I’ve been having a bit of nostalgia lately. It’s a bit of a tug and pull between two things.
Family vs Zambia, Zambia vs Family. Not necessarily Zambia as a country but the experience I had there serving Jesus. I love that very soon I will get to serve Jesus, full time, for 11 months. I also love my family and am realizing now more than ever that I will miss them terribly.
My family: Things aren’t always perfect, but that’s what makes us who we are. We stick together, work together, cook together, eat together, laugh together, struggle together, grow together, travel together, worry together, cry together…wait, maybe that’s just Pops and me…I think you get it, we love each other and these people have been a constant in my life.
Missions: I know this is what I was built for. When I was trying to find something to study at college, all I knew was that I enjoy helping people. There are so many professions that help people. I picked one and it didn’t work out, I was drawn more to the people I was in class with than I was to the classes I was supposed to be studying for. I didn’t waste one minute in college…I did all the social things I could. (mom can testify.) Why? Because I knew I just wanted to help people…and I clearly didn’t think I needed a college degree to help people.
God has given me this passion for a reason. How can I sit here and not answer the call? I am so excited to spend 2 months of quality time with my family before I leave. I can’t wait to soak up every single second.
