a few years ago, a friend and i almost started a day care. we had kids, we had a location, we had a name....we just didn't have the courage. it was a big step. a step we felt called to take, but like jonah, we didn't want to do it. our day care became our Ninevah and Camp Ninevah became the name of our non-existent day care. we didn't take that last step in starting the day care and that sent me on the path i'm walking today.
i find that i'm commonly walking a path i'm not really excited to be on. the concept of Ninevah seems to be a constant in my life. i regularly think 'i don't want to go there' or 'i don't want to do that.' i've never been swallowed by a giant fish as a consequence, but then i tend to stay away from large bodies of water as well. my consequences tend to be less visible to the outside world and more in the form of quiet, metaphysical slaps across the face. i'm tired of the slaps and i'm tired of the regular feeling of negativity about where my path is taking me. so i'm going to try things in Ninevah...or at least i'm going to try to eliminate some of the 'i don't want to' in my life by embracing the opportunities that come my way, but i'm sure to do some grumbling and stumbling along the way so it definitely won't be easy...or boring.
Ninevah, here i come!
