I love the work!

In her book "This Time I Dance" Tama Kieves says “Where you find your natural exuberance, you will find security.” That seems so counter intuitive to everything I have ever been taught. Where you find a steady paycheck, you will find security. Where you find an area with shortages, you will find security. Those are the things we are taught by well meaning people. Yet I know that I feel more secure in doing what I love than I ever did teaching. Michael and I often talk about if we will ever retire or not. I can't see myself not doing this-teaching, writing,speaking, ministering-in some way, shape or form. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to get up and do what I love to do every morning. My desire is that everyone has the same experience. The world would be an incredibly happy place if we were doing the work that we were created to do.

Tama comes on Sunday to share herself and her story with us. I love being able to bring people in to share their experience and wisdom with us. It is amazing how hearing one simple idea from someone who actually practiced it can change live. This is the best!
