I suppose this would all be easier if I had a five year plan or some career goals. I sat down last week to create a five year plan. The picture I painted had no references to my career. There was mention of family, relationships, giving, nurturing and enjoying the earth. And of course I knew that these were my priorities.
I am not object to change. A good adventure is something I often welcome. That said, my risks are calculated with a Get out of jail free card in my back pocket. New responsibility is not a risk. Moving is not so much of a risk. Going to Africa is not a risk. Things aren't a risk when things are within God's plan.
So, do I take the risk of leaving something in which I have autonomy, respect, trust and fledgling expertise? Do I try something described as a good career move? Do I even want to make a career move? Do I move even though something in a few months will put it all on hold? Do I say no even though the powers-that-be think I'm a very good fit? Is this my opportunity to be an instrument for change?
K, what is this about moving????
