The Lutherans like that theology of vocation that says what you’ve been called to do is holy. Period. Singleness? Holy. Parenting? Holy. Tax attorney, care giving, Uber driving, lawn and garden? Whatever. Holy. Now go do it in a way that is amazing.

Some of my listeners have been with me through 3 or 4 job quits thus far. Today is either quit 4 or 5. I shall take this tie off. I shall celebrate. Celebrate with me. I’m a songwriter. As much as I fight it, that’s what I do.

Songwriters enter songwriting contests to help fill the God-shaped hole in our souls or whatever (tell me I’m good, oh gate keeper). But we know what it is: a $40 kick in the nuts.

My coworker found out I’m a songwriter and brought me a full sheet of lines and thoughts and lyrics. That she brought it and entrusted it to my care is amazing. I tried my best to honor her vision and write two songs from what she had. What a blessed thing to do.

You’re either making choices today to stay loyal to yourself from before, yourself of right now or the version of yourself you want to grow into. Hot take: you don’t owe yesterday you anything.

One of the reasons I love these posts is that they are snapshots of parents being great adults. Safe people, clear caregivers delighting in their children, showing up with space and grace enough to let kiddos explore and discover and try new things with love and encouragement.
