In the beginning...

We all need to start somewhere. The past few months have been full of reflection, and tough questions. I like to call it my own quaterlife crisis. I feel like I cannot move on, or take another significant step until I know, or have strong feeling that this will be the right thing to do. My life is effectively on hold at this stage... both professionally and personally.

The only area of my life that keeps growing and growing is my spiritual life. Pretty sad and hard to process events have happened to me over the past few months, and I am convinced that God was just using these events to make a comeback in my life. We all have different stories when it comes to returning to Christ. In my case, HE was never too far, HE was in the hallway waiting for me to finally let HIM in. I managed to convince myself that I was alone on this journey, and that no one cared enough to comfort me or tell me that everything would be alright.

I know now that this is not true... there is always someone. There is always a comforting word from a stranger (I was in DC last month, and this guy stopped me and thanked me for smiling at him, because it was the first smile he had seen that day-it was 5PM!!!!) , or a random song on the radio (well, I now play my iPod when I drive... I can't find a radio station I really like..).

Well, over the next few (weeks, months, years???) I will be trying to figure out what is happening to me, and how this will affect the rest of my life. .. All I know is that this the beginning of a beautiful adventure!!
