BE

Here I sit. Christmas break reflections. I am writing, thus learning.

Is this what life is, God? Oh, how I am learning.

The rocky start to my break between semesters forced me to see things God's way. I am a nomad. I am practicing before I go. I think I am all ready to go now now now, but God is whispering, "Wait." Oh, but me?! Wait?? I don't have patience. You're supposed to know everything about me God. Don't you know that I don't have patience? Can't you give me an easier task?

A pastor friend reminded me, not too many minutes ago, in a Skype message that the Lord is still working out in my life - where I am supposed to go. That's okay. It's in the works! I am not forgotten in the wayside. I am in the plan. The plan can't happen all at once.

Oh, how I'm learning.

To be at home where I am. To be at peace with imperfect circumstances.

to God, there is no one greater.
We belong to Him.

Even the sparrow...

Psalm 84:3
"Even the sparrow finds a home and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God."

Therefore, I don't need to fret about getting it all planned out on my own. God knows where I am right now. He knows where I am going to go when I graduate. He knows where I am going to be. And He is going to be with me.

BE. Such a small word, yet so powerful.

To sit and be. I am a masterpiece, yet I am a work in progress. I always will be. Be.

And so I pray:
Prepare my heart. Teach me to be a nomad. Help me to be.
