Funny how just a few months changes things so drastically.

I just went back and re-read the first entry of this blog. As I wrote that, I had no idea that untangling myself from First Christian would prove....impossible. While I don't worship there on the weekends (and on the two times I have been there since that entry was written, my decision was only further reinforced), for the past 5 months I've been employed there.

Yes, I know. I did just say that. In the words of one of my closest friends, one who more than understands the whole thing, "Wait, you're working at THAT church?!"

Things there seem to finally be coming to a fork in the road, and I feel that in all He is teaching me, God is leading me the way that my heart has longed for since before I ever started the job. I may not know what job, or even what kind of job I will be working in next, but I'm really learning a sense of the things that I can no longer compromise on. I'm going to compiling a list as I pray, study, and think, and hopefully I can publish that on here soon.

This past week has been so refreshing as I once again getting a glimpse of the big picture, catching more of the vision...which had been sorely missing for the past few months. Things seem (emphasis on "seem")to keep staying the same in regards to the little pieces of the big picture, but I can see how big picture (or as someone defined it last night (Jen?), my worldview) is setting the stage for the smaller components, like job, location, relationships, money, etc.

To bed I go for now, but I actually started writing this blog to talk about the house church, but that hasn't happened yet!
