I can't ever remember it not being a part of me. I ache in my heart to live in the country.
Suddenly tonight, I came to the realization that this isn't something I will ever grow out of. It's a part of who I am and it's meant to stay.
I recently read Desire and I'm currently reading Waking the Dead, both by John Eldredge. (Desire is a MUST read) They speak loudly about listening to the calling in our hearts -- God placed them there for a reason. And so tonight I prayed. I asked God to open my eyes and show me why He's given me this desire.
As I began to pray my heart started to thunder. I'm beginning to learn that when my heart beats faster while I'm praying, it's God telling me there's something I need to pay attention to. I'm not certain what this all means but I'm excited! I feel so blessed to have a God who loves me and who gave me such wonderful desires of my heart and I cannot wait to see why He's put them there.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac
“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." - Mother Teresa
