I realized recently that I took my first mission trip 7 years ago.  I didn’t know it was considered a mission trip at the time, I was just visiting a friend who was on the mission field.  Come to find out, that’s a mission trip and what I want to do for the rest of my life. 

Most days I feel called to missions.  Some days I doubt because I don’t fit the ‘typical’ missionary description.  I don’t know if I’ll ever live in another country full-time.  I want to do multiple short-term trips a year.  I’m sure whatever God has in store is so much cooler than what I can imagine though!

7 years seems so long ago, yet like yesterday at the same time.  A lot has happened since I first received my passport.  Mexico 3 times, Scotland, Costa Rica and 3 countries in Africa.  Wow.

Also 7 years ago I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  (This is MS Awareness Month too).  The disease sucks, but through God I’m able to overcome.  I’ve actually been in remission for years now!  I believe He will fully heal me someday too.  From the depression also, which is caused by the MS, in a way, basically.

Amazingly enough these 2 don’t typically mix, MS and missions.  But you add God to the equation and miraculous things can happen 🙂

Now, where to next?
