I'm still trying to figure it all out, Sarah.<br/><br/>I met with one of my college girls last night and she talked on and on about how much she longed to have something stable and constant in life. I think she'd admire yours. Oh I don’t know if I have a word that’s mine… I’m still trying to figure it all out, Sarah.

Five years ago I was transitioning out of my youth pastor position of 9 years.

Four years ago I moved my family to Calgary, Alberta and began a new stint as a youth pastor.

Three years ago I was a solo lead pastor at the same church because all the staff resigned but me.

Two years ago I hired an associate and youth pastor and got them grounded in their new roles while learning to be a team leader for the first time.

And then I began this year without any cosmic weirdness. A constant. It’s nice.

that’s who I always was before being homebound, too… now my location just makes the emphasis. and that’s ok with me.
