I have recently finished reading to my youngest the fifth Narnian chronicle, that of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader in which the end of the world is sought out. A lot of compelling moments throughout the book revolve around the fact that they don’t know exactly where they are going, only that it is east.
That is a great analogy for my life at the moment. Not only have all my attempts for the last three months to find gainful employment been without any real success, at least financially, but I continue to compare my current Anglicanism with the ideas and practices of those further East, those of the Orthodox church. I just am not sure where I am headed, but I am becoming convinced more and more each day that God is leading me somewhere and I await (with an anxious family) where that will be. I do know ultimately that the destination is the end of this world and into the next. Heaven awaits beyond the fog.
