A few months ago -it seems like yesterday!- I discovered that being a gypsie is not necessarily a bad thing. January and Februrary brought amazing provision as I began making a home for myself. March, on the other hand, rolled in, bringing with it once again the longing of my now fully gypsied soul for adventure, for greener grasses, and for excitement. My job had taken a slow spin since I was not yet fully trained and ready for all my coming assignments. Other circumstances in my life were having me wonder if I was in the right place, if I belonged to something "greater," if I should be still searching for home. Opportunities for "more exciting" jobs seemed to run through my inbox; a realization of friends leaving and moving on to the next step in life was hitting me with full force and brutality; and suddenly having options for which Masters to pick became an unsolveable dilemna. I was restless. I needed "adventure." I wanted something "greater." I didn't want to let go of friendships and watch God work in their lives in other places.
Last weekend, though, I was able to take a little getaway trip. Even though it was for academic purposes, God used it to completely shift my perspective. I LOVE IT when He does that!
- My home is where His heart is. It's as simple as that! I need to look no further. Where He has placed me is where I belong.
- Naturally, people come and go. My job is to make the most of my time with them, no matter how long or short it is, to be a blessing to them, to enjoy every moment.
- My life IS an adventure in and of itself -if I let God take control and if I live my life fully. I don't need to travel the world, take the Gospel to foreign lands, or open a tradepost in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Here. Now. Today. Is when God's adventure calls me.
So I created a new motto...
Not aimless wanderings but ADVENTURE. Not mindless obsessions but PASSION.
What's next? I'M READY!
