shattered expectations and a shout out.

God is shattering my expectations. And I'm completely fine with that. In fact, I am ready for more.

I was riding around last night in northeastern Maryland and was thinking (well, said aloud) that I could never live here because I think I would go absolutely crazy not being connected to anything I was familiar with.

By the time I went to bed, though, I had realized that...hello...my entire family is here. What's not FAMILIAR about that. I'm not saying that I'm moving to Maryland. But, I'm just saying that I'm no longer saying I would NEVER move back to Maryland. I'm also saying I would still consider staying in Atlanta, as well as definitely consider moving back to Nashville.

So, you see where my mind is these days?

But, God is continuing to crack at the walls of the box I have put my life in. It's pretty interesting when expectations are shattered because you finally can breathe easily. At least I can. I no longer have to think about the "what ifs" or the "do you think it could happen" or "oh dear God, please don't ask me to do that". I just wait and listen. I'm not hearing much beyond the peace of stillness. That's cool. At least for now.

And, oh...the shout out. I promised. Good job on the parallel parking on the opposite side of the road, Weaver.
