There is an uncomfortable feeling that comes when you are in one place, but your heart knows that you belong in another. An uncomfortable feeling when others judge you based on what you look like now, but when you look in the mirror you see where you sense you are going.

There was a time I believed that I could serve God and decide what I wanted to do with my life. My father is a great businessman. I naturally received some of his skill-sets. So, I reasoned with God, I would serve him. And I would pursue what I wanted to do with my life. I lived morally, I prayed all the time, but I grew to ignore the Lord in a certain area.

When I would open up my bible and it would fall to the same scriptures every-time, when I would get a sense after I prayed of what he wanted me to do, and when I would seek his direction and he would bring me back to me a vision I had when I was 12 years old. The vision I never put too much stock in.

I was not that person in that vision. And, in fact, I was too far from it to ever really believe I could get there. Instead, I would have to exercise my faith to see each step at a time.

You see some people can’t decide what they are going to do with their life. Because they really have been chosen. There are some that can only surrender. For it is the only life they can live.
