When my squadmate talked about writing a blog about obedience’s, my heart rate immediately went from normal to jumping out of my chest!
Lately, I have been thinking about how much I am going to miss out on certain things when I leave in July. (Yeah, I know it’s only January.) One being, not able to attend my best friend’s wedding and so many other important things. It makes my heart hurt and I don’t like to think about it.
Luke 9:62 says “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
God asked me to give up everything to follow Him at any cost. So I am giving up my comfortable life for 11 months, so that He can take me on this adventure that is so much greater than the things I will miss. So I thought I was fully obeying what the Lord has asked of me. Wrong. I wasn’t. He doesn’t want me to look back and dwell on the things I am going to miss. He wants me to be focused on Him and Him only. He is worthy of my complete trust and obedience.
So I am looking to the now and letting Him guide my heart in the right direction. I am fully committing to obey Him with this journey He has me on. I know I will continue to face obstacles one after another, but I know my God is greater..
