"The place God calls you to is where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."
- Fredrick Buechner
It may seem cliche, but if you had asked me just a little over a year ago where I would be right now, I never would have been able to tell you I'd be at this place in my life. But God always has a plan much bigger than we could ever dream or imagine. Perhaps that is why this quote wrapped me in such warmth.
This is my reality. As soon as I read the quote I knew. More than just the fact that this is where God has placed me (stretching far beyond any of my own ability). He placed me here because this is where I will find my own deep gladness, but also will help to heal some of the world's deepest pains.
That's all I desire in life. To find my own true happiness in doing what I was meant to do, and in doing so help heal just a bit of someone else's pain. I hope that no matter what opportunity, or struggles come my way I remain strong.
It also is a warning. If you ever find that you no longer have a deep gladness or joy in where you are at, perhaps you are no longer where God wants you. The two are not exclusive. You will be happy, if you are where God wants you to be. That is the great collision. My great collision.
May it always be so.
