Sometimes

Sometimes I wish I had a Canadian passport. If I had a Canadian passport, I would have been able to fulfill a dream of volunteering at Capenrwray Hall for a year and work among people I had already invested time and energy to get to know. 

Sometimes I wish I had a Canadian passport. If I had a Canadian passport, I would be able to be in Europe again right now seeing dear friends. Now, who knows how long till I'll be able to even go to Canada?

Sometimes I wish I had a Canadian passport - but then I think like this: If I had had a Canadian passport, I wouldn't have gone to Denmark, Sweden, France, or Austria. I would never had made the friendships or learned the lessons that were waiting for me there. 

Sometimes I wish I had a Canadian passport - but then I think like this: If I had had a Canadian passport, would I be here in the states being able to watch first-hand what God is doing? Possibly not.

In the last 5 months, I have had more opportunities to talk about Jesus and pray with coworkers and members at work than in the 3 years prior. I have seen people re-commit their lives to Jesus. I have seen marriages miraculously be healed. 

Sometimes I wish I had a Canadian passport, but then God opens my eyes and helps me to see where He has me and what He is doing, and I am again content. 

Where does God have you?
