that's a question i have been getting lately.
every time i tell people about this crazy journey i am going on.
i started getting it so much, that it put a little doubt in my heart. why are you doing this whitney? why are you leaving your comfort, your family, the church you love? why are you doing this?
and the answer was, and always is…
for jesus.
he died for me.
is anything he asks too much?
leave my family. yeah that's going to be hard.
leave my comfortable bed, sell my car, let my lease go on the apartment I love…
not so much.
because in the end. it's people that matter most. to us. and to God.
and if he asks me to travel the world…and tell people about Him…and share His love…and the difference He has made in my life.
well, i am going to do it!
he reminded me the other day, in his quiet way, "it wasn't so long ago that you were asking me to put you in the fight. you didn't want to sit on the bench. you wanted to get put in the game. now I am putting you in. are you not ready my daughter? were those not true words you spoke to me? were those just wild declarations of a love that is not there?"
i was struck by his questions. because as always, he was right. i have asked multiple times, lord put me in the fight! it is in my journal. it is in my prayers. i remember.
so i thanked him.
and i went home to my comfortable bed, heart hurting for those who don't have one.
and i know, that i am doing the right thing.
my God asked me to.
