I’m ready to go.
For the past few weeks, my heart has been telling me it’s about time to go. Time to leave. Time to move on with life.
I’m getting anxious. Restless. Impatient.
I’m ready to leave. Ready to leave this life behind. Leave Seattle behind.
I’m ready to go. To Africa. To Asia. To someplace I’ve never been. To a place where I don’t know the language or the people. To where I’m out of my comfort zone. To a place where I completely rely upon God.
I’m getting too comfortable. Life here is too normal. Too routine. And I can’t handle it.
I know that if I go now…there is no coming back to this place. My heart wouldn’t let me. And oddly enough, I’m okay with that.
My heart wants to go. Go change the world. But God’s telling me to stay here for now.
So I’ll wait. Wait until He says I can go. And until then, my heart will be restless.
go girlllllllllllllll go…:)

Yup. That’s pretty much what my heart is telling me right now. I’m just waiting for the timing.

Mandie! We MUST hang out SOON! This is exactly how I feel too, just like you said on my blog!
“I know that if I go now…there is no coming back to this place. My heart wouldn’t let me.”
I know that feeling. I know that when God calls me away from Seattle that I won’t come back. But I am being told to wait as well. I think it’s kind of like Paul. He was in the desert for 3 years before God had him go on his missionary journeys. He must have been so anxious as well! This is our desert period where we are falling more in love with our Savior so that when the time comes, we will be ready in every way to serve Him to our full potential.
