As I sit back and think about my daily life, I'm realizing how boring it's all become. I have no adventure anymore, it seems. There's no thrill, no fun. Hmmm...
The most recent change with me is my new job as a receptionist at a local hair salon, which is pretty boring so far. No joke. However, it is only my third day on the job tomorrow... so we'll see what happens.
I mostly hang out with my grandma, and my extended relatives, all of whom are over the age of 60. So, you can imagine what that's like. Although I must say, I have fallen out of my chair laughing with them on multiple occasions. :o) Our twice weekly domino games have become highlights in my week.
Then there's the most fun thing I have going, which is my involvement in Summergrove Baptist's middle school youth group, which is a real blessing for me. These girls are amazing, and they make my week every time I get to be with them. A couple have already opened up big time, and it's really just incredible to see what God's doing through the young people these days. Courage is in the meek.
But outside of that, I'm wondering why my life turned out this way. Not the whole moving here thing, but why I'm in this particular situation. I've always pictured myself working at a church ministry as an intern doing the Lord's work and serving Him alongside new people in my life. And I've seen myself as having more friends than the 2 I sparingly see, getting to know them, going out on the town, being crazy, you know. I'm also wondering whether I should have gotten so involved in a ministry so quickly without figuring out the church it's in first. I don't really get much out of the services there, and I can't be involved in the young singles group because of schedule conflicts with the youth group's stuff. So, I'm doing what I can with the youth group on Sunday morning and Wednesday night, but am not really fellowshipping with people my own age at all. And I really miss my home church and everyone there. I REALLY miss it.
So, I'm just crying out for some ADVENTURE here, Lord! I need to find that sweet spot! I want to be off the fence and into the game. What should I do, God? What do I need to change about myself in order to enjoy my life more? You alone can change me....
