I had memorized Psalm 16 (\u201cI have set the Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.\u201d) and Galatians 2:20, (\u201cI have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me\u201d).<\/p><p>But I struggled to see these truths take root in my life.<\/p><p>One lonely evening, I sat outside of my office feeling particularly discouraged and trapped. I wanted more out of life, but I didn\u2019t know what I was really searching for. I asked a fellow candidate this question: \u201cWhat do you think is the greatest thing that could ever happen to you?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p><p>We were sitting on an old leather couch in the common area outside our offices in the English department. What would she say? What would I have said? Was she thinking about marriage and children? Was she thinking about a Nobel Prize?&nbsp;<\/p><p>She looked at me carefully and answered, \u201cTo get a research article published.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p><p>I nodded my head in acknowledgment of her answer. Then because I didn\u2019t say a word and the silence was probably uncomfortable, she added, \u201cI guess I don\u2019t really know.\u201d We were sad; both of us looked at our shoes, and although nobody spoke, I think we both knew we were somehow missing out on a grander story. We knew that publication in an academic journal would matter in some ways, but saying that it answered the question of what the best thing might be suddenly seemed ridiculous.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7419d9f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7419d9f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05afa75\" data-id=\"05afa75\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30f4338 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"30f4338\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Would Publication Be Our Only and Greatest Legacy?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9d404dd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9d404dd\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fb3372c\" data-id=\"fb3372c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5eb8c47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5eb8c47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In those years, God kindly led me to reconsider my life purpose. It took two years for me to process this. Eventually I came to realize that God created me to know him, follow him, and be part of his plan to redeem and bless the world. The avenue for me doing this was teaching, research, and writing\u2014yes, even about 19th Century British lyric poetry, in particular Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The greatest thing that could happen to me\u2014the grander story\u2014was that I might abide in Jesus and could participate in whatever God was doing on this earth to bring glory to himself. That marvelous story meant that every day in the English department was about Jesus orchestrating divine encounters to advance kingdom purposes.<\/p><p>Suddenly, my little kingdom of publishing and college teaching bowed to the magnificence of God\u2019s grand design to include me, with my gifts and talents, in his redemptive plan. I still loved all my research, teaching, and courses, but now they shimmered with the glory of God\u2019s purposes in these places. They became sacred spaces; teaching was a sacred vocation; research began an unearthing of God\u2019s design in my topic; my courses were holy sites, a place to appropriately search for ways God\u2019s truth might permeate the darkest literary theory that set itself up against the knowledge of God.&nbsp;<\/p><p>This was the grander story I wanted to be a part of.&nbsp; This is the grander story I want my life to tell.&nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b898fbb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b898fbb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-526a342\" data-id=\"526a342\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ab6640 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ab6640\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Heather Holleman and Rick Hove<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I [Heather], while a Ph.D. student in English literature at the University of Michigan, struggled to understand a grander story beyond my own narcissistic ideas of what earning that degree would mean for my story.
