Through this blog I have been sharing this journey that I am on.
I do not know where God is taking me. I know that a few years ago my life was turned inside out. As I have yielded myself to this journey – God has taken me farther and farther away from the security that I craved. He is stretching me farther than I knew I could go. He is changing the desires of my heart. I no longer view life in the same way. I find myself listening to music I would never have heard with ears that used to lean toward the familiar voices. I drive down streets in neighborhoods I would never have travelled with a heart that was set on my own direction. I see people with different eyes – truly see them.
God is shaking my world. There are days when I think I will wake up and find myself on the other side of the world. And there are days when I think I already am. I am attempting to learn a new language. I had a goal at the beginning of this year to learn Italian – something from my heritage, my roots. Instead I am learning Zo. Most of you have probably never even heard of this language. Neither had I a month ago. And now I have pages of notes written in a notebook stuck in my purse. Zo is one of the languages of the Chin people of Burma. Coincidentally, I would not have been able to show you Burma on a map a
month ago either. But here I am – with new friends from a place I have never touched. And new words from a language I had never heard.
I will be completely vulnerable here and tell you that I am terrified of what God is doing in me. I am not sure what He is calling me to. Perhaps He is just calling me outside of myself. I am going to let go of the
reins and see what happens.
I choose to be surrendered. I choose to be present in each moment. And I choose to be intentional as I walk this road.
