Right. I know I said I was going to quickly post a survey link to get your input and support for continuing this blog in a "new and improved" model. And,(or as some who know me might say I say... "comma, and")it's not so easy! Plus, I was a bit distracted by my amazing time in D.C. this entire week; great meeting with the Wild Goose Man himself, Mark Batterson: http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Goose-Chase-Adventure-Pursuing/dp/1590527194 , being in our nation's capital for this historic moment in history, working with my amazingly creative team of magazine designers and generally letting the moments wash over me. The net-net: it's coming VERY soon!
To make sure that your effort to read this was not in vain (c'mon, admit it -- it was on the email and it didn't numb any of your "clicking" fingers)I am sharing the following quote from Mark's book, Wild Goose Chase that I feel was encouragement and reinforcement as to why I started this blog and what "Writing INbetween is all about.
"Few things are as disorienting as in-between times - between jobs, between relationships, or between a rock and a hard place. But nothing rattles the cage like a bad diagnosis, a pink slip, or divorce papers. They cause the compass needle to spin.And we feel lost because our plans and our lives fall apart. But the upside is that it causes us to seek God with a raw intensity that cannot be manufactured any other way. Disorientation has a way of driving us to our knees. And that is why the bad things that happen to us can actually turn into the best things that happen to us."
I take this as a God wink, reminding me that it is in between the extremes of life that faith resides.
Where are you right now? My wish for you: partner and celebrate with the ambiguities as they weave in and out of every moment.
Write on.
Brian
