Here in Alaska we have a road that connects Anchorage and Fairbanks. There is not much to do and even less places to stop along the way. Portions of the road are wilderness that go on for hours. For many this is a beautiful drive filled with incredible sites. For those that drive the road often it is just merely the road from Anchorage to Fairbanks and the most valuable thing is making good time.
In my own life I have been on a road of transition. I am moving from one position that I have held for three plus years into a new position that has more challenges than benefits. It is an adventure but at the same time it is a road that I have taken many times before. I feel almost numb to everything and I am just waiting to lock into this new opportunity and begin to work at 100% again.
During this time, I have felt myself being drawn closer to God, dealing with suppressed emotions, and reflecting back on what has happened in the last few years. Having time to look more inward than outward has given me the opportunity to learn who I have become. Like Joseph having to spend some time in prison to prepare for Pharaoh's courts, I have been able to prepare for what is to come. To those that read my words on this blog, I apologize for going on vacation from sharing my thoughts but know that my mind is now full of new ideas. The next year will be definitely interesting.
