Have you ever felt like the one thing you were certain of was that you didn't know what was next? We creatures of modern conveniences, schedules, ardent faith, and GPS navigational systems know how to map out a plan. Well what happens when it gets wrecked and you can't put the pieces back together. If you are real with yourself this is the moment when the real you meets the other side of certainty, vagueness. I lived a out a plan that seemingly had a 14 year life span and has now been wrecked. Now I will say that I'm a better man for it because it has revealed a number of things to me.
- Pain can soften the soul and reconnect you to the human experience
- Confusion can lead to raw and amazing discoveries
- Idle time can be a blessing in disguise
- Hope can be refined
- Although life moves very fast we are still bound to a pace that's much slower which leads to genuine change
- I'm still blessed

T - reading your post makes me wonder about myself. I have a great house that I've put a lot of time and money into so that it's at a point where I don't have much more to do to it, my wife and I have great jobs that we like, we go to a church that we really like and are just starting to feel planted there, we are close to family and get to spend time with them often, and we have a great network of friends who we love. So what do we do? We decide to move? We decide to change jobs? We decide to get new friends? We decide to go on a vacation somewhere exotic? No, instead we decide to completely uproot ourselves and move as far away as possible where we don't know anyone and start from scratch. I must be insane...
