We are all yearning for something. We are all searching for something. We want to feel complete, we want to feel whole, and to find this people will go to great lengths and try many things to find out what will fill the empty gap. We search all over, we go wherever we can because where we are,
We continue hunting and believe that we are never going to be good enough or amount to anything until we find exactly what we are looking for. But how can we search for something in so many places if we don’t even realize what we are looking for. Are we looking for love, comfort, responsibility, to be useful, to be needed, to be content? There are countless things that we could be looking for. Can all of these things be placed into one category? Is there one being out there that can make us complete? Do we really need all that we think we need?
this from the people we see everywhere we are going, I see this in the
people that I am traveling with, I see this in myself. They are all
different forms of searching, some searching can lead down dark roads, some leads
to roads of light.
Sometimes we get the feeling that the battle is to hard and we just want
to give in. There are lies out there that can pull us down, but there is truth that stands above those lies. If we seek the truth the darkness will be blown away. We will find what we are looking for but sometimes we need to stop looking for answers and just let life happen. There is something that is calling me to more. You were
made for more than this, you can’t stop now there is so much more that
I want to show you. If we are looking to hard for the
answers we miss the thing that is right in front of us.
I want to show you who you were created to be. I want to show you how strong you are. I want to show you where you are weak. I am going to take you through times that make you cry out. To make you reach the point where you can’t do it on your own. You can’t do this alone. You must walk with me. So then you will know that I am with you, always.
This month has already been a month of battle, just coming into this month was a battle. During this time I have already been made me stronger. It has made me realize there has always been something greater right beside me, protecting me all along. I overlooked it and didn’t realize I ran to it all the time.
How could I not see this before? The times when I sit up on the hills and look out, when I sit on the beach in awe, when I see the clouds in the air and stars at night, or the ground from a plane. This is when I sit in peace and know.
When in those moments I may not have always realized that I will just sitting and gazing into comfort. A place that was so much deeper than I thought, a place where I knew I was safe. I was protected and being watched over. I now know why I was and am drawn to those places.
reading this blog took me right back to my brokenness – Welcome to Patong.
Now reading back through it and realizing what was happening. It is not just one time that I walk through times like this but multiple times, times when I just want to step out of what is going on and find comfort. When going through times like those, it seems like they go on forever. At the end of those times I find myself more secure, full of joy, and strengthened. I wanted to post this now because it is real. Every time I go through times like that I realize there is less questioning and more trusting.
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones.”
-Proverbs 3:5-8
Live in the Love.
