Hey Guys, I am a little behind on my blogs…..I have few swimming around in my head and I will be posting a few more soon that are more up to date….This is one that I wrote on the way to Bangokok…..
I am on my way to Bangkok! Bangkok! When I think about it literally I am completely stunned. Is this real? Is this really my life right now?? How did I get here? This is so stinkin amazing! I am going to 9 differnt countries all over the world! I think that after saying those words so many times, what they actually mean has somehow been diluted. It is here. I am on a plane headed to Bangkok! Not only am I heading to Bangkok when I get there I will begin, finally, the commision I was created for. The comfort that I feel just by knowing that I am in His will is overwhelming. For the first time ever I am so sure that I am exactly where He wants me. This realization and His peace has made it so unexpectantly easy to give up so much of what is familiar to me. I haven’t really cried once. Me, the biggest cry baby ever, has yet to cry. I just left my family, my friends, and my home, yet I am not sad. Maybe its because I can’t really grasp how long a year is, or the extremity of what I just stepped into. I don’t know, but somehow the thoughts that come up about these things always lose out to the thoughts of all that I will see, do, learn, experience, and die to this year. I guess the excitement of the possibilities, spoken by a true optimistic, always out weigh the grief of what I am leaving behind.
Thank you Jesus for your calling and the peace that you give in following you.
Come, follow me,” Jesus said, ” and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him. Mathew 4:19-20
