I’ve tried to stay away from posting videos because I feel as if it’s not what this blog is about. However, this video not only completely goes along with what I’ve tried to make this blog about, but it also goes along with what I am currently trying to make my life about.
There is something that happens in my heart when I see pictures or hear stories from journeys people have taken around the world. After this longing in my heart expressed itself about a hundred times I realized that God must have placed this desire on my heart. It was originally His desire to share the Gospel with students in the Canary Islands. Yes, I may be learning Spanish while I’m there, and yes, I may be living in 72 degree weather in December, but the real reason why I want to go there and live there for three months is because my heart longs to be somewhere other than here. It longs to serve people and love people other than the people who are here. And those desires, I believe, were placed on my heart.
Dr. John Piper can explain the root of this desire much better than I can.
