Changes

Oooh, changes
No one likes them
No one wants them.

Yet here I sit.
I've been wanting to be able to do ministry full time
do this bushcraft full time...
But I've always had a job that took up 9-10 hours of my day (or more)

Friday I was let go.
After our team was told we were safe
After I spent 7 years working to make my team, my clients better.

And here we are.
I am taking this as a blessing in disguise.
My values no longer matched my company's
My personal and professional goals no longer aligned with the company's goals

I am grateful to have time to reflect on who I am
I am grateful to have time to listen to God for my next steps
I am grateful to have time to process all that is happening.

So, here I sit.
I am finding I love morning time coffee with the Lord
I love recording reflections and sharing what I'm learning
I am thankful that He guides each step of my day and my life.

The Beginning

Alright, this dream isn't going to build itself...
but don't you wish they would?

I love adventures
I love the outside

I love and desire to learn how to build fire with my hands
build a shelter, a home, with nothing but the materials around me.

I want to connect with the world God created
The primitive world
The natural world.

As I build and hone my skills
   as painfully lacking as they are...right now
I know that I am not along in my dream.

That there are other folks who see beyond the veil
   of what this world has to offer
Others that want to come together and build a community
   virtually and physically.

So from this day forward
   let's do this.
