As much as I am disappointed that I did not get the job in Seattle, I am very excited to stay here in Dallas for the foreseeable future. I’m stoked to remain a part of the community that God gifted to me. I’m very excited about the passion and zeal that many of these folks possess for authentic, gospel community. I’m excited to get back up to Dallas to get settled in for the next year. But what I am most excited about is the smaller opportunities that God has opened for me. This last year was a great year for me, what I call a healthy year. However, I’m not ready to settle for what I’ve experienced up to this point. I want more. I want to go deeper. I want authentic. I don’t want to settle. Seth Godin recently commented about settling on his blog:
Along the way, we settle.
We settle for something not quite right, or an outfit that isn’t our best look, or a job that doesn’t quite maximize our talents. We settle for relationships that don’t give us joy, or a website that’s, “good enough.”
The only way to get mediocre is one step at a time.
You don’t have to settle. It’s a choice you get to make every day.
I don’t want to settle for another year of the same stuff. (as great as it was) I want to see something greater, and more beautiful than what I’ve experience last year.
I can feel there’s something brewing. I know God has me here for reason. I can feel it just around the edge. And I know two things that desperately need…
1) More of the Gospel
2) More people who won’t settle
Let me know if you want to join me.
