Normalcy?

I have been wrestling with a really hard concept over the past semester and now I finally feel like God is saying "yes I see that and I'm going to do something BIG". What I've been wrestling with- the fact that I don't what to live a normal life, I want to live a life completely and fully devoted to the Lord. I want to make His Kingdom known. I want people to know the Savior of the World, the one who saved my life, and for those people have a personal relationship with him and know his peace, love, and that healing is truly found in His hands.

The World wants us to live the American dream. The perfect house with a white picket fence, money is never an issue, and everybody is happy all the time. Well that just simply is not ever going to happen. Nobody's life is perfect and Crap happens. People deal with difficult stuff that most of the time they hide. I want to show people that God can heal that stuff. In Him you can live in complete freedom.

So I have no clue what this looks like for me. But God will work that out. All I know is that practical is not always right. I know this is really hard for our generation to hear. From the time we were young its been drilled into our heads that we will work hard in school go to college and have a good job so we can make good money and be happy. Anyone who doesn't go to college is seen as unsuccessful. But if I've learned anything in my first year of college it's that everyone's life is not going to look the same. Some people will do YWAM, some people will get married young, and others will become a doctor. God has a different plan for everyone. That's what's so awesome about Him, our God is not a boring God.

All I know is that I'm willing for God to use me. I'm sure there will be times where I am out of my comfort zone but that's ok because it is in those times that we grow and learn.

So.. Here's to a life lived for the King of Kings. Because there is no other life worth living.

Keep on Loving God and Loving Others.
