Scooting Towards the Edge.

I've noticed a trend.

My roommates tend to move overseas.

I'm 3 for 3.

First, my sister moved to England as a missionary. Then, my friend, Carrie, followed Jesus to France to be a missionary. Now, my friend and roommate Megan is planning and going to Taiwan to teach English and spread the Word of God.

Seeing all of these wonderful orchestrations of God makes me anxious for my turn. The best way to express how I feel is through David Crowder's song 'Forever & Ever." Here are some of the lyrics.

"I think I'm on the brink of something large
Maybe like the breaking of the dawn
Maybe like a match being lit
Or the sinking of a ship, letting go gives a better grip

I'm finding everything I'll ever need
By giving up gaining everything
Falling for You for eternity
Right here at Your feet
Where I wanna be
I am Yours"

I've had the feeling lately that something monumental is waiting for me to turn the corner. I need to give up a few things in order to make that turn.

While I press on towards the goal (Philippians 3:12-21) God is teaching me patience, self control and discipline. He's revealing new truths about Himself and truths about who I am in Him and about my future in Him.

I thank God that He's not going anywhere and that He's here for the long run. I thank Him for His steadfast and patient love. I thank Him that He has something large in store for me.

Here I am, raising my glass to that glorious tomorrow!
