So on Sunday, Scott and I got up early and went to 9:30 church service. The sermon was given by Charles Park, who used to be part of the staff here but moved to NY last summer to start a churchplant down in NYC. It was awesome to hear about his experiences as a church-planter, and I was struck at how good it was to see and hear him after a year of absence. Listening to Charles' sermon made me acutely aware of how different I feel now as opposed to a year ago, or three years ago when I started coming to the Vineyard. I was amazed to realize that the thought "There's got to be more to life than this" has not crossed my brain in I-don't-know-how-long, whereas it used to be a constant drone in the background of all my thinking all the time. Not to say that I've achieved all my goals (far from it) or even isolated what on earth I'm *trying* to aim for (yep, still shooting in the dark, for the most part). I guess what I'm saying is that the way I'm going after my life is different. More meaningful. I might not have all the answers but I think I've finally laid a finger on the process, which is looking to connection with God first. Remarkably, that might be all I need.
