Some Journey

As with most of the things in my life that I have realised I desperately wanted to do, traveling the world is a goal I've come to very slowly. This should probably come as no surprise to me: half the love interests I've had live overseas now... and the other half were born there.

I always thought that I was happy with Australia - that it was big enough. People think I'm crazy for sitting on a train eight hours of the day to go to bible college and back. The truth is I love it. I love being in different places, different atmospheres, discovering new things constantly.

I have no idea who I am right now, but I'm starting to get the feeling I'm on a very long road. I thought my life was planned - I thought the next ten years of my life could be mapped out. Now I'm not so sure. Maybe I'll be happily settled in another country by then. Maybe I'll have traveled the world and built relationships in many churches by then.

I don't know what I'm going to be doing, but I know I want it. There's some kind of a small, half-seen, mostly-felt glimpse of the future in me and thinking of it makes me a little light-headed and teary.

When we make the decision to trust God, we make the decision to accept a life that is beyond our wildest fantasies. It's hard, but it's possible. Live the best life you can.
