But life is not like that for many of us, and we would usually sit in the middle of dreaming and reality. We need to work, we have responsibilities, we have ministries, together with those wanderlust desires.
The movie Into the Wild and Wild inspired me on the idea of wanderlust and explorations. It then became dream, like in the movies or series, like a hipster thing (I said I'd stop using the word). After seeing the movie, I went out from the apartment at night, into the streets, and bring food to those who live on the streets. It was fun.
So I went to Dubai to see what's here.
The new American Dream includes quitting your job for a few years and traveling the world to find yourself and get clarity on life. Travel, for some of us, has come to represent a life of carefree adventure that promises more than it can possibly deliver.
Being wanderlust has become part of me but as said, it isn't all abut being able to travel. It is about searching while having an attitude of contentment while we wait as we give God the glory in all we do. If we can do ministry in places we go, the better.
So before you let your wanderlust drive you to quit your job, get a new tattoo or buy a one way ticket to somewhere exotic, spend some time listening to what your life might be saying. It might be telling you something you need to hear.
So with the above thoughts, I had to carefully plan, coupled with praying, plus asking for wisdom my stay in Dubai. It took months of these three when I feel deciding on my current situation while I continue to humbly be used in the lifegroup. I was reminded of wisdom. Isn't it wisdom that you asked for from God that you realized many things there? Coming to know who you are and what you can do and that at last you see what's out there. When you asked that kind of wisdom from James 1, you should believe it.
I guess this is the time of giving up after the search and onto another life adventure. (Ecclesiastes 3:6). I sincerely thank God for all the learnings. It hasn't been the journey like in the movies, but this is all worth it.
This is who I am. It is God's gift. Remember to always pitch you tent wherever you go. Build an altar for the Lord and worship Him wherever He brings you.
