I always love having my blogs titled with a question. I’ve got you hooked.. don’t I?!
I have mentioned before about the ‘I’m on the World Race’ feeling I am pretty sure. If you are wondering// haven’t read my blogs before, that feeling of leaving my life behind in the states and being like oh wow I don’t have a home. Well, I haven’t gotten that feeling yet. I am almost half way done with month 2 and nope, nothing.
My mentor, Ashley, asked me at debrief how was I feeling and all of me wanted to have an actual feeling. I am feeling overwhelmed, excited, sad, or what ever, but all I could come up with was.. normal.
I feel normal. I feel like I’m at home, even though I don’t technically have a home. I feel content. Nothing more. Nothing less. Normal.
Why?
I think it says a lot about the fact of following what the Lord has for your life. There have been so many times in the past few years where if someone were to ask me how I was feeling, I probably would have said depressed or bored.
My favorite bible verse ever is Psalm 37:4
“Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
I used to think if I loved God, that he would give me the things in life I wanted. I saw him as this magician instead of I don’t know.. My father??
What this verse now means to me is that if I delight in the Lord, his desires will become my desires. This is EVERYTHING. If my heart alines with his, we will want the same things.
That is word gold you guys.
I really believe that this is the reason why I feel so natural here. This is what he wants for my life and I want what the Lord wants.
I just think it is hilarious that when we actually are stepping in to what the Lord wants for our life, that life gets better. I am not bored with life. I actually love life. Yeah, things get hard, but it is all worth it.
Is there something in your life that the Lord is calling you towards? Most likely yes. Step into that. Don’t push it off. Life gets sooo much better when we step into the uncomfortable or unknown.
Do it. Make the leap. Take the jump. You’ll come to find out that following the Lord (even though people might think you’re crazy or radical) is actually the best feeling ever. You actually feel like life makes sense. You feel I don’t know.. normal.
