Highway To The Danger Zone

Paralyzed by adventures….

This post is a continuation of what i was just writing about, there is just a flow from one into another subject, I thought that I should break them up since the last post was probably too long in itself.

After I got back from my trip I must admit I was pretty bummed for a week or so. Just because I went from adventure and something new everyday, back to the same ol’ same ol’. Which brings me to this thought…..

Are we supposed to be doing the same ol’ same ol’. Going to work everyday, doing homework everynight? Does it make sense? I wrestle with it all the time, do my days matter? Why do we go to work everyday? In my head I make the argument that it is because we have to be responsible and pay bills etc… Making myself to this world around me. I mean how crazy would I look to people, people close to me, even my family if I woke up tomorrow, quit my job, didn’t finish my last semester of school and just took off somewhere with what I had. Living adventure, not knowing where food was going to come from, not really knowing where I was going to sleep. Meeting people and telling them about Jesus. How nuts would I look?

I wrestle with thoughts of this all the time. Am I wasting my life by being responsible right now? Or will it pay off and I just need to be patient and let life unfold? Will me having a degree really help me spread the good news more effectivly, or is it just something I am doing? Perhaps I am being unresponsible by even thinking that those things are unimportant? I really dont know and just pray that Gods will for my life unfolds just how He would like.  I do believe that is it for the time. But if anyone who comes across this has any insight or thought to this feel free to comment, I would love to know what you think about this or if you ever do.

  1. i think you should let me write your next blog… i have a lot of intelligent things to say about iran and the middle east… :)

    and as for this post.. i think it’s awesome that you did what you did.. taking off across the country to have your eyes opened like that.. and i hear what you’re saying.. i’ve lived in conway for my WHOLE life.. (just about) and sometimes it is so hard for me to accept that this is where God has me for now (even though i know it’s true in my heart)… i’ve got a degree that i wonder if i’ll ever actually use.. and the dreams in my heart look nothing like what i do to make money.. but my confidence is in the Lord.. and i believe that he is leading me.. and i have peace about that..

    so i don’t know for sure.. but if you are in a season where God is just saying ‘wait’.. then just know that His spirit is alive and stirring things up in your life.. whether seen or unseen.. and he takes great delight in your faithfulness to your job.. and the fact that your heart is for Him.. your life will unfold according to his plan… you don’t have to doubt that.

  2. so i talk to so many people that share this feeling of ‘what am i really doing?’. i know that i share it for sure. i love that you just had a desire and decided to take off and go do it. that’s awesome. i do believe that God gives us the desires of our hearts and i believe that He is well aware that the minute He gives adam funmaker a desire, He doesn’t have to question whether or not he’ll do it… I agree with the sister about God stirring things in your life. i think that’s as clear as clear gets, ya know? ;) i would say, if you’re feeling unsettled and overwhelmed by being ‘here’, ask God where… and if you find yourself unable to forget Seattle or wherever for that matter… do a little research, see what doors open up. what can it hurt? thanks for writing all of this… i really wanted to know!! and thanks for always writing things that are challenging. you may think that you’re not ’seizing the day’ or whatever, but when you write things that cause others to look into the choices they make day to day and wonder if they’re taking chances for Jesus, that’s a big deal… so you should know that. Anyway keep dreamin, i have no doubt that you’ll know the next step. He’ll come through. He does every time.

    And I sincerely can NOT wait to see the post Callie writes for you… should be a good one… hah.

    • Thank you Bezet sisters for your input on the situation. Glad to know I’m not the only that thinks these things. and thank you very much for the encouraging words! We all need those from time to time. But I want my actions to inspire people, not just want I think, say, and write, you know what I mean. I don’t want to be that guy who always has ideas and never does anything about them. But again thank you!
