Those are the finer details. I'm sure we'll get to know each other better as the year progresses 🙂
My everything ^^ (missing one brother-in-law)
I'm sure you're thinking, “now how does a introverted homebody end up going on a rugged year long missions trip?” Yeah, I'm still asking myself that same question. But the truth of the matter is that I gave up my life a few years ago to a King. Ever since that moment of surrender, my life has become one adventure after another. I never thought this is what I would be doing after graduation, stability is enticing. But my King put a call on my life, one that He made impossible to ignore. After returning to Him, I tried to make Him promise that He would never send me on missions. It's against my nature, it's uncomfortable, it's messy. So what happened? Is God just a tyrant ruler who makes us do things that we hate to do? Hardly. He is a majestic, loving, heart-changer. He wrecked my plans for His. He wrecked my heart for His. And now, I only want go where He goes; I only want to follow where He leads. So for now, He has said, "to the nations with you, my little introvert." I don't think I'll be coming back an introvert. I don't think I'll be coming back a lot of things. But that's the beauty of life with him, it's dynamic, we're always changing, becoming more like Him. So I'm ready to let go of my plans, to let go of my "should-be's" and "hope-so's" and learn how to be a servant, tuning my ear to the ever soft whisper of my King. So that's why I'm going on this race. To take care of the widow and feed the hungry; to become a practicer of Christ's true religion; to be love to those who know no love, to be warmth to those who are cold; to be a light where darkness rules. And I hope that you join me in this adventure, you & me & the King.
