"The hens they all cackle, the roosters all beg,
But I will not hatch, I will not hatch.
For I hear all the talk of pollution and war
As the people all shout and the airplane roar,
So I'm staying in here where it's safe and it's warm,
And I WILL NOT HATCH!"
~Shel Silverstein
It's been a while since I have written anything. My life has drastically changed since the beginning of July. I am beginning an adventure that I always feared. I was so afraid of the unknown. So afraid to hatch. But I am choosing not to live in fear anymore.
In two weeks, my time on staff at The Gallery Church will be coming to an end. The emotions I have felt and will probably continue to feel are so overwhelming some days, I just want to stay in bed, "where it's safe and it's warm". That's not Gods plan for me, that's fear running my life.
I'm staying in the city for some months. My plan is to get a corporate job and stay here until I can make my way to Australia.
I have no way of finishing this post. No thoughts. I just want to live the adventure of each day. I'm living for this moment. I'm hatching out of my shell.
