If I had on a blue gingham dress, that would be me. As it stands, I'm wearing the tie-dyed t-shirt I wear when coloring my hair and some ratty gray shorts. But the feeling is the same, and the horizon is filled with possibilities.
In case you are wondering why there are cobwebs in the corner of my blog and a fine layer of dust covering everything, I've been heading a different direction this past year. Last July, I was contacted by Lifeway Christian Resources to pray about serving as the City Coordinator for Living Proof Live Milwaukee with Beth Moore. It was one of those John Ortberg Get Out of the Boat and Henry Blackaby Experiencing God moments all rolled into one as I processed through the decision. Saying yes would definitely require me to shift some priorities, and be willing to follow God into new territory. But, as I like to say, "I'm nothing if not obedient. Show me where You are calling me to walk and I will walk there. Just don't stutter."
God didn't mumble or stutter in His call and this past year has been one of the greatest adventures of my life. I wouldn't trade this journey for anything. One of the biggest things I've learned is that God doesn't call us to something because He needs a task done, but because He wants to reveal something of Himself to us through that call. It took awhile for me to realize that He didn't call me to this role because He's just smart. :)
But with Living Proof Live Milwaukee coming up August 14-15, another season of change is upon me. And here I stand in all my lazy summer morning finery, wondering which road to follow.
Maybe I'll just click my heels three times and see where that gets me...
