the journey continues

Life is full of first steps. We take our first literal steps as a toddler, we take our first step of many in our education and learning cycle, we take a first step in relationships and our social environment, we also take our first steps into reality. I had one of these steps this week. After three great years with a company I loved and adored, I had to say goodbye. Starbucks was the first step I had to a long and successful career. I learned many new skills and had many cups of good coffee and met many great people. I had to say goodbye though and step into reality. I realized that the position, although great, wasn't for me. Now as I embark on a set of new first steps to what is now unknown, I pray that you will journey with November and I as we see what God has instore for us. We are excited to see what lies ahead but we are also scared. I was reminded of one of my favorite scriptural passaged the other night, "and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28. I feel as though we live a life full of first steps, I just need to make sure my steps are leading me to Him.
