This has been my struggle this last few days because I'm having a hard time adjusting emotionally. Sometimes I'm focused, yet there are times I'm loosing my focus on my aim of being in where I am right now because of the sickness they call "homesick". I don't really know if this is a medical term, well i guess not, but the feeling really sucks especially waking in the middle of the night, just thinking of my loved ones, the past and the future. But the story behind the Bible character Moses strucked me the most in the book I'm reading right now. Living in faith zone not safe zone. I don't know what's in store for me living here in a strange place. I remember I used to say that NY is my dream place, but I never thought that I will end up struggling right now with the feeling of loneliness and worry. But God always reminds me where is my faith in Him? Where do I put my faith? Is it in myself, the people I'm living with, or with Him? Of course, my answer should be "with Him". Yet, as a human, we never loose the struggle. For if I don't struggle, what worth is having faith after all?
On the contrary, being in safe zone seems to be a freedom, but I realized that there's more freedom in putting my trust in the one that is unseen than, in seen.
This is one thing I want to point out in my blog which you could imagine a word from one of the Bible characters:
"It was by faith that I left the comfort zone, and that is what is required of you if you want to enjoy God's blessings to the fullest. Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the risks you didn't take than by the ones you did. Defeat tomorrow's regret by moving forward and getting into the faith zone today." - (a sample encouragement from Moses, fr. the book Running with Giants by John Maxwell)
