How I was called to the mission field…
I wish I could tell you God came to me in a dream or a burning bush and told me that I was to go do mission work or this trip. In fact, I wish He could have told me in a facebook message because that would have been a whole lot clearer, but I don’t know if God is a fan of facebook. I wish I could tell you that I know beyond any doubt that God’s ultimate and exact will is for me to go on this trip, but I can’t.
I can however tell you that God has been stirring something within me for a long time now. From childhood dreams and interest in missionaries to…
Prayer Apathy Fasting Great Friends Conviction Loving Parents Depression Traveling Camp Counseling Having faith Tears Break-ups
Growing up Laughing nature My Church Speaking up Listening
Running from God Good Books Art Doubting Being forgiven Joy Being Healed
Professors Sunsets Family Pain Love Being Broken Running to God God’s word
Being humbled meeting the broken Lyrics Serving Forgiving Failing
…something in me has been changed and prepared. And I don’t think all my experiences were leading me to this trip only, but were the slow melting away of me to make room for Christ. Because that’s what God wants of us no matter where we are or what we do. And at the age of 21, the only thing I can tell you is that I know God’s will and calling for me is this…
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matt. 22:37-39
I know I am called to love God and to love others. I don’t have an exact plan or way to do that and I fail at it more often than not. But that’s why I’m called to the mission field.
I want to go love.
I want to love deeply
Be transformed by love
Introduce others to love
Because God is LOVE
And it will be difficult, painful, challenging….and beautiful
…as it already has been
That’s all i really know right now….
