Seth’s World View

Had a good talk with Mitch and Torgun this past week. It looks like Summitview is going in a good direction, one I would embrace were I to stay. And while I have been uncertain about my place in the Rock, I am encouraged by what I’ve seen the past few weeks. Thus, I could stay in Colorado and have a good job, a great place to live, meaningful involvement in church, and lots of mountains.

That said, I am going to follow my heart back to Pennsylvania, believing that God put the desire in my heart to return. There’s nothing rational about the decision to leave paradise (comparatively speaking). Yet, of all the places in the US that I could call home, my heart is in PA. The closer to reality it gets, the more I realize what I have to leave behind. Sigh.

This quote by Alan Cohen really struck me this week: “It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.”

So, I embrace the new, though in a sense, it is the old. Yet, upon leaving the old, it will never be how I left it, nor will I be how I left, thus everything is new. Let the journey continue…
