"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." |
I feel like we spend our lives trying to find out who we are. This isn't a new concept, I know. But, I didn't realize how central this quest was for me until this month settle down inside of me. I have found myself feeling waves of frustration with my journey and the different forms that it has taken lately. To best understand why this has hit me so hard I think it's important to know the contrast between my life 6 months ago and today. Back in July of last year I was serving at a church in Covington in multiple capacities - worship leader, youth leader, staff member, secretary. I was singing about Jesus constantly between church and touring with Redemption Family. I was spread between visiting with friends and serving my church as much as I could handle. This was my life, the ever-present spinning between all the various components that my 26 year old self had taken on. . . . My life today is quite a different story. |
As I mentioned in the last blog, I have started attending a church in Baton Rouge. There is a deep knowing in my heart that God lead me there for this specific time and place in my life. Though, I don't think I quite understand the whole story yet. You see, I have just left a season of my life where constant and ever-present spinning was my normal. Now, there is a new frustration that has risen up in my chest and it is honestly very hard to combat at times . . . I'm afraid I'm not DOING enough.
