Floating in Outer Space

Quite a few years ago I read a delightful series of fiction books by Jan Karon.  I can remember the main character saying,"I feel as if I'm floating in outer space tethered only to God." At the time I read these words I was in transition and so was Father Tim.

I still find this sentence to be the exact picture of how I feel, even today during my present transition.
Maybe I can elaborate. Its not like I'm grounded to the space in where I find myself, because I am leaving. I am pulling up the roots that I have tied myself to. I have not created new roots nor do I even know what this new place will look and feel like.

I am some where in outer space and those things that brought me such security are changing. Many things are disconnecting from me or I am from them. Except the main thing. He is the one that I am securely tied to. I don't plan on letting go and even if I did He holds tightly onto me. My frailty and sense of vulnerability only make me more aware of how close Jesus is. He is coming with me and that is not going to change.

I can totally relate! Can't move forwards, can't move back... kind of like flying too (not where you want to go yet).

Just remember, when you're packing, COLOUR CODE EVERY BOX to go into a certain room - either that or hire Craig:)

I'm praying for you, my sweet friend x
