I think daily about my time away from the states next year. Yes, 11 months away from the country I have lived in for 26 years seems like a change… A big one. Don’t get me wrong. I have been out of the country before and I love it!

But, I would bet… most people that know me well would not describe me as a “nomad.” I grew up in North Carolina, went to college in North Carolina, currently am living in North Carolina… up to this point I have kind of…settled down in one location… THE SOUTH.

This lack of moving certainly demonstrates little nomadic – like qualities.


But, does God want me to be settled right now? I am not really sure I understand the whole “settled” thing. People (including myself) sometimes say, ” I just want to be settled.” So, once your settled… then what?

Am I going to be a perfect Nomad next year? I’m guessing far from perfect.

Will I be a Nomad forever? Probably not.

Did I ever think the Lord would ask me to wander throughout His Kingdom? I’m pretty surprised – but thrilled!


WILL I GO ON HIS BEHALF and SERVE HIM and HIS PEOPLE while learning to embrace the Nomadic lifestyle of following Christ?

YES — OF COURSE!


I trust He will teach me to be a great nomad along the way!

Jesus is worth it…
 

“But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

I choose life… even life as a nomad.

What life do you choose?
