Again, I feel God has chosen me to be his hands and feet to go to those that
are hurting those who have no voice of their own. I have been accepted
to a 5 month missions program with The World Race …focus Human
Trafficking.
Yes, I know the things that I see will be difficult
but knowing that I am living inside of God’s purposes for me is worth
more than any earthly thing to me.
A good friend sent this quote
and it resonates with me….I always want to be in the arena:
I
saw this quote by Theodore Roosevelt, and I was reminded that even when
things are difficult, we are to keep moving forward with the work God
has given us. He said, “It is not the critic who counts; not the man
who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds
could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does
actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great
devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows
in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he
fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall
never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor
defeat.”
I will keep you all posted with more trip details soon

Love,
