Am I wrong to want to free myself of the life I currently lead? Am I wrong to want to go somewhere far away? Am I wrong to want to meet new people, have new experiences, and try new things? Those ambitions sound innocent in and of themselves, but the motivation behind them has stirred my concern. Am I wrong to want to get away from the fighting? Maybe if times were better and monetary issues weren't so pressing, there would not be such a push in my mind to free my parents of such stresses and jump into the open arms of a faraway liberal institution...
But in the face of such decisions, I can take refuge in the words of Joshua: Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Regardless of where I end up in life, or where I choose to go, I know that He will be going with me. After such a promise, it really makes worrying over such things seem futile and insignificant. God, give me the strength to trust you more wholly.
My Israeli Experience
"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things"
Me and the girls in Yeriho
The pen is a haven for the wondering mind, the paper a sanctuary for the restless soul. - Me
The paths of just are like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
We cannot control the wind, but we can direct the sails.
What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life
