Moving Day

Yesterday I so badly wanted to go home… but my initial home, the one I have until 12 pm tomorrow has no furniture, in fact it has absolutely nothing except a TV. Soon after I thought, oh I want to go to my new home. Unfortunately, I did not get my key until today. Therefore, I was officially homeless for a few hours yesterday. It was actually a little liberating. I sat in the food court at the mall and thought about those people who have no home, who got kicked out of a home, or just don’t want to go home because home sucks. It made me somewhat sad. Home gives a sense of stability. Some people do not have that, where do they go?

I am on this whole ‘I don’t want to settle down kick’. I do not want to have a stable job, I do not want to be tied down to a lease, and I want to be in a place in my life where I am used for a season, in whatever aspect, when I feel it’s time to move on I’m let go. This right now seems like an ideal lifestyle. I am not running away and I am defiantly not scared of stability. I just realize that one day I will settle down with a family, house and a husband. I cannot wait for that day, in fact everyday I remind myself I am one day closer to that lifestyle I have dreamed of since I was a little girl. But in the mean time if I want to get in my car and drive… I will. If I want to move to a different province for a few months… I will. If I want to get a summer job far away in the rainforest… I will. This is starting to sound like a country song so I will stop…

Life only happens once. When I was sitting in the mall I realized that all I really need to survive and find stability is in my bible. If I read that and follow God, things will fall into place. I will get a job for a season, I will be blessed with a place to live, and I will be used for God’s glory through the people I meet. Thank God, He does not call us to a life of boredom. However, this life He calls us to is different for everyone and we cannot forget that either.
