I have a purpose. Ultimately, as a follower of Christ, I am called to make disciples. Of all nations.
What I'm really struggling with is how I can best get there from here (college).
I wrote the previous post in my journal on Sunday night. In the two days since then, I've already felt more at peace about it. I'm still in the throes of the big decision, but I'm still breathing. My heart's still beating. Nothing and nobody can provide peace like Jesus.
See we're not alone
He makes Himself known
In time, His own time
So breathe
Life will surprise you
Just be
It's what the world denies you
You see
The truth is all around you
Believe.
(From Brandon Heath's song "Beauty Divine")
Peace in.

Dear friend Grant... I hear and feel that struggle. It's a home-hitter for sure. Know that I am praying for you.
ReplyDeleteP.S. When I think about how far I am from where God is calling me sometimes, I remember these words from Jesus:
"Don't begin by traveling to some far-off place to convert unbelievers. And don't try to be dramatic by tackling some public enemy. Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables... Don't think you have to put on a fund-raising campaign before you start. You don't need a lot of equipment. YOU are the equipment..."
--Matthew 10:5ish-10ish
(it's The Message version, so I'm not entirely sure what the exact reference is).
Peace and Blessings, amigo!
