Staying put

Ok, so I'd rather be somewhere else. I'd rather be at a different church. I'd rather be at a gathering of people like a read about in books, like I dream about, like so much emerging/missional/organic ideology recounts. But I am not.

I'd also rather be living in the middle of an urban area - in the heart of a city. It seems like so much I read about talks about the urban church - living in proximity to one another and in community. But I do not live there.

So I ask God lots of questions as to what HE wants, as opposed to what I want. And the penetrating answer comes in the form of a question:
....can I/will I be "missional" in suburbia? Can I/Will I live out mission in an attractional model church?

I guess this means He wants me to stay put.
