Two Weeks Notice

Just before falling into bed, I stop to consider the day's accomplishments:
Declining the opportunity of a lifetime, to pursue the greatest desires of my heart.

It was a defining moment today, to walk out of a Congressional office and boldly step into an unchartered future.

Two weeks from today I will be home.
I'll be living once again in Nashville, TN and savoring all my favorite things in life, family, friends, community and of course, Radnor Lake.

I'll also be risking like I've never risked before- investigating my passions and seeing where that takes me.

Although exhaustion has set in, I feared I might forget the flavor of this momentous day and it is something I truly hope to remember always.
So I have paused to record a fleeting moment- residing between relief and anticipation, between saddness and delight.
These are not my everyday occurances; but they are today's occurances and so I find them worth recording.

And this much I hope to be true: Delight yourself also in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart- words that linger in the middle of my Bible, on a card given years ago by my father.
