The Unexpected

Life has taken an unexpected turn. When I started this blog last last year I had a whole different plan, mind set, goal, job, house, frame of mind. Its amazing that a few months absolutely everything can change. Some of this change has been for the better, some for the worse and a lot just for the.... different. As one one of my professors taught us (talking about adjusting to culture shock on the mission field) keep reminding your self its not bad or weird... its just different.

Okay... here is what is different

The big changes in my life started occuring last August with some oganizational changes at my work. After that another big unexpected occurance the end of November. From there its been an avalanch of different. :) It feels like the only thing that hasn't changed is my hairstyle. :)

Two months ago I left the ministry that I had served at for 4 1/2 years to pursue photography and prepare for an around the world mission trip. The last two months have felt like a century. I guess because life leading up to recent days has been moving at light speed. You know looking back I can totally see how when I was living life at light speed I wasn't getting to experience anything going on around me. Everything was just streaks of light zipping around me. My change of employment has slowed my pace significantly. The last two months have been filled with beauty, fresh air, and the Lord's provision. Its been fantastic.

Since I took a long break in blogging I'm not sure that I have anybody reading this but I will put this out into the cosmos... well at least the world wide web anyway... I could use prayer. :)

1. I need direction from the Lord
2. I need just the right plane ticket
3. Ideas for a new hair cut... might as well change everything

Thats all for now....
