If you've ever met me you know I've always been a little antsy. I'm not patient. I get bored easily. And I'm always looking for a new challenge. No surprise then that after a lifetime spent in the midwest, I'm ready to go.
So, in honor of my impending departure of the great state of Minnesota to head 1,135 miles east toward my long lost love, New York City, I bring you today's wisdom. It is from Donald Miller, the most non-Christian Christian writer I've ever come across. Read his books. They'll change your life and make you inspect it like you never thought possible.
"We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and the resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?
It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out.
I want to repeat one word for you:
Leave.
Leave.
Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed."
