Some things have changed...

There is something noteworthy to mention from this week.... I am no longer on staff with Mike Holt as a missionary associate.

After nearly two months of working with Mike, I finally realized that I had not had a peace about it all since I started. This wasn't obvious to me until recently. Even at the point where I was talking with Mike and was deciding to walk away it was not obvious. I fought myself on this for a few weeks now. I didn't want to be leaving because of other drama that had happened. I didn't want to be leaving because it was hard. (or harder than I expected) I wanted to make sure that I was not just giving up. But there has been evidence all along that I did not need to be working with Mike. Now please don't take that as anything remotely negative against Mike, The Seven Project or anyone else working with Mike. Only that this job at this time in my life is not what God wants.

So now I am stepping out blindly into the unknown. For the time being, I am picking up shifts at Joshua Cup. I made a couple of phone calls to see if I would be able to pick up some additional part time jobs to supplement what I am able to get at Joshua Cup. Step one in this new journey is simply to find a way to pay the rent and bills. Step two will be figuring out the bigger picture. (I expect step two won't be dealt with until the first of the year.)

Any other updates at this time seem trivial. I will keep this blog. I may have started it with the intention of updating supporters, but I will continue to share my life through this medium until it does not seem to fit any longer.
