I don’t really know why I picked this photo and title for this post. I guess it’s because it’s a good metaphor for how I’ve been feeling this week. I just feel like my life has been out of tune for the past couple of months and I’m trying to find harmony again. Everythings still out-of-whack and I’m trying to make all kinds of adjustments. This is all just part of the transition, but now that I think about it a little more, I think you could use this “out of tune” metaphor for a lot of people in my stage of life. I know a lot of people like me, who really aren’t sure why God has them in a particular position, who want to know what’s going on, what their destination is. We tend to think that everything has to “be in tune” before we can actually make some progress in our lives. For me, the things that are still out of tune are income and church. Now, it’s not like I haven’t been in this situation before (ex. my entire adult life up to this point), but now that God has actually given us a few answered prayers and planted us in a new place and everything, I feel like I should follow up on all of this. So, I’ve been looking for a job and for a church this week, hoping that God will knock these two birds down with one stone.

In other news, my life is also out-of-whack this week because the A/C went out on the Jeep, not to mention it needed some other serious maintenance, so I’m stuck at the apartment without a ride. I guess God is trying to give us a good dose of reality, now that we’re settled in. No worries, though (sort of). I know God will help us out here and help me find some work and he’ll point us to the right church. I have discovered a couple of really cool emerging churches out here, though. I’m really pumped up about checking them out this weekend. I also came across some new house church plants that are in the area that are intriguing, so that’s on the horizon.

Well, I’d better stop rambling before I make this post too long for some people. I wouldn’t want to make anybody bored.

    If you need a lift somewhere while your Jeep’s on the fritz, we’re in Plano and could probably help out — I’ll drop you an email with our number.

    Hey, I didn’t name any names. I’m just saying that some blogs are too much.

    I have a feeling I’m gonna have to recant by the time this is all over with.

    Joseph, this is exactly why you should name names. If you don’t, all we’ve got is our own paranoia/imagination!

    I feel you on you Jeep messing up. Just this past Saturday my transmission hasn’t been acting right.

    I’ll be glad when you find a church. Everytime we went to Plano to see Alison’s mom, we went to their home church. Very traditional, sickening to guys like us. You’re in my prayers.
