Progress, not perfection

It's that time of year again. The time when all the leaves start falling off the trees and the cold starts creeping in. Autumn is my favorite season, but I'm not too excited about the cold air that seems to be taking over.

It definitely is beautiful here in New England though. I do love being able to put on a nice cozy blanket, and sip away on some apple cider while reading a good book.

My life feels a bit like I'm in a "stuck" phase, but on the cusp of something new emerging. I'm not sure what, or when that will happen, but I can sense it will be coming.

I am working to understand where I'm meant to go next. Today at church we sang Servant Song, which is one of my top songs we sing during mass about ministry and mission. It starts: "What do you want of me, Lord? Where do you want me to serve you? Where can I sing your praises. I am your song." That's where I find myself right now. Asking where I should be serving, where I am called to be. As I sang those words (prayed them twice, really) today, I felt the answer in response was "right where you are now. Do not be in a hurry to move on".
I do like my job, but I am somewhat anxious to find out what's next and put my new degree to use.
