Go the Distance

So it shouldn't be a surprise to any of you that one of my posts is titled after a Disney song... but I was listening to it tonight and I just really felt inspired to write.

I really feel like I have no idea what I am doing with my life, and I know that God has a plan. For that reason, I am not too worried. But I mean I just feel like I am in this giant canyon. On one side there is my childhood and on the other side, my adult life is waiting to begin. (I mostly favor the kid side because HELLO... Disney movies and pillow forts) I have plans. I know what I want to do. I just feel like getting there is really difficult.

So anyways as I was listening to Hercules sing about how he feels like he is made for something greater, I decided that I too am made for something greater than this feeling of not knowing. Here are my favorite lines from the song:

I have often dreamed of a far off place...(I have felt the call to be a missionary ever since I was a little girl)

A voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be...(I have heard Christ's voice so clearly when I am doing what He has created me to be. I really felt I was were I was supposed to be when I was in Honduras)

I will find my way, I can go the distance
I'll be there someday, if I can be strong
I know every mile, will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere, to feel like I belong

I know where I belong and I plan to run towards that place with all my might. I know that God is leading me and I know that every step I take moves me closer and closer to the place where I belong. There will be a day when I am doing what I feel like I have been created to do. I don't want to say that I am in a place where I don't belong. I feel like following Christ is a lot of waiting and growing and for that reason, I am okay where I am right now. 

Just my thoughts of the day.
