Unfansy Life

Why do we feel that our lives have to look like we are going somewhere to know that we are going somewhere? My life, to me anyways, doesn't look like I am going anywhere. I work part time at a cafe, and I am involved with my church. At the moment I don't have plans for school. I don't actually know what my future looks like. So what am I planning on doing with my life? Well, whatever it is I am living it for God. Sometimes I wish God would just tell me where I am going, so that I know the 'nothing' that I am doing right now is relevant.
The other night God blessed me with one of those moments where he shows you he is using you, even if it is ever so slightly. One of those moments where he reminds you that, you living for him and being real is often all he really needs. When we do that, he moves. It’s not us that does the work, he just moves through us.
So here I am, living at home, knowing what my next year is probably going to look like. Knowing that God could change it in an instant, but that my just living for him is relevant. My unfancy life is fancy enough for him. In fact, if I tried to make it 'fancy' according to our worldly standards, I would be cheating God.
