profound revelations

ok, now that I got your attention here's a little something I thought about this week. So since my last post I have been feeling a new sense of God around me. I've felt as though my eyes have been opened once again. Seeing God's upside down kingdom everywhere. Then one day (Monday to be specific) I felt as though it left. The difference was night and day, and I really wondered what happened. So I searched my brain (which took quit sometime) and can now pinpoint the exact moment something changed (weird huh?)


It happened on a Sunday at church (kinda ironic). I was watching this slide show of a ladies orphanage in India. I saw the most beautiful kids and my heart melted. I thought about how I wanted to get on a plane and go there right now. I should be mother Theresa. I want to go take care of kids with no parents. The mother of the motherless... you get the point.



What I later realize was at that very moment something switched in my heart. It was a subconscious thing. I'm sure you can already see what happened, but I'll go on anyway...

Something happens inside us/me when we think we should be somewhere else. When we don't live in the present day as chosen by God and exactly where we are supposed to be. An even bigger something happens when we think that at another time we will then be fulfilled/complete.




If you can't find "it" where you are now, you'll never find "it".



"It" is in you, "it" is all around you. It's actually not just out of reach. Even though it's simpler to believe so.


PS: I'm still sending custom made bracelets to all the girls in the orphanage.

Hi Raquel, I really appreciated this post. I know I'm reading it quite a while after the fact - but nonetheless. So apt for me to hear right now. Thank you for sharing.
