimes it seems like I can either be terrified and interested, or safe and bored.
It seems to me that I am at a real crossroads at the moment. I don't have a particular sense of closeness to God right now. But, I do have a strong sense that God is moving in powerful ways in my life right now. Interesting, it seems He is moving more strongly than even some of those times when I have felt God's presence most keenly. God is infinitely creative and creating. Praise be to God!
