So, my time is almost up in Europe, and I really feel in my heart that I may not return for a long while. Though i love missions, I don't think long term missions overseas will be in my near future. I know it's not all about feelings, but I feel this need to be home, in the states. I want to pursue dreams, and see how all the passions of my heart come together, and work together. There is a quote by Soren Kierkegaard in a book i'm reading that says "Now, with God's help, I shall become myself". I really love that. And becoming "myself" will be a lifelong journey, one I know I have been on since the beginning, but that self, that I long for, can only be found in the person God made me to be.
I'm reading "Reaching for the Invisible God" by Phillip Yancy, and it is about our desire to see God, and understand Him, and the doubts that come when searching for an invisible God that we cannot see, or touch, or whose voice we cannot hear. I have really enjoyed reading it, and have found comfort in reading other people's stories. Though I have heard God's voice in that still small whisper to my spirit, It's in the times of quiet, that remembering His words to me keep my faith alive. His words have been the sweetest words ever spoken to me, bringing with them love, hope and life. I can never forget them, no matter how difficult things may get.
That is why they say, remember.
