Settling in

I'm settling in. Settling in to my marriage, my job, my roles, my space, my life. 

It's been fun to create our life together as a married couple, but now I'm starting to think about what it means to live out our purpose. What God is leading us to do, where our resources are going...how we function independently, and together...how our spiritual walks are personal, and where they come together. What it means to be less selfish, prideful, impatient; more godly, kind, patient, selfless.

I've lived so long functioning as a human on a mission, just doing what I had to do to reach the goal that I had to reach, for finishing school and starting a career. 

But now I have accomplished all of those things, and I am at the level I aimed for.

Now I need to grow in where I am right now, to be better at what I am doing, to be better for the people around me, to use and grow the gifts God has given me, and to buff out rough edges that I've ignored for so long. 

I'm trusting God to lead me through this season to serve His people, and to make me more like Him.
