On Fire
Ever since I've gotten back, well, no even before I got back, I've felt deeply that I went to Israel for a definite reason. God spoke to me about so many things while I was there. It was such a wide scope of things too. Everything from illuminating the Bible to personal issues to confirming plans. It was and is very overwhelming. I'm still digesting the things that I've learned. I feel like I'm standing on the edge of a cliff and there is nothing but mist in front of me. I can vaguely discern that there are lights here and there in the mist but that's it. I know that I'm supposed to go forward and I want to but I'm still scared.
I feel that my future is so open, so big I can't even fathome what God has for me. The only words that I've found that even begin to describe what I'm feeling is from the song "On Fire" by Switchfoot.
"I'm standing on the edge of me... Standing on the edge of everything that I've never been before. I've been standing on the edge of me. I'm standing on the edge and I'm on fire when You're near, I'm on fire when You speak. I'm on fire burning at these mysteries..."
I told my sister about this and she gave me some great advice. She said it's ok if I'm scared but I can't let it stop me. I don't usually let fear take over but I try so hard to deny that I'm afraid. I know that this next year is going to be a stretching time for me, I'm looking forward to it.
