"In these past few days, when I've seen myself.
I've seemed like someone else."

I am the same. Everybody else is the same. But circumstance has changed us all.
I find that I am the same person that I was one month ago. But I relate to everybody, with my mother only exempt, differently. I am caught in a year that has taken me off guard. Busy with all manner of jobs and duties, I find myself reacting to a diverse crowd. Some of the same friends, some new friends... and some very old friends. But exactly not the people I would have guessed I'd be reacting to.

I have found myself again this year. Called up to several tasks at once, I find myself in several leadership roles where I was in none only a dozen measly monthes ago.... leading a youth group.... organizing watchdawgs.... finding paths and people for Disciples on Campus...
How all of this came together at one time is beyond me. I am booked but never over booked. I am busy but never paniced.

I hesitate to be to swift in blaming God, he seems to take too much grief for things that he obviously didn't do. But there is something perternatural about my schedual now, and the people to whom I communicate. They are almost, but not completely, the antithesis of those to whom I thought I would be conversing with.
