Wanderlust

I love tavelling. At every given opportunity, I pack my bags and go out of my regular space. There is the anticipation of the trip, the excitement of packing, and of course the promises of new places and faces waiting to be discovered by me, and infected with my humble passion for and love of life. Every time I get to go away, I am always so happy to be going away, I pack my bags and plan my itinerary weeks in advance. When I finally get to my destination, things either go my way, or they don't, but I ALWAYS make sure I enjoy myself.

Some people see travels as a way of escaping their realities. Others on the other hand are quite simply adventurous. I guess I am a nomad at heart. Most of my travelling, is not even about the destination itself, it is about the journey. The excitement of scenery change, the apprehension, the curiousity about what's waiting on the other side. I sometimes feel an 'itch' all over me, which tells me its time to get on the move again. For years, I was convinced I would spend my life wandering from place to place, never setting down roots. I have been in one place for the past 9years though, and as much as I say I would rather be anywhere but here, I keep coming back here. That tells me my destiny is in a way tied to this place. Not that it is IN this place, but it will be manifested in this place.

A man of God once told me that when I ever I go away, I should make sure that I am not running away FROM something, because it will STILL be here when I get back. Truly, everytime something has been weighing me down, and I decide to walk away from it, it's there waiting for me when I get back. The beauty of going away though, is a symbolic release. A letting go, an opportunity to step out of the situation and really recognize it for what it is, and sorting out the best steps to take to realign itz impact on your life with the will of God for your life. So, I have a wandering spirit, some nomadic tendencies, it doesn't mean I am without roots or that I am unable to settle down. My home is not tied to one place. My home is everywhere where I can encounter God. My one true home is in God, and He is everywhere.
