Reflection

In the summer of 2006 I sat in a field in Weimar, German. I was laying in the middle of knee high grass outside of Goethe's garden house with headphones in my ears. History Maker by Delirious was playing, and it was one of the first truly memorable moments with God I have had. I encountered Him in a real way and found true peace in that field. If you haven't heard the song, you should go listen to it. The song is so motivating!

Almost exactly four years later, I listened to the same song sitting outside of an Orlando hotel as the sun set in the distance. Thinking back to four years ago caused me to reflect on where I was and where I am today. I think a personal inventory is really important, however painful it may be.

In the past four years I have finished school, worked a year at a job, bought a house, bought a car (even though I didn't want to), and had almost complete turnover in the people in my life. I have lost my passion, I have lost my direction, and I have lost my vision for the future.

Luckily the past few weeks have slowed me down and allowed me to assess my situation. My take on things is that there is much work to do, much work that I cannot bear on my own.

i dont like finishing posts...
