20 Seconds

I truly may never understand why God puts someone in your life to just take them away. My big move happens in less than two weeks and recently God has put some people in my life that I wish would just move with me. Lately all thats been running through my head is "Why am I even going?" However, if I don't go, I will never have known what it would have been like. This blog isn't for others purposes but for my own. If I don't move, I will never have known what it would have been like. 

When its 11pm and I'm crusing on a motorcycle gazing at the stars, I wonder why am I going? Then I remind myself that God's timing is perfect. There is a reason he put this amazing guy in my life. I may not know it right now, but I hope that someday it explains itself. 

In the movie We Bought a Zoo, Benjamin Mee says, "You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it." The day I leave for the East Coast, I hope to have that twenty seconds of courage that I did just the other night before the motorcycle ride. 

James 1:2-3 says, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trails of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." I pray that in this situation, I find joy. I am already beyond thankful for the amazing people God has put in my life.
