"Life - it only makes sense when you look at it backwards. Too bad we have to live it forward." (13 Conversations About the Same Thing - movie)
Actually, life doesn't always make sense looking at it backwards either.
I just lost my job. A little fear initially, followed by excitement and anticipation of what God has for us next.
The initial euphoria and excitement will probably be tempered next Monday, after my office is cleaned out, the church has said "goodbye," and they move on. I too must move on, explore, pray, discover what God's next step is.
There is a fine line between acting and waiting. I need to initiate. But I also need to wait on God.
Last time I was between jobs, it was hard to relax and wait. Maybe I can do better this time at enjoying the time without time pressures, schedules and demands. I wish I had a longer severance.
