When I first started blogging 4 years ago, the title of this blog was called Liminal Space. I've changed the title four times since then but remained in a liminal space. All you had to do was read my posts in the past 2-3 years to know that my life and vocational calling was going through a transition that can only be described as being out of the room I had been in (pastoral ministry) but not quite into the next room (what my next steps were), I was living in the hallway, the in-between. These past few months and years have not been easy for me or my wife. All the while, I've been trusting that something better was on the horizon and that life would finally start to feel like living again not just getting by.
Today, I feel like for the first time in years I am no longer living in liminality. I believe that I have now crossed the threshold and stepped into the next journey of my life and vocation. This past weekend, I was offered an opportunity to be an outdoor educator at a local nature preserve. This is the kind of opportunity that I've been praying for for some time now and I can now begin living my heart’s longing: to lead people back into the wild to reconnect to the earth, our souls, one another and to the Creator.
This is an exciting time for me and I hope the start of many more good things to come.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
