I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing
I am where I want to be
Yet I’m not
I’m in a bumpy car
In India
On the way to a village
“Get out sister”
Jump
Go
Move your things
No not there
Here
I’m on the world race
Doing what I want to be doing
But I’m not
So many things are controlled
What I can wear
What I can’t
I’m supposed to be flexible
In all ways
When a host tells you to jump you’re supposed to say how high
But it makes me want to crawl in my tent
7 months in-less than 5 to go
I don’t want to go home
But I don’t want to be here
It’s this weird in between
What is your dream?
Are you living it?
Is it not what you expected?
Or are you at a bump in the road?
Maybe you’re on an Indian road that has 24 bumps in a row.
Maybe there’s one every now and again.
Keep going.
Keep running your race.
Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.
Look at the scars on his hands.
They’re there because of you.
Because we sin time and time again.
Jesus took on our sins in his flesh to save us
Jesus was on a bumpy road when he walked this earth. A very bumpy one. One that led him to the cross with nails in his hands.
He bled.
He saved us.
He had wounds.
His hands healed, but the scars are still there.
The bumps in the road may lead to wounds.
Thats okay. If you run to Jesus he will heal them-maybe not when or how you expected, but they will scar.
A scar is proof of the battle.
Proof of the bumps.
The struggles.
But they are healed.
Maybe you’re on a bumpy road in India.
Or you’re on a smooth one in America.
Bumps will happen but what matters is how you bounce back.
Stay on the road Jesus wants you on.
If you’re on the wrong road-take a u turn.
But don’t just turn around because the road is bumpy.
Don’t quit. Keep moving forward.
Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.
He’s got you & can help you handle any & every bump in the road.
