"So what are you doing next?"
Already I've heard this question numerous times since I've been home from the Race. It's a valid question. After all, in our culture, abiding in times of transition is very unusual. We move quickly from one season to another, which isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes it's good to not have the opportunity to wallow in the down time between seasons.
But other times, God desires for us to abide in periods of transition. And this is the place I am in right now. I have left the Race, and have not yet started on my new journey. It's an awkward, uncomfortable, and frustrating time. I want so badly to be able to pursue my next steps, but I just don't know what they will be yet. I would love nothing more to have news of my next season to share with people. I would love to get excited for what God has for me next.
However, this season is also completely freeing and exciting. I have no clue what I'm doing next, and the world is my oyster. As I'm thinking about my passions, dreams, and interests, I run into the "problem" of having too many. God has blessed me immeasurably with so many gifts and talents, and I know He will guide me as I seek the next steps. For now, I am working hard on drawing nearer to Him, seeking contentment in the season He has me in currently. So bear with me as I process and seek His plan. Pray that my eyes will be opened to the steps the Lord illuminates. Pray for patience as I wait on the Lord. And if you would like, join my new journey at my new blog, The Mouse Who Roars. I look forward to sharing with you what the Lord does in and through me as I continue on the adventure of a life sold out for Christ.
