The events of the past week (or couple of weeks) sort of came to a head today. Both Andrea and I have had a very emotional day, all of which came from great things – things that if I knew how to put it in a blog, I’m not sure that I would believe what I wrote. Figuratively speaking. So I will just say that today has been a day of crushing (in a good way) humility, coupled with word-eating awe.
I’ve sensed a quickening over the last month. Starting with our trip to Illinois, I sensed that it was the first step upward toward a new season of life. Each day, week, etc. has brought another step, each with its unique and riveting realizations.
For instance, the better part of the last week has seen me going to sleep no earlier than 3am. Various reasons for that, but the common thread is that I’ve been hammering out, praying through, and extracting truth for this next season of life.
In the last few days I came to several points-of-purpose for D&A Design – a quasi-dream sheet of what I see D&A Design being, beyond a design/branding firm. I will not write those out for public display, though, because doing (rather than talking) is a huge part of my plans.
The quickening I have sensed seems to have reached a threshold of sorts today. Maybe not. Might be another step or so. All I know is that something big and internal happened today. I just don’t know what the implications are yet.
Another thing that hit me hard – really hard – today is that Andrea and I are loved by friends. The sentence I am typing now has been written and erased 3 times. I’ve been trying to write the words to describe what it’s like to have the friends we do – both locally, and spread out. I suppose I’m left to just say “thanks,” and that I love each of my friends for many different reasons.
