The Lord is calling me to obey, and to live radically for Him with reckless abandon. The passion inside me grows every day. I can’t even really explain it to anyone, because it’s almost too much for me to grasp. Every day the Lord shows me a new reason to serve, or reminds me of the Great Commission. My heart is breaking for the lost, hungry, and broken. I know I need to serve where I am at also…but I don’t want to disobey and miss the Lord’s calling for my life.
It’s so hard to live in a place where so many people are comfortable just being safe and comfortable, living a mediocre life. I don’t want to live a safe life. As a Christian, I’m not called to live a “safe” life. I am called to live a bold life. Life is short, and I can’t justify living a life centered around myself, my school, a career, etc. Those things will all fade away.
I don’t know where I am supposed to go, or what I’m supposed to do. But, I can’t ignore this burning calling.
I honestly can’t believe how dramatically the Lord has changed my heart over the past several years. He continues to present me with new challenges that completely change what I ever used to think – it’s amazing. I used to think that I would never want to be a missionary, and I also never wanted to live overseas. Well that certainly changed when he told me to go live in Italy. But, I don’t know that this time the opportunity will fall in my lap the same way. I think that I have to take a step of faith. I need to walk in obedience to his calling for me as a Christian – and that is to go out and make disciples.
