When I look back on my past couple of years, I wonder how I have been such a know-it-all. How I was so confident that I knew exactly how this God and Ministry thing worked. I mean, I was even confident that I knew it all about not being a know it all, and would snicker at know-it-all 22-year-olds. Oh how mistaken I was in my self confidence. Part of it is that it took a VBS, in which the young adult class was done in a way I definitely wouldn’t have done it, and having it reach me in a powerful way.

So right now I’m at a big pause moment. I’ve sent off the application forms, and now it’s waiting until I have the interview. Waiting and stewing. In some (some, hah try a lot of)ways I’m more comfortable doing than waiting. I’ll attempt to be constructive. I have a gift certificate for Northwestern Bookstores, so I’ll be hitting that up soon and I have IVPs Being White. It’s a book about what it means to be white in the USA. Even though I don’t know where I’ll be, I should become more prepared for Cross Cultural ministry, and as you may have guessed by now (if you don’t know me personally) I’m not white in the USA, so I need to figure that out.
