Recently one afternoon I was helping with construction with a new church here in Romania. It is in its bones state with dust, nails, concrete everywhere. So my teammate and I spent about two hours with the clean up of the sanctuary. While I was cleaning it hit me, I am so weird! In that moment I began to analyze my journey and how I got here. Not just that but I also started to take an outsiders look on my life looking in.
Here I am in Romania. I am here because God sent me. Now from an outsiders perspective I gave up my nice comfy life at home, moved halfway around the world to clean up this building meant to serve someone I had never met face to face. How weird! Looking in I pray feverishly to thin air, smile constantly and have this obnoxious joy. I have an unusual sense of peace and grace in my life and the future. I have this strange obsession wanting everyone to know my Dad and His love for them. I’m crazy in love with my imaginary friend. My Dad that lives inside us has powers to heal the sick and raise the dead?! That is all pretty strange stuff looking in. Oh. But it gets even weirder. This friend that lives up in the air and I have a insanely close relationship with. I base 100% of my life on His guidance and love for me. He is a living breathing tidal wave to any despair, pain, or trouble that comes my way. This God character gives me authority to conquer any enemy and their foothold on me. Nothing I can do will make Him love me more and there is nothing I can do that will make Him love me less?! Weird.
Okay Okay.. I get the idea. I am undeniably strange. My lifestyle depicts the complete opposite of what the world tries to shape me. But hey.. I know like I know like I know. God’s love is an unmistakable great roar.
No matter how weird it looks on the outside, let me tell you its a beautiful faith on the inside. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Dancing in one of the busiest intersections in all of Honduras for my Dad’s glory. Not weird at all..
God’s love is shown in all sorts of ways… or in this case, faces.
God knows you needs some weird companions to help you along the way.
