I've been mulling over the handful of possibilites that have been laid out before me in the last few weeks, trying to fit the pieces together....to no avail.
Everything surrounding me want me to "grow up" get the "real" job, move out, take on a few more financial responsibilities...live the American dream.
And yet i cant bring myself to it. I dont want to "settle down." Every part of "settle down" makes me want to run in the opposite direction. "Settle down"makes me think of blue-grey walls of a cubicle, more financial responsibility, stuffy dress clothes.
Bah. I dont want this life. I want a life full of adventure, wonder, risk.
In the words of Mike Yaconelli "I want a lifetime of Holy moments. Every day I want to be in dangerous proximity to Jesus. I long for a life that explodes with meaning and is fuled with adventure, wonder, risk, danger. I long for faith that is gloriously treacherous. I want to be with Jesus, not knowing whether to cry or laugh."
I just think it would be harder to have this life with the financial burden of a new car, rent payment, and within the confines of a cubical and stuffy dress clothes.
