More than a missionary, I’m just like you …
Sometimes I feel that I am expected to be this “Super Christian” – you know the elegant speaking, elevated “churchy” word preaching, world changer.
Don’t get me wrong, I want to see a world changed, but I’m not changing the world. I am only a small part of God’s big plan. I am not qualified nor am I deserving of being a part of this plan, but God will equip me to serve Him.
I am a sinner saved by grace. I have a past full of mistakes – I have been trapped in sin, but God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to bear the weight of my past. He took my sins to the Cross and the eternal death sentence was taken off the table. I was free, I am still free. However …

Sometimes I feel that I am expected to know all the answers and have everything figured out, which I don’t. I’m not supposed to know everything about this adventure or how exactly my needs will be met. I know this is crazy, this goes against the “play it safe” mentality, and this definitely isn’t the “real world” I was expected to join after college.
I know that some may never understand this burning passion that I can’t even define. I know that some will just see this as another year off, another year to do what I want to do. However …
More than a missionary, I am following the call that God placed on my life , abandoning my comforts, and the expected course my life is “supposed” to take (by my standards).
