It’s Time To Take Off The Training Wheels

It's a beautiful day in Knoxville. I'm sitting on the screened deck behind my in-law's house in a large suburb of this college town. The football game is over, I have no idea who won, the girls decided to go shopping, and now everything is quite. Mattie (the dog) is laying below my feet waiting for me to finish. I'm savoring these last few moments of stillness.

Tomorrow I fly to Columbus, OH for the start of The Revolve Tour, and the start of the whirlwind that will be the next few months. I'll be traveling for about 75% of the next month, and for about 50% of the months after that. During the few days I have at home we plan to close on a house, move, and hopefully start settling in. I remember in college how I thought that if I could just get to the end of the semester then everything would be OK, well I'm not in college anymore, and I'm starting to think that the pressures I experienced there were just the training wheels for the rest of my life. I already have something scheduled for every single weekend until the beginning of next year. God has been good to us, and it's wonderful that he's providing me work right now during a time when so many others are struggling, but now I'm going to need some grace and strength to pull through it.

Kind of like college, I think that when I look back in a few years I'll probably only remember the good parts, and I like it that way. Let the whirlwind begin!
