Being Sane but Living in Insanity
Written by Sophie on Thursday, August 26, 2010
Life has been good for me, my BIID is still as low as it could be without actually getting rid of it and I can only attribute that to God. With the other issues I’ve dealt with I’ve become more and more confident in talking to people about things I’m passionate about.
Yesterday I spoke in church about a worship training day the worship team had been to and I was showered in compliments afterwards with people saying things like "I think we have another preacher on our hands" and "you spoke really clearly and you didn’t need any notes or anything". Dad’s finally realised that I seem louder than anyone else in the music team because my voice is much clearer than them.
Gwen is really proud of me, she’s told me my walk with God is far more mature than most people my age. She’s gone so far in the past to say I have all the right qualities to be a good counsellor, I’m capable of talking to people, talking about my own reflections of their problems without bringing my own issues into the conversation. Gwen told me she’s had counselling at bible college on her mind for me for the last three months but hasn’t said anything until she felt I was ready to hear and consider it.
I’ve been thinking and praying about it and what an awesome privilege it would be to share even just a small fraction of what God has done for me and bring a little sanity into other peoples lives. With all the stuff I’ve been through emotionally who could know better than me what it’s like to be sane but feel like my life is insane. I want to do it, I’d rather take the risk and trust God than continue going after what I thought I needed and get nowhere beyond financial security. There’s more to life than mere survival.

Thank you Nobody :) It’s not about the comments, that’s not why I post on TA.org, but I was starting to wonder why this post hadn’t attracted any yet.
