Thank God for Roots

-->

Recently I had the chance to hang out with a good friend. We do not get to see each other all the time because of schedule conflicts, but almost every time we get together the presence of God show's up and He makes our time quite enjoyable.

It was a great reminder of how important it is to hang out with like minded believers. Most of the people in my life I consider friends are Christians however, not all of them have the same passion to pursue God in the same measure as I. The number is quite small. So many times I  meet up with of them and find that I have nothing to say because the things that interest them do not interest me. I RARELY willingly listen to secular music, I don't watch a lot of movies, and I don't watch a lot of television. Most people would look at my life and wonder what I do with all my time when I'm not working, and when I say spend time with God I get the weirdest looks as if they do not understand. I can't blame them, for the longest time I did not understand it, but when you have even the smallest glimpse of what your purpose is all other thoughts,views, or opinions  are meaningless.

I've grasped the realization that when you have matured and accepted that you are a son/daughter of God, you'll find yourself living a life completely abandoned to His will. It may seem foolish to others but in God's eyes you're walking out your purpose. Now I've only had a glimpse and  I definitely can not tell you in deep detail where God is taking me, but I'm excited for the journey.

The truth is, I have been called to be set apart. I forgot that for a moment, started to question what I was really doing, but thank God for friends who remind you where your roots are!
