First of all, God gets all the credit. God has once again come through for the Taylor family. In March of this year, I was offered a job at Outreach, Inc. I get to work on an amazing team that oversees the National Outreach Convention. The details are crazy, but I can only point to God and say, "He's the one responsible for me getting this job." It was a crazy, frustrating, exciting, wonderful, horrible 6 months. In the past 6 months, Heather and I have encountered family members battling cancer, losing our dog to cancer, unexpected bills, unemployment, job interviews, the joy of a newborn in the house, sleep deprivation, new workout routines, checking out new churches with our family, budget cuts, holidays with family, new friendships, craziness, depression, laughter, and the incredibly frustrating world of "JUST NOT KNOWING." And God walked with us every step of the way. In a lot of ways I felt like Forrest Gump(sans beard). This blog is going to try and chronicle those highlights and share what I(we) learned along the way.
What is the craziest thing you have gone(going) through in the past 6 months?
Craziest thing I have gone/am going through is finally stepping out in faith with regard to Biblical storytelling and training. I've been toying with, praying about, and fretting over this for a couple of years but I've honestly been intimidated by the idea of putting myself out there. "What if I fail?" I've recently been encouraged in a number of ways and a funny thing happened. I don't have the fear I once had and I'm ready to roll. It's funny, I feel a little like Indiana Jones in the third movie when he's in the cave and has to step out into the abyss and trust he won't fall. It's that sense that this is absolutely right but "oh crap" at the same time.
