Oh The Places You Will Go

I find that God puts passions within our heart that often open unexpected doors.
That is...If we are brave enough to use these passions that He gave us.
We grow in our passions.
We grow in our gifts.
And like a conductor, He points out the perfect timing.
At least, that is what happened to me as a writer.

A unique door opened when it seemed like doors would forever be closed.
A recent college graduate can easily fall prey to cynicism in this day and age.

About a year ago, I had encouraged a fellow friend and talented writer to continue writing.
He is a very gifted writer.
And it was at that point that I was inspired to write as well.

We encouraged each other to pursue our passion for creative writing.
And as similar interests often bring people together,
We became friends.
As much of friends as a person from Chicago and person working in Alaska could be.

Soon enough (two months later) I found myself boarding a plane to Anchorage, Alaska.
The person sitting next to me looked astounded at my move to Alaska even though I had never been there in my entire life.
God had opened this unique door
So I took a unique leap of faith
And went.

The journey from that point on is enough to write pages worth
Or perhaps a book,
But I still want to emphasize:
If He has gifted you, given you specific passions,
Use them
Because you never know the places they will take you.
They may even take you to some place you had never imagined.

Maybe even some place that seems silly.
Some place like
...Alaska.
