| Two blue lines have changed my life forever.
I've always wondered how this moment would feel... and now it's so
surreal I don't know what to think or feel. (I didn't mean for
that to rhyme) The fear and excitement all mix into one. I
wish I had a job and insurance lined up... but it always seems like God
works in ways that don't make sense from our perspective.
I believe with all my heart that I will look back on this season of my
life, this transition (out of a job, looking for another, planting a
church, and having a baby) as a defining moment. This is one of
those times where God is doing more shaping and molding than other
times. It's difficult, but I don't want to die the kind of guy I
am now. I want the change. It's scary, but welcome.

| N.E. Oliver in "A New Kind of Christian" by Brian McLaren:
"I've been thinking more about the subject of spirituality and
spiritual formation. I'm reflecting on how I was 'discipled' in a
conservative evangelical context and what has stayed with me through
the years and helped me and what has proved either useless or
counterproductive.
"One of the first things that strikes me is this: whatever made me more
'religious' -- by which I mean whatever made me more identified and
isolated as a member of a religious subculture -- those elements have
not served me well in the long run.
"The things that helped me connect with God are the things that helped
me most. For example, a counselor at a Christian summer camp
taught me how to keep a journal -- his five-minute explanation sitting
on the front porch of a camp cabin enriched my life forever. I
think you keep a journal too, right? Journaling and all other
spiritual practices done 'in secret' seem to me to be essential."
