It feels good to be RUNNING in the grace of God.
There are a lot of places I could be and things that I could be doing this summer, but I can't imagine my heart being any more settled than it is right now, knowing I will be in Goa soon.
It's a weird sort of peace because there is so much I have to step out in faith about. I would think that with all of the uncertainties and all of the unknowns I am facing it would make me feel the opposite. But I think that since this was God's idea and His work of getting me this far, I would feel much more uneasy if I had chosen something on my own to do this summer.
I keep thinking about how life is so short and we only have one chance to live, really. What are we waiting around for? For our hearts to change themselves so we will feel more ready? For passions to be concocted out of nothing instead of being chased after and developed? For the "right opportunity" when everything looks smart and feels safe? I think we deaden our own faith because we steer clear of all the places where we need any faith at all.
Jesus is ALIVE and He's moving. He told us to love the least of these like we love Him. I'm taking Him seriously.
