The Crossroad — One Year Later
The Crossroad — One Year Later
It’s been about a year.
A year of writing.
A year of thinking.
A year of asking questions I didn’t used to ask.
A year of seeing things I didn’t see before.
🛤️ Standing at a Crossroad
And if I’m being honest…
this is what it feels like now.
A crossroad.
Not in a dramatic way.
Just… a quiet place where you stop for a minute and look around.
🔄 Looking Back
When I look back at where I started…
I can see the difference.
I was more intense.
More focused on figuring things out.
More caught up in what was right… and what wasn’t.
And I get why.
That was part of the process.
🌱 What That Year Did to Me
But something changed along the way.
I didn’t get louder.
I got quieter.
I didn’t get more certain about everything.
I got more at peace with not needing to be.
❤️ I See People Differently Now
That might be the biggest change.
I see people differently now.
People in the Church.
People outside the Church.
Family. Friends.
I don’t feel the same need to fix anything.
I just see people trying.
Doing the best they can.
🕊️ Less Pressure, More Peace
There’s less pressure now.
Less urgency to explain everything.
Less need to sort everything into clean answers.
And more peace.
👣 What I’m Actually Choosing
So here’s the crossroad.
Not:
“Which side am I on?”
Not:
“What do I believe about everything now?”
But something much simpler:
How do I want to live?
🌿 The Answer That Stayed
After everything…
this is what stayed for me:
I want to walk with Him.
🧭 Not a Big Decision — A Simple One
That might sound small.
But it’s not.
Because it quietly changes everything.
It means I don’t have to resolve every question today.
I don’t have to win any arguments.
I don’t have to convince anyone of anything.
❤️ What Matters Most Now
What matters now is simple:
Being present.
Loving my wife.
Showing up for my family.
Living honestly.
Staying close to Him.
🔄 What I’m Letting Go Of
I’m letting go of needing to control where all of this goes.
Letting go of needing to finish the story perfectly.
Letting go of trying to make everything fit.
🌅 This Isn’t an Ending
This isn’t really an ending.
It just feels like one chapter closing.
And another one… beginning quietly.
👣 If You’re at a Crossroad Too
If you’re standing in a place like this…
you don’t have to rush it.
You don’t have to pick a side in a big way.
You can just choose how you want to walk.
🕊️ Final Thought
One year later…
after everything I’ve written…
everything I’ve thought about…
everything I’ve worked through…
this is where I am:
Not with all the answers.
Not with everything figured out.
Just here…
choosing to walk with Him.
Going forward, I’ll still write — just a little quieter, a little less often, and more focused on simple study and what I’m learning.
