Enter: Transition

Ok, now you get some details…

First let me update you on my life.  These past three months I returned to TN, stayed with my family for a little while, visited a sweet friend in Wales, and joined up with the SOS Academy Interns to work at SOS 114.

In all of this I have been going through a sweet/hard/difficult/gracious/challenging time of seeking the Lord and being dependent on Him for all things.  Like food, shelter, vision, direction, answers, purpose, and joy.  It has been really hard.  I can look back and see that this stint in my journey began back in August of last year (really picking up in January) and in all of it I am able to see the Lord and His faithfulness!

So now, Answers!

First off, I have a career!  I have never had one before and am really excited.  I am going to be joining the BDC here in Memphis working at the Urban Farms Market.  This new endeavor will put me in the cross roads of refugees, at-risk communities, granolas, suburbs, country, mid-town, and all of the above here in the greater Memphis area.  I love this!  I love diversity and now I am plugged into an influential role bringing them all together.  And I get to put into practice all the experience and gifts I have and hopefully continue to grow in that.  This is a huge answer to prayer.

With this God has given me so much vision, more than I can handle!  My little dreamer/planner heart is going wild with potential and possibilities!

Right now I am finding myself walking a fine line between a tool and toy mentality, what displays that our home is eternal and that we are to be about His Kingdom now…  Lots of thoughts, lots of plans, and now a means to accomplish those.  With this answer to prayer, my new prayer is that this will not bring forth a spirit of independence, but an opportunity to be a blessing to my friends and neighbors.

So now I am finishing up camp in Orange Mound, getting ready to start working at the Urban Farm Market (more details on what that is and will look like soon), and becoming reestablished here in Memphis.
