Home is wherever God has me.

Beginning this week I was more than bummed and discouraged at the fact that I will be returning back to the States and leaving Costa Rica. It was hard for me to get over the huge calling that the Lord has placed upon my heart and life to enter the missions field for more than a mere few weeks or portion of my summer. As I have mentioned in previous posts I´m sure, but I finally have gained insight as to where I am going in regards to my career choice and choice of lifestyle.

MISSIONS- this is my passion and is what God is calling me to pursue and do.
So realizing that I need to return back to the States and away from the foreign field- was somewhat of an overloaded barbell upon my shoulders to say the least.

However, throughout this week of travel and adventure with Will and the other interns Becca and Rebecca, I have been able to listen.
Though I have reached the point of finally feeling at home here in Costa Rica, the deeper truth is that Home is wherever God has me.

Since my start of college, I have never really had a sense of being at home. Even in my hometown whenever I visit my parents, home is not home in the sense of it being where I belong.
I am always traveling. Everyone is always traveling. Going somewhere different. Traveling spiritually and physically. From highs to lows. From deep growth to superficial distractions that blind us all from the greater panorama of life.

Coming to understand that my home is wherever God has me has given me such as huge and overwhelming sense of PEACE. So going back to San Diego and wherever after that, its the deep peace and truth that is: I am where I am for a purpose.

Whether it be to learn a life lesson, to prepare for something greater to come, to impact those around me in a way to see Spiritually, or to simply be patient.
Its all for a reason and a season that ultimately only God Knows.

So why hate where you´re at? Why worry on the future?(which wont ever really turn out how you expect it to anyways)
Why think that you do not have a special purpose, a special mission Right Now wherever you may be in life?

The world wants to keep you blind and afraid. break away from it. Make a difference beyond this world.

¨A man will not be established by wickedness.
But the root of righteousness will not be moved.¨
-Prv12:3

¨Whom have I in heaven but You?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.¨
-Ps73:25

I choose to stay true to my name and my maker. I choose faith and peace in the name of Jesus Christ. I choose to see the greater panorama of wherever I am and make my home wherever God has me.

What do you choose?
