So I noticed it has been 4 months since my last blog! And I decided that was shameful so here is an update (not that anyone other than myself still reads this thing :). I have now been working as a Bilingual Help Me Grow service coordinator for 3 months. The job is not without it's challenges, and often I find myself asking "What am I doing working with children?" For those of you who know me, it is no surprise that I have no experience working with children and neither is it my passion in life.
Often my work seems more about having the right form filled out at the right time, and not so much about connecting families with the resources they so urgently need. It's a challenge not being from Columbus and not knowing what organizations do...in other words, not knowing what resources are available or how to tell folks how to get there...aka directions, something I am awful at. If not for my precious GPS I would not ever know where I was or where I needed to go.
And that's how I feel in life too....I wish I had a GPS to tell me what road to take, what turn to make. But God whispers softly, God leaves me the space to make my own decisions, to get lost. And I seek God's guidance and yet feel lost...and comforted in that even if my choice is perhaps not the perfect path, God is at work in it even when I can't see or understand the movement of the divine.
