It turns out that a friend of mine from Redberry Bible Camp back in grade 4 is an actor/director out in the Vancouver area. I haven't seen him since that week of camp but we've been in touch over email for the last year or so. So I went out to Trinity Western University to see him in a play tonite. It was called "The Mail Order Bride". Possibly the best play I have ever seen. Absolutely incredible preformance, story, everything about it was great. It was a story about the life of this family from Saskatchewan (go figure). It was like a bunch of memories glued together by a close friend of that family, who was the narrator as well.
I got to thinking. There are so many twists and turns in everyone's life. No matter who you are, you have a story to tell. A story that's ever evolving, changing and growing. Sometimes we go thru really crappy times. But tonite I was totally ok with that. It was kinda wierd.
I love driving in the dark. I was driving home from the play and I was in one of those moods where you just have to turn the radio off and talk to God. And listen to God. So that's what I did and it was amazing. I feel like there is so much stuff that we try and try to figure out in our lives, but sometimes it gets to the point where it seems futile to think about it any longer. That's when you really start to hear things. And see things. I was seeing myself in the future, knowing that as long as I keep searching Him out, keep trying to draw nearer, I will have accomplished what I was meant to accomplish. Amist all the different paths life leads us on, that is the common goal. To know God. (Of course you could expand on that but I'm not going to. )
