Upon embarking on this adventure around the globe I assumed I would finish having gained more knowledge, understanding, and answers. Primarily hoping to have learned more about the world, myself, and God……but ultimately hoping for revelation about what God wants me to do with my life. But alas, here I am a few months shy of completion and I am continually swimming in questions.
Welcome to my “what ifs”…
Fortunately this not the end of the story. I recognize that my “what ifs” come from a place of fear: fear of the unknown. However, I also recognize that there is so much that I don’t and was never intended to know. I am BEGINNING to learn about how wonderful the mysteries of God truly are, and despite my inability to actually grasp who he is and why he does what he does, I am learning to love him more and more.
I believe that God hears our questions and answers them. But, what if God’s answer looks different than what we thought? How will we react then? I hope that I will…
Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Proverbs 3:5 (Message)
