I found myself sweeping dust off the floor of a little red tool shed in the middle of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania this morning and wondering if this was gonna be my new "normal." To which i came up with the conclusion that my life is strange and wonderful. And i don't know what normal is. Is it normal to fly to a foreign country to pursue something so wildly impossible (such as a masters degree) because you have virtually no means to support yourself financially and won't even have a place to stay or have family around for love and support? I'm guessing it's not. But i just got appointed by a Christian non-profit organization called NETwork to be their volunteer Garden Director. And it's things like this that blows my mind. Because it's such a huge privilege to serve. And when you're floating around in a completely new environment where you're awkward and not sure how to act or talk or even dress, it makes the truth about GOD's sovereignty so much more real. Often times i would imagine myself being on the sidelines watching GOD orchestrate my world. I have no words to describe my amazement at the Lord's desire for me to be of use to himself. I mean, who am I anyway?
Held by GOD is who I am. And wherever HE desires to set me down and plant me, I will grow :)
