Hard to believe I’ve already been home from Africa a week!
I miss the people I met, both my teammates and people of Africa. Seeing/witnessing the miracles (see last entry).
Normal just seems, well, boring. I think I’ve been ruined for it! Every time I go on a trip, I feel my calling even more. That call for travel, for adventure, for spreading the Gospel, for ministering to missionaries in foreign lands.
In the meantime I train and I pay down debt. I minister to those God has put in my path. And try to see the ‘everyday’ miracles all around me.
It’s easy to fall back into old ways. To lose sight of the goal. It seems so far away, but everyday is a step closer. This world can get comfortable, and I like comfort, don’t we all? But that’s losing the meaning, why be comfortable in the world when the one to come is the one that matters? Being comfortable here keeps people from coming to the saving knowledge of Christ.
Foreign missions is what God has put on my heart to spread the Gospel. Not all are able/willing/called to go, but I’m honored and humbled to be one of the ones that GO!
I’m thankful for those who help me GO too. Prayer support or monetary support, or simply asking how my trip went. I love to talk about it.
So this entry has kind of been a bunch of random thoughts, but aren’t most of them? 🙂
On another note, 2 of the lovely ladies in my Seniors Group at church passed away this week. Sad to lose them, but rejoicing that they are with the Lord and no longer sick. They will be missed.
That’s something else I do ‘in the meantime’. I’m the Director of Seniors’ Ministry at my church. I don’t feel like I do that good of a job, but I love them all and hope they all know that.
PS – I hope to post some pictures from my trip this weekend. It’s just been so busy lately I haven’t had time.
