There's something going on in my life right now and I am not sure what it is. It feels like the supernatural and natural are colliding. Collisions tend to be messy. I feel a longing for something more. It's a very deep and all consuming longing. I just don't know what can satisfy this appetite. God? Relationships? Church? Humbleness? I feel that hunger again. So hungry. I want something so much and I'm not really sure what that something is. I've been looking for it for many months now and the longing seems to be getting stronger.
I had a plan, kind of, back in September or October. First, I wanted to grow closer to God. I thought that as my relationship with God began to develop I could work on other things. Secondly, I wanted to develop some honest deep relationships with Christian friends. Finally, I hoped that if these things would work out I wanted to start a special relationship with someone special. That did not happen as I planned. Everything seemed to start all at the same time in spurts, and then stops, retreats, and more spurts. It's left me all feeling a little overwhelmed. And still that longing I feel doesn't seem to be satisfied.
I'm searching for a place I feel I "fit" in life. I have never really felt I fit anywhere, even at the best of times. I think I am longing for the place in life I belong. I have been looking everywhere and it has left me tired and somewhat confused because I still don't think I have found that fit yet.
It must be so wonderful to be content with life and God and relationships. Some day I hope I will know what it feels like, but right now I am still longing.
