My D-House position is going away and i’m being replaced. One person will be the Administrative Assistant for Ethnic Ministries and another person will be the Secretary for Vocations. One of those has already landed and i’m bringing her up to speed. On Friday the other person landed. The second person needs a place to work and so on Friday i cleaned out my workspace and took all of my possessions to my car and put them in the trunk.
I had mixed feelings about that. My workspace at D-House is now no longer mine. It officially belongs to two other people now. I don’t have a space at D-House any more. That feels kinda wierd. I’m starting to feel very disconnected from D-House. I guess this is how i should feel as i am in the process of moving into a new role in The organization.
At the same time i don’t have a permanent workspace at the congregation i’m currently serving. When i come to work at the church i bring all that i need to work, including a computer and a phone. I pack in and pack it out everyday that i’m here. And now the same will be true of my D-House work. Every day i go there i will bring all i need to do my work. I’ll pack it in and pack it out.
The place where i live, of course, is a different story. Well actually it isn’t. Much of my stuff is in boxes. I’m beginning to box up even more stuff as i anticipate having to move when either of the congregations that is interested in me actually calls me. So i don’t feel like i have a permanent place anywhere right now. I feel very disconnected. I feel as if i’m floating around just waiting for a place to land.
