I have had a lot going on in the past month or so. Much of it has been really great stuff that has involved quality community, new experiences/locations and just a little bit of chaos. With that said, I haven’t had much motivation to write(blog) for some reason…Maybe so much to process I didn’t know where to start.
In the past month I was able to go to a family reunion in Kentucky, celebrate my birthday with the fam, go to Janny’s graduation in Connecticut, walk the streets of Boston, go down to the San Luis Obispo area to spend some time with my family and spend lots of time in contemplation under the cover of our Santa Cruz Redwoods. Here are a few pics:
In the midst of all the travel, I finished up my time teaching science at the local middle school and started in my Staff Pastor position at Mt. Hermon. The jobs overlapped for about a week, which was absolutely nutso, but both employers offered alot of grace. I am now about a month into my position at Mt. Hermon and both Janny and I are embracing/being embraced by some quality community. I will have some more coming on that soon.
For now, while this travel and different work contexts can be exhausting at times, I am finding that these dynamics/settings are some of the most real and rich for me to experience God. I am wired to see God most clearly when I am in the humble posture of a student, which is the posture that is required of me in travel and transition. I want to work through and live out that realization some more…hmmm.
