Caution: Curves Ahead

I’ve got resumes out there. I’m finishing that all-important fourth unit of CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education). I’m excited. Nervous. Slightly curious. But mostly, I’m learning to enjoy the ride and not be in the driver’s seat.

I suppose if I could write the script, it would be different. I’d know where the plot was going, or have a sense of what’s next. That’s totally NOT the case. As a friend of mine, a breast cancer survivor says, ‘NOT a fan!’

And yet… I can hang out the window. Enjoy the view. See where we’ve been. Experience the wind in my face. And be in the experience without controlling it. It’s fun, in a free-fall, scared-of-heights kinda way. God’s got this one covered, too.
