It's been a very long time since I've felt like I have had anything worthwhile to blog about. Not because my life was uninteresting - to be sure, it was great - but mostly because I felt like I had nothing to offer. For a significant amount of time, I felt like I had entirely lost my identity. I don't know what happened, except that everything around me shifted as soon as college ended. It had to - nothing about the way you've existed for the past 16 years is the same, and you're thrust into a world that you've only experienced through thinking about the future.
Transitions are difficult.
There have been a few times in my life that I have truly felt God's hand in my life. One of the most clear times was at the end of last summer, when I had no idea what I was going to as soon as I was kicked out of summer housing at Gordon for school to start back up. Within two weeks, I suddenly had a job and a place to live, and I would be in complete denial if I said that I had control over any of that.
The second time is now. The line "I once was lost, but now am found" keeps repeating itself over and over, and joy - once elusive, yet earnestly longed for - has woven its way back into my soul. My life is so richly blessed, and for that I am eternally grateful.
