The closer you get to a Missions trip the clearer some things become even though you have known them all along. One of the key things that keeps dancing in my mind is that you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.
People who hardly speak to you when you are home suddenly get concerned for your safety on an endeavor like this. Others who show no regard for you when you are home suddenly worry that you will no longer have health insurance because you are quitting your job. It seems like a constant battle between me and the woulda coulda shoulda gang.
To the woulda coulda shoulda gang in my life I say try caring about me when I am home on this mission field called my life. Don’t worry about my safety be praying about the safety of the women and children that are sold daily into the Human Trafficking industry I want to be Gods hands and feet to abolish.
I want to be a God pleaser not a people pleaser; because even when we do everything right in a humans eyes they may still think we have blown it ! Our best is not good enough for humankind but our best is all God sees…..that excites me !
