the insanity of normality

I leave in a week. During the time I am stressing about living out of a suitcase, beginner plane trips, and altogether life changing decisions, Life has gone on. School has started, people are working and studying and it seems I am the only one who is restless with the routine. Sure, I will miss home, but if you had the choice would you go to work, sleep, eat, and do the same things all day for the rest of your life? I find the normality of this perfect middle class life mundane. God has called me to be extreme. I will travel the world, working to the glory of Jesus. I will eat weird things. I will sleep in a mosquito net under a red sky. And through all this, I will not be content with what I could be doing, I will be the hands that God uses to shape a masterpiece in heaven. It might hurt, I might be homesick, but my true home is heaven, and the trip isn't over yet!
