MCD ... ya that's where i work now

so day three of work has come and gone. it seems like i've been there a long time (that's just how long the days have been) but when i just typed the word three it was kind of shocking. like a reality check or something that even though i feel so defeated ... and/or aimless in my task ... it's really only been three days. it's been good but hard ... perhaps like so much of life. i'm beginning to see what they do and why they do it and how i'm going to fit into it. currently they are starting up a couple main programs so everything is changing. part of me is like man on man why do i have to come into this when no one knows what they are doing ... but the other part of me is like ... wow we are all just fumbling around trying to love God and love people the best we know how. everything's new for me .... i don't know what i'm doing signing up to be a grant writer, living and driving in omaha, grocery shopping, living on a tight budget, making friends, pretty much communicating with people at all, trying to dress myself every morning to go to work, working 9-5, not living on campus or with people i know ... ya pretty much all of it-turned upside down. but i must remind myself over and over again that life is a process, a journey, and that's not bad... it's actually quite good and should be enjoyable. what an adventure of finding out more about who God is and who i am and how to love people and function day to day. i'm entering this year wobbling between scared out of my mind and so excited for what God is going to do. it's going to be good ... and hard ... but good.

oh and if you want to know more about Mosaic Community Development ... i'd be glad to chat :) especially as i continue to learn more
