There is a common theme I have been receiving from people. Don’t go. And wow is it the worst feeling ever. I don’t really think they mean to come across like they do. I get that. I know that what I’m doing is hard to understand, but a little support would be appreciated.
People are constantly telling me how I don’t need to go over seas to spread the gospel. They tell me that i’m putting myself in harms way. I’m just confused on why this matters so much to them for me not to go. I know it’s scary to think that something might happen, but this isn’t your life.
God made me this way. He made this my passion. I have loved mission work for years. God has put the biggest heart in my chest to care for everyone and I mean everyone.
I know that God will be right beside me this whole journey and for the rest of my life. I trust him and no one is ever going to talk me out of doing what I know God wants me to do.
I think everyone just thinks that i’m not scared or that I don’t care what happens to me, but that’s just not true. Now, I do understand that Christians are hated by a lot of people. I know that things could happen.
The fact that i’m aware of these things freaks people out, because I don’t necessarily care. I know what God has told me to do and i’m going to follow through with it until he tells me otherwise. Honesty, I think the worst thing that could happen is getting a tummy ache or miss a flight.
I will continue to pray that God gives me strength to deal with the doubters that I feel like i’m constantly crossing paths with. I pray that he will work on their hearts.
I pray that they understand that all I want is their support and love. It’s what I need.
