God loves me. I’m not here just to fill a place, just to be a number. He has chosen me for a purpose. I know it.
– Mother Teresa
I have struggled in the past to understand God’s love for me. I have not seen my purpose. I have spent many years wondering why am I here? what is my purpose? Well the closer I get to leaving for this trip the more I realize His purpose for me.
Every time I read a blog of someone on the field I know this is what He wants me to do. I am freaked out in many ways, but super excited. Super excited to know His love for me. Super excited at the chance to love the poorest of the poor. Super excited that He is working.
The truth is He has always been working. It was me who didn’t realize it. It was me who wandered off. But I am so thankful for His grace and love in my life.
I am so thankful that I will have the chance to do what I have always wanted to do. I am so excited to hold babies, pray with those who are hurting, talk to women in sex trafficking.
I know I will see lots of brokenness. Brokenness that will break my heart, but I am thankful that I will be able to tell of His grace in my life. To tell those who have no hope that I was there not long a go. I am excited that I know He has a purpose for me. My purpose is to love Him and love people. My purpose is to share what He has done in my life. That is good news!
