Do I need to move?

There have been a few things that have been weighing on my mind over the past few weeks. Things that only involve me, my God's will for my life, & my future.

I feel that God is leading me to do a YWAM DTS somewhere far away from home, for at least a 6 month period of time. Lord, take me out of my comfort; teach me, lead me, strengthen me, help me do great things in your name.

Lyrics from Revelation from Third Day that express my hearts yearning: Tell me, should I stay here? Or do I need to move?..Won't you show me where to go...

I have been considering going into ministry for about 3 years now. I finally made up my mind this past year that I will no longer fight my calling, but to interpret it. I feel that I am meant for missionary work. Possibly something involving China or Vietnam, or other places that Christianity is against the law & persecuted. I want to make a difference to the struggling Christians there & be a part of growing their faith & their underground church so that maybe some day it doesn't have to hidden & persecuted.I also feel that eventually I will be in pastoral ministry.

I long for these things with every bone in my body. I am considering dropping my whole life & everything I have here after this semester & heading out to start my journey with a distant DTS. Heading out of town, away from everything & everyone I know, to things & places & people greater than me.

Christians sacrifice their personal dreams for God's will. My will is finally becoming aligned with God's. Praise the Lord.
