The past few weeks have
provided great incite for what we may experience when we return home.
We have been asked several common questions, such as,
“What are you doing after the race?”
or “What was your favorite country?”
We have also been asked several more in depth questions, like,
“What has GOD taught you?” and
“How are you going to be change agents, taking what you have learned
and applying it back to life at home?”
These conversations and
discussions have really made me come to the simple truth that instead
of returning with all the answers, I am actually returning with more
questions.
What a great place to be!
Our ministry here at Global
Cafe has allowed for many conversations to take place. As I was
talking with an individual the other day, I found that as we shared
our hearts with one another, we both had a lot of questions…
questions we don’t have answers for, and may not really understand,
but we are grateful that we do know where to find answers, and even
discover more questions.
I have realized that GOD
is not just a topic to study and memorize, but that HE is alive, waiting for us to come to him, to ask our questions, to study
HIS word and Truth, and to listen and trust in HIM.
As I have been preparing
to return home and enter this next season of life, I have been meditating
on 2 John 9, which states, Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue
in the teaching of Christ does not have GOD; whoever continues in the
teaching has both the father and the son.
I do not want to run ahead,
but continue walking with HIM!
I am content with the knowledge
GOD has revealed to me, thus far, and I praise HIM for the desire HE
has filled me with to seek HIM more. Therefore, I do not stand
still, stagnant with what HE has taught me, but eager to know HIM more,
to be open to any wisdom HE imparts, and thankful for the questions
I have.
on the firm foundation HE has created in me and I continue to learn
and grow in the midst of the questions.
