On the Verge
Posted in The Historical Faith and tagged with Emotions, God, Purpose on March 22, 2010
As a woman who tends towards the side of being overly emotional, I spend a lot of time monitoring my emotions and their causes (when they can be discovered). One thing that I feel often, but can’t quite name, is the feeling of being on the verge.
Like I’m only moments away from discovering or being a part of something huge.
While I don’t know quite what to call this, it seems like a common human feeling. I feel it when I listen to great music or see a movie with beautiful cinematography. Even more, I sense it when I walk out into a wonderful spring day or admire one of the great physical wonders of our world.
I can’t help but think I have this feeling–that we have this feeling–as a reminder that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves. That’s is not all about me, and that God has created me for a purpose.
A purpose that I’m only beginning to find out.
And once again, I feel like I’m on the verge.

I have those feelings too, and think you’re right! But I also can’t help but think, “Am I witnessing something or some time in history that will be talked about later, that will be remembered?” I always look back in history and wonder if others felt “on the verge”…my parents for instance who grew up in the 50′s, 60′s, and 70′s. Lots happened then. They were witness to lots of big historical events. I wonder if our feelings of being on the verge are not only about things being bigger and greater than ourselves but also about the importance of those bigger and greater things :-)

Oh my, you are my granddaughter…GOD is control…a feeling of waiting…knowing GOD is in control…and HIS WILL will be done. The comfort of this is indescribable.

I have no doubt that we are all created for a purpose! Sometimes we just have to listen to find out what it is!

Brenda: I get it year-round, but springtime is always a big time for that feeling!
