The Greatest Flight
This will be my first blog so no hating! Understood? Good.
So I’m at the age now where everyone is asking me what I’m going to do as far as job and future and et cetera. I used to struggle to find a good answer, something that the person I was speaking to would approve of and when I say “used to” that means from junior high to about a month ago. Honestly, I am tired of trying to find a career that requires you to go to college. Does that make sense? Meaning if you don’t go to college then you are wasting your life away and nothing good will ever happen to you just because you won’t put yourself in thousands of dollars’ worth of debt—-general idea from most. You get my point now? Most people think of a career as a teacher, doctor, veterinarian, dentist or whatever else. My thing is why can’t just living for Jesus be a career? Sounds good to me.
I have recently told a few lucky folks about this thought and the feedback wasn’t too hot. They all just think it isn’t realistic. What about money? Security? This? That? My thought process is that Jesus will provide. Jesus is my safe place. Joy, love, hope……all things that are a guarantee when it comes to Jesus. But, a normal job including all those things, ehhh I’m not too sure. I mean it is possible, I just don’t think it’s for me.
I just do not want a normal life. I’ve lived a pretty normal life so far and not that it isn’t fun and such, but I like the idea of a crazy, radical, one week here the next there, kind of life. I want my kids to grow up knowing Jesus, not finding him periodically throughout their lives whenever they must call upon him because they aren’t happy with their current situation. I’m not trying to say I don’t ever want a job, because I actually am currently employed! I am obviously going to have to do something for a bit. My heart is just really pulling me out of the mundane things in life!
For me, right now, it’s already hard to connect with Jesus every day. Distractions happen and they always will, but when I am completely and totally living my life for him it is never ending! I mean his love is already never ending……okay sometimes you just have to be inside my head to wholly understand what I am trying to get across.
Recently, I took a trip to North Carolina where the whole trip was about Jesus and just getting closer to him and grasping him with everything in you. I adored, adored, adored, that trip. It just felt so good to just be with Jesus and worship him continuously. I honestly feel like I never stopped being with Jesus the whole time. It was incredible! That’s what we are supposed to do anyways, right? Worship Him all the days of our lives. (Hah, isn’t that a soap show or whatever they are called?) That trip just put everything into perspective for me pretty much. I mean I still have doubts sometimes and I’m actually pooping my pants due to the fact that some of my family members will read this and decide to disown me. Remember the good times, people! But, what is a girl to do! I’m just trying to find my way in this world with Jesus by my side. Is that so wrong!?
