Dear Blurry Leader,
A recent and fairly insignificant event has underscored for me how fluid things really are, and how much confusion I am in. It's when the old world comes crashing into me again, to remind me I am still in it, that even though it is fading, it is still strong. I don't want to lose the progress I've gained, but I feel like I'll never escape the suburbs.
I live in between two worlds, one fading and one coming into focus. But it's still too blurry to navigate. I know what is there, what I'm supposed to see, but I can't quite make it out. So I'm squinting and stretching my arms out and I'm unable to keep pace with this new world and I stumble a lot.
Give me eyes.
Your servant,
BJ

Hmm. I just wrote something similar to this a couple weeks ago. I wonder if stopping and focusing on where you're at is helpful? Sometimes the clearest place is the present, but I forget about it because I'm regretting the past or looking to the future.

I too wrote something about being too close to see what God is doing. It is in a moment of stumbling that you usually reach out for something solid. When we can't see clearly, I'm thankful for hands. Humbling isn't it?
Sorry I missed you're guys comments. Apparently, this blog isn't set up to email me when I get a comment.
Bryan - The unexamined life is not worth living. The overexamined life? Also not worth living.
Corner office - Don't you really have the middle office where everyone tramps through your territory? You are Belgium.
