Starting again

In 24 hours I'm leaving California and starting over. At 28, I find myself moving back in with my parents, looking for a job, and with not much to my name. Pretty much like I was when I moved home after college. And yet not at all like when I moved home after college - then I was 22 and had very little to complain about in my life and everything to look forward to. At 28, I'm coming home as my 4-year marriage is ending and my first full-time ministry job has ended because of it. I'm coming home wounded and broken and more aware than I've ever been of my weakness and my sin.

So I'm starting over. I'm starting over in life, and I'm asking God to show me who I am as He sees me... apart from the roles I've had as a "pastor" and as a "husband"... who am I? One thing I know I need to be about is writing, so I'm also starting over (for the umpteenth time) on this blog, and committing to being regular with it. So for now I've got 24 more hours of wrapping up my life here, spending last time with the people who've been my support system and surrogate family out here, then I've got 3 days of driving (thankfully with one of those friends). I'm starting over.
