I am so restless.
I know that getting a degree is important. It's very important. However, I can't help but feel that I'm not living my life right now. Not really living.
I haven't driven across the United States yet.
(And when I do, I will stop at every 'Elvis Shaped Burger' and 'Largest Pickle!' diner there is!)
I haven't been to Zambia yet like these sweet friends of mine.
I haven't been skydiving yet.
I haven't been backpacking across Europe. Well, I have been to Europe, but we drove everywhere. I want to get a huge backpack and ride night trains to places.
God truly gave me a heart of adventure and I view the world with the eyes of a child. I want to explore all of the things He gave us! I want to climb the tallest mountains and then repel back down. I want to surf in Hawaii and I want to live here and there.
It's all in God's timing though, which is something I am struggling to grasp. One day I will go to Zambia and help the sweet people. One day I will go back to Europe. One day I will drive across the United States. And hopefully, one day I will look back on my life and know that I truly lived it to the fullest.
"But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."-Isaiah 40:31
i feel the same way sometimes. someday - someday! - we will get to return and explore these places we love and want to know.

ReplyDeleteYou are a woman after God's heart! I am always so encouraged by your posts. You're an amazing young lady and I know that if I can see it, God absolutely sees it as well. These years are tough, but some of the best you'll have! I want you to know that I pray for you regularly and I truly believe that God will lead you down this path you seek!
