Did you read the post about how we all need to Stop Singing Oceans?
This morning while I was listening, and singing (I'm a rebel, I know), to that song I remembered when I read that blog post. I agreed with it and I'm fairly certain I even shared it on social media. However, the last few months of my life have changed how I think drastically. I am a new creation all over again. My brain has been swapped out, and I have been given new ears and new sight. I have received a full, mind and spirit makeover and I have never felt better.
Sure, if you tell God that you will trust him without borders, he might take you to Iran. But he also might just ask you to wait a little longer to get pregnant, or be brave by talking to your kid's teacher about Jesus, or not giving up during your workout because the fit guy on the treadmill is killing it. It could just look like sitting still or smiling when you feel like there is nothing left to smile about.
Living in a foreign country does not make you a super Christian.
Nothing actually makes you a super Christian.
There is no goal to attain.
The thing we should be chasing is actually a Someone, a relationship with Jesus.
Sing Oceans. Sing it out with every ounce of enthusiasm and abandon that you have in you. Sing it until you believe it. Put it on repeat and examine what that looks like in your life.
I think that even if you are standing in the pew moving your mouth to the words, there is a possibility some sort of goodness is being planted that can blossom when you need it to. That is gold.
Keep digging deeper. Keep pushing yourself. Keep singing Oceans.
