"My mind is spinning" was first a phrase I started using when stuck trying to speak a foreign language for longer than normal, or when I had Spanish class right after German class for a few months in college.
Now it means I have a lot to think about, and that is definitely the case right now. I've been going to Highrock Church the past 6 weeks and it has my mind spinning faster than it has in quite some time. First by way of the "Stories" series on Sunday mornings in combination with a short course on telling your story in light of God's larger more important story. This was quickly followed by a retreat for recent grads on the relationship between work and faith. Learning how to be who God wants you to be and grow his Kingdom in the context of your work is no simple matter. Most recently was a course on finances, which is a topic near and dear to my heart but about which I have much to learn.
I think all three of those topics address related issues for me from different angles. Coupled with the major transition of moving cities and starting full time work, the question of the day is "What does living as a Christian look like for me today, tomorrow, and what might it look like in 10 or 20 years?"
Bahh, so much to think about, but all I want to do is work, eat, and sleep. I think this is healthy though.
