One of my five readers gave me a hard time last week on the length of time since my last post. I guess I have been trying to fly under the radar a little and just escape as many of the “things” that I was involved in for the past two years. Somebody asked me if when I fell off the grid did it fall on top of me. In my defense I have been using Facebook as a line out so if you want to be my “friend” look me up.

So I feel like I am in a void between two chapters of my life. I know what the last chapter was about and I know when and how it ended. I know that I spent 1.5 years between the previous two chapters and only have a few little thoughts as to exactly how long this time will be. (I know little brain = little thoughts) The other uncertainty is what the next chapter will involve. I have ideas about when and what but if you have asked going into that 1.5 year period, I would have had a much shorter time and a whole lot different direction.

So… I have spent the last two months on “vacation”. Many would call it unemployment but I like to think it was God’s way of forcing me to take a sabbatical. I am really glad that He did too. My family and I have had a wonderful time staying at the beach, going camping, community pools, Sea World, etc. Harmony and I even got a couple of weekends alone. Even though you can never make up for time lost it was great to try.

I have been blessed with a full time job in architecture until September 15^th. After that my future is once again up in the air. One thing is for certain… we have grown to expect the unexpected. I try so hard to try and figure out the way that God is going to spin this event or this relationship. I look at how this may play out or where He will send the next “BIG” thing from or open the next door.

I laugh (not to keep from crying) because it is an exercise in futility. As I look back on the last two years, and really long before that, it hasn’t been very often that I could have predicted who, what, when and where. I may have got one or two right but thankfully (sometimes) God blew my expectations away.

I was looking back through some old e-mails yesterday and came across some that were sent around the time that we went to Weston. I had almost forgotten just how fast and how unmistakably God had worked in that situation. It seemed like everything happened over the course of just over a month. So in one month I went from a career in Architecture and comfortable life in Central Florida to living in South Florida as a Church Planter. God said “Jump” and we did. I have never bungy jumped but I have to believe that we experienced some common emotions.

So “I wait for You”. I do what I can and seek His direction but I feel a little like I am standing on the side of a bridge just waiting for God to say “jump”. So I haven’t blogged a lot because waiting isn’t my favorite thing to do and really doesn’t make for interesting filler. But if this was a picture book some of the views would be amazing!
