Yesterday Amy and I decided we're going to give ourselves to IHOP in a more full way. Within an hour she was on a team and singing four times a week. Now it's my turn to find a team to play drums on. As far as I can tell, though, everyone is pretty much full so I'll just be filling in for a little while.
Other than that, she's doing Starbucks 'til around noon five days a week and I am taking on a lot of writing and editing. We're going to be raising support as full-time missionaries here in Kansas City and putting some effort behind building an internet business.
It's weird. I've had some jobs that made me feel like I was so busy, I didn't have time to pardon my sneezes. I feel it even more now. It feels bigger, more weighty--lots more responsibility and pressure. But it's mixed with joy and peace, two things that haven't neccessarily been overflowing in the recent past. I'm just in a weird spot at the moment and I can't say that I know how to explain it.
I do know, however, that all these steps are huge--enormous. Starting a business, raising support as missionaries, switching careers mid-stream... not small things. I've always been an all or nothing type of guy, but it's a different story when you have a family to care for. The risks are greater, more immediate.
There's something frightening and exhilarating about making God your safety net.

Wow, you guys! That's weighty and exciting. It makes me very happy to hear it! Grace, grace.
Josh - I'm awed. I'm odd too. Figured I'd save someone else the trouble of pointing that out. Anyway, what I meant to say is that I'm big time proud of you guys. This is huge.
