Philippians 4:12

The question persists: why uproot at the time when I am finally finding my niche in the greater DSM/Ames communities? Well, it's hard to explain, but comfort is rather uncomfortable. Here's my best go at an explanation:

My small group is starting a study of Philippians and I was checking out what I've noted in my Bible from the last time I read it and I found Philippians 4:12 (KJV) -

"I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need."

This verse spoke to me when I first read it and it speaks to me now. I feel "instructed both to abound and to suffer need". Ya dig?

The Joys of Unemployment

So, I am currently between jobs. I have the whole AmeriCorps*NCCC thing lined up so all I have to do now is organize my entire life. Sort of a daunting task, but unemployment does come with its positive aspects:
1) sleeping for 8 hours no matter what time I get to bed
2) wearing whatever I want without needing to change clothes or burn holes in what I am wearing
3) actually having time to do all the things I need to get done... now if I could just find the motivation...
