Anyways, this past week was pretty crazy aside from that piece of news. I got back to NoVA at 10 AM on Saturday and found out I had a full day shift at the restaurant starting from 11:30 -____- it was pretty rough at first but through the grace of God I was able to power through the 10 hour work day. Sunday was more of the same off-beat feeling as I felt disconnected from what was going on in the ministry being away all week and was bombarded with unforeseen things all day. It felt surreal being home in Boston one moment and then all of a sudden being thrown right into the fray the next moment.
That night, I learned about some sort of supermoon lunar eclipse that had last happened 33 years ago. I got my tired butt to get off my bed to check out this rare spectacle and had the pleasure of watching it with a new friend. The weather forecast said it would be nearly impossible to watch it from the DC area but thankfully, the skies were remarkably clear for about 30 minutes as I watched the supermoon slowly eclipse. That night, I let the moment sink in. On September 27th 2015, I was in Centreville, VA with a unique opportunity to step back from the natural progression of my life and just live unshackled, serving the God who turns the moon red. A year from now, I will be living in Manhattan, NY, studying my butt off for my future career in a city with as much brokenness as there is excitement. By 2033 when this next supermoon eclipse happens, who knows where I will be? Who knows where everyone I care about will be? It was strange to think about, but I realized that regardless of the who, what, when, where, and why, as long as I was still with Christ, I would be alright. Just like He cleared the skies on a "nearly impossible" cloudy night to view the blood moon, He guides me in a life that would be completely impossible to navigate through without Him. God is my unfailing compass. Simple as that.
Stay Easy,
Will
