:: In.a.Mirror.Dimly ::

I’m in a strange place this evening. I would have thought that I couldn’t sleep because I’m nervous about a major financial thing we have in the works (I’ll say more on that in about a month or so when it’s all wrapped up), but it’s not that. There is every reason in the world for me, especially anxiety-prone me, to be up worrying.

But I’ve been preoccupied this evening…

For starters, I’m discussing co-authoring a book with a good friend of mine. It’s a project that I’m really excited about and once I hammer out this post, I’ll be returning to the sample chapter that I’m working on. In addition there are some speaking engagements coming up and some great ministry opportunities that may be opening up in my neck of the woods.

We made the move to Connecticut because all roads seemed to lead this way for us. It’s been a leap of faith all the same. We don’t have all of the pieces in place yet, but there are enough to assure us that we’re on the right track. To simply see the possibilities for ministry is incredibly encouraging because it’s just the kind of thing that God has been placing on my heart lately.

While I ponder all of the good things going on and the opportunities opening up, I find myself forgetting, regularly forgetting this huge financial thing that’s been going on—now in the background. I somehow managed to take a shaky step toward seeking first God’s Kingdom, and I didn’t even realize it.

I wish I could be more specific, but for now I’ll have to keep it vague and just pass along the lessons God is teaching me.
