Brendon the Nomad

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we´re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths says the Walt Disney office.[1]

My life can be summed-up in a similar sentence however with the above statement it seems their curiosity is what drives them. For me on the other hand it is the desire to be in God’s perfect will. I have experienced a luxurious life and its trappings and enjoyed the power which comes from titles and prestige. However it is the accomplishment of those facets, I have often been left pondering: is this all life should be about? The doors or places which open before my journey are but a testing of my faith and endurance on my patience. I do not search for riches….for I am rich; I do not search position…for I see its limitations…neither do I search for joy or happiness…for I am happy. So what am I searching or looking for? I am looking for fulfilling God’s Will.

What is His Will?

Frankly I do not know? However my experience in life has taught me that in being close to God and loving Him brings enlightenment to my current circumstances. (I see clearly in the light than without). So my many journeys and travelling as a modern day nomad has given me a richness for the taste of life, openness to the odd and weirdoes,  the respecting of diverse opinions and the joy of learning.

Since coming to the United Kingdom I have moved approximately fourteen times and lived in four countries. I have travelled on speaking engagements from the North of England to the very south; been as far west than the east and yet I move again on Monday. A new chapter in the tapestry of my very diverse and colourful background includes Cardiff, Wales. I do not go searching but more of what I found; I found a student ministry in the heart of a city university that calls my God-given giftings. To ignore the call and that of my conscience bearing witness to accept the mediocre life would be similar to cutting off my heart whilst I am yet alive.

What is life if we can’t live it in doing God’s will[2] and finding contentment doing it?
