im elliott. i used to come on the forums a few years ago but then i hit the road to find a new life. i lived on the road in my bus in the uk for a year. then settled in brighton UK where i became a christian. i then devoted my life to christ and served in the local church studying theology for a year also became a nearly qualified carpinter. this is the longest time ive ever been settled in one place. since becoming a christian ive left the road life behind and decided to listen to what the bible says. build a house get married and multiply. well, so far ive made a home and nearly finnished paying my debts. something suddenly hit me today that i really didnt expect..... i miss the road. for quite some time ive been thinking about the romantisism of being on the road, living the hippie life and all the times i had while doing that. the things that shaped me over the time living in the bus and working the festival circuit. the conclusion i came to was simple. living on the road has its time and place and if i want to make a life and build something then i need to settle and build. be secure with a base. after all, how can you raise children when your living day to day in a bus and busking for money. i had a beautiful girlfriend that wanted to settle down with me and i was working on a carrer to support her and a future child. the trouble was. i knew that jesus is God and she felt otherwise. i tried and tried to meet somewhere inthe middle with her but it just couldnt. everytime i wanted to speak about what i was feeling she couldnt understand and became uneasy when it was brought up. eventually i felt it was the time to go our separate ways and we broke up. she carried on travelling and met another guy who i cant seem to like. and i kept growing in my relationship with jesus. so here i am 2 or 3 years later and im watching 'into the wild' a film i previously brushed of as it reminded me too much of my old life. as i started watching it at first i felt "meh! silly thing to do live on the road" nad felt uncomfortble with it on. but then i stopped and something drew me back to it. so i put it back on. i found myself cholked up like when your about to cry. suddenly i was feeling very sad. i still believe in jesus and love jesus with all my heart but my experience with jesus and my old life on the road just didnt seem to tie up. now im feeling like im supposed to choose. one or the other. but how can i possible choose when i love jesus so much. its like ill always choose jesus. its my default setting cause its never gone wrong when choosing jesus but im having this deep sadness for not being on the road.. i just pray that the two will meet someday. ok so thats me...
