Where Am I Going?

"There’s something very freeing about losing the anchors that have always defined you. Frightening, sad, but exhilarating in a poignant way, as well. You’re free to float to the moon and evaporate or sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. But you’re free to explore. Some people confuse that with drifting, I suppose. I like to think of it as growing.”

This quote came across my inbox in one of those Values.com emails - and I kept it unread because I wanted to think on it more.

Right now, I do feel that, at times, I am drifting. I don't know exactly where I'm going, especially at this point in my life. (Kind of reminds me of that good ol' Thomas Merton quote.) 

And that can be kind of daunting or even scary. Friends are going back to school...getting married...moving to new places...changing careers... 

Where do I fit in? What's God's plan for me?

Am I drifting? Or, as the quote insists, is it more like growing?

I suppose I like to think of it as the latter too...and I like to think that one day it will all be revealed...
