It Was Worth It
“So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions.” -Luke 14:33
32 years ago I moved to Chicago to attend seminary. It wasn’t something I particularly wanted to do. But in my heart I knew I needed to.
I wanted to answer my calling and live my purpose. But I also wanted to live my life. So, I went to school full time, and worked full time.
Got myself promoted. Got a real nice place too. But working 50-60 hours a week, and going to school full time, and the four hour round trip commute on school days…
As the new school year approached, I knew I had to make a choice. I gave my notice and quit my job. I gave up my lease. I called Good Will and gave away everything that couldn’t fit in a car.
No job. No money. No place of my own. A grown man in a little dorm room. I had to give it all up to get to the place I was supposed to be, to become who I was supposed to be, to find the work I was supposed to do.
I gave up everything I thought was important to me at the time. It was worth it.
