Ballparks and Journeys

Okay, I'm up to three ballparks this season since my trip to go visit my sister and brother in-law in Klamath Falls Oregon and some other friends in the state in the middle of the month. Which kinda of explains my lack of blogging. Nah, not really. I don't have much of an excuse. All I know is that I'm torn, while I love being in the mountains, Especially after the winter we had here. But at the same time I miss being around the ballpark everyday. And boy it is tough since jobs are starting to open up in the baseball industry and a few of them have intriguied me already. All these things seem to be under the question of Why are you here? and where are you going? These two questions I've been struggling with for most of summer.(Which got started very late around here) Maybe it's the fact I want something more, for some of the thinking and reasons that lead me to stay here in Mammoth for the summer, have ended up being totally different that what has happened this summer. After getting seveal reports about happenings in Denali this summer, I'm glad I'm not up there again. And who would have thought that I would be part of a church thats reorganiziing to a model where teams are leading and doing the visioning, instead of just a few people who provide the vision and leadership like many churches. What can I say the Lighthouse is not your father's church.
Which is just one of many things that have been going on. And even in the relationship front. Which there hasn't been much going on. And when I think about it, I keep coming back to a thought that I have had about it. "Is to keep watching and waiting and you will see my glory shine." Which when you think about it a really awesome promise. Except the toughest thing to do is just wait to see it come to pass.
And I think that's part of what I want more of. To see God's glory just shine. In my life and in others. Even if I have no idea of how it should look like at times, or where I'm headed to next. Weather it's in Mammoth for another winter season or at a ballpark somewhere. I've been realizing that it's in the quiet that God really does the moving and just to listen, you'll might just be surprised about what's going on.
