After full-time employment for almost 26 years, retirement day is only 35 days away. Although I have dreamed of this day, I must say the uncertainty of "life after work" is a bit daunting. Why would a perfectly sane person give up the security of a paycheck and benefits in the midst of one of the worst recessions in recent history? Hmmmm....still not quite sure about that yet.
I have felt the pull of faith to "step out of the boat" like Peter in the Bible. Sometimes it's easy to get comfortable with the ordinary-ness of life while longing for something more. I want more...more of life...a deeper walk with my Savior, Jesus Christ...a closer relationship with my husband...and some precious memories with my grandchildren. As Sarah in Sarah Plain and Tall says, I "want to make a difference."
