 A few years ago, I started a business in a small town. I was 20 years old, a homeschool graduate, and a quiet, reserved young woman. I liked to be private. A few years ago, I started a business in a small town. I was 20 years old, a homeschool graduate, and a quiet, reserved young girl. I liked to be private. 

Growing up, I spent countless hours by myself sitting quietly and daydreaming. I loved being on my own. That’s where I could pretend to be anyone I wanted to be. 

I could pretend to be confident. 

I could pretend to be well known and have lots of friends. 

I could  own my own restaurant. 

I could be someone who knew what to say and when to say it. 

I could pretend to be someone who took criticism well, and someone who didn’t melt when she got reprimanded. 

I wasn’t any of those things in real life. Only when I was alone. 

I was ok with that. I looked forward to finishing my school and playing outside by myself. I was comfortable with being unknown. I was content with being quiet, reserved, and private. I liked my private life that allowed for adventures that my imagination took me on. 

Through a story for another day, the Lord saw to it that my life unraveled into one of business, missions, and people. 

It started when I opened my first business in the small town I grew up in and realized that opening a business to the public would allow the public an open view into me.  That was when I started to learn that my life, as comfortable and private as it was, was not the end goal the Lord had in mind for me. The life He had in mind was, as Oswald Chambers put it, created to be “a thoroughfare for the world on one hand and the Lord on the other.” 

If my life is closed up and only allowed to be witnessed by a few, it could drastically fall short of the immensely purposeful life I long for and was intended to live. In the face of fear, I decided to make my life a thoroughfare. I decided to write my stories so the world could walk through and perhaps identify a path leading them to the Savior.I think I am starting to learn what He means by “a life that is not our own.” I am still learning, but the private, quiet young lady I used to be is not all that I am. If that is what it takes to know God more and to make Him known, than I will happily make my life a thoroughfare for anyone who wants to see. I will expose my breaking heart to a world that seeks to break it more, and I will allow the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to use it as He wills. My stories, and struggles will be yours for better or worse; wear down your soul’s tread walking through them.
