Well, well. It appears that my discipline of blogging stalled for the past several months. Good thing I believe in second (and third, and fourth, etc...) chances. ;-)
Much has happened over the past 8 months since I last posted anything here. Amy and I celebrated our 10th anniversary just a few weeks ago on July 31, which was also the day before we moved to Alexandria, VA. I began classes at VTS this past week. This has been a very interesting time in our life together as a family as well as my own inner journey.
One of the advantages of living in NoVA is that there are so many things to do and see in this area. This afternoon we took the boys across the river to DC to the Air and Space Museum. We travelled by Metro and it was great to be with Jonathan, Micah and Elijah, as it was their first time on the Metro. Honestly, I think they enjoyed the journey to the museum more than the museum itself. This got me thinking, with all the changes taking place around me, how will I react to the journey set before me? I can tell you already that it is tempting to duck my head down and do everything possibly to simply "get through" these next couple of years with the end goal being ordination. However, I don't think that is the goal at THIS moment. Instead of thinking too much about what will come and what may or may not be, I am called first and foremost to live fully in this present moment - to make the most of life as I find myself on the journey.
I think this is something that we are all called to do. Instead of living for our future goals (which I DO believe we should set), we are called to live life as best we can in this moment, the present. If we do that, the journey can be as exciting and fulfilling as our destination.
