So here’s the deal, I really like my life. But lately I have been feeling kind of “blah” about, well, pretty much everything! I was scrolling through my Facebook and Twitter feeds on my lunch break today and this thought dawned on me as to why that is, “I don’t have a cause to live for right now!” I saw all these posts and stories about these amazing things that my friends and the people I follow were doing to express their faith and love and I realized that I don’t have that in my life right now. For once in my (adult) life I do not have a “cause” that is driving me right now. For many years I have always been involved different things that I have been passionate and excited about. Youth ministry, teaching, ministry teams, school… just to name a few. But right now, in this season of my life, I don’t have a cause that is driving and fueling me. It has been really nice for a while, but now it’s starting to get annoying! Now before you go and get all bent out of shape and start picking on me for not seeing my family as a “good enough” cause to be driven by, let me say this. I love my family, immensely! More than any of you will ever know! And I draw an enormous amount of inspiration and passion for life from them. I have the most caring, compassionate and patient wife in the world. I could give you a list longer than my arm to prove it to you, but the fact that she has been married to me for more than 20 years should be enough for you get my point! I also have THE two smartest, brightest and funniest kids EVER! But I am pretty certain that even they will tell you that I am a much happier and an easier person to live with when I have another place to channel some my energy and zeal! This restlessness has led to many evenings of me wondering around our small apartment looking for something productive to do. Which I’m sure weirds my family out when I do that! That restlessness is also what has been driving my recent exploration for a way to serve in Kingdom work again. So I am on a mission to find a cause to live for! I’m not quite sure what that cause is yet (and I’m open to suggestions and ideas) but… I am on a mission to find “my” cause!
p.s.
Contrary to the opinions of some of my friends, Disneyland is NOT that cause! 😉
