In Sunday school today we studied the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. To make a long story short, Jesus pointed out that the woman was search for something and she was going to men to find it. She had already had five husbands and was with a sixth man. There was a longing in her life that she was trying to quench.
My friend's husband was leading the class. He's an excellent teacher. He posed the question if Jesus sat down with you what would he say you're trying to replace the longing inside of you with?
I understand that longing. It was nice to have it verbalized. Granted I'm not filling my longing with man after man but I have been searching for a purpose since coming back to the states.
I think part of my longing won't be satisfied until we are back overseas. But I have found a way I can happily do something missional. We are going to look into fostering babies.
I feel like now we maybe be doing something more than just waiting to leave again.
