Ok. Here is my goal for myself now that I am done with college and have a little break before the real world smacks me in the face: to read thought-provoking books and to update my blog at least twice a week with the thoughts that have been provoked by these books. Hopefully by getting into this rhythm now it will be easier for me to take 10 minutes and update while I'm at camp. Here it goes.
My life over the past week has had a few life-changing events in them. First, I graduated from college. Which is very exciting and very terrifying at the same time. It was hard saying goodbye to the life I have known for the past four years and to the best friends I made over those years. But, it happened. I packed up four years (and three cars) full of memories and moved back home (temporarily). I am glad to have a little break from school and a job before I start camp in a month.
However, my nerves about what is happening after camp are more real now than ever. My motto for the past year has been"Let go and let God" (cheesy, I know). However this motto is a stepping stone for me. For those of you who know me you know that I like to have control of everything (which is one of my flaws). So not knowing what's coming next has been a big challenge for me. I know that I will be working camp this summer, but after that, I had no idea. However, when I finally stopped stressing about it, windows began to open up. I got word that there was a church in Danville (where I want to live) that had an open position as Director of Christian Education. I have applied for this job and will probably go for an interview in the next couple of weeks. After that, I'll just have to "Let go and let God."
So, that's my life in a nutshell. I am beginning to read "The Ragamuffin Gospel" by Brent Manning. Look for my thoughts on this book in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for reading.
