I have been asked why?
Why do you love Jesus?
Why is your social media so spiritual?
Why would you apply to go to abroad and live in tents with only one bag in 3rd world countries? Why?
Why would you leave your comfortable life here in the U.S., your comfortable bed, your great friends and family?
Why? Why? Why?
And I have one response, “Why not”?
Why wouldn’t I love a man that came and gave his life so that I could be free? Why wouldn’t I give my life, my comfort to be uncomfortable for his name sake? Why wouldn’t I share my testimony of how God called me from suicide, darkness, abandonment and depression to life, when millions of people are struggling with these same issues everyday? Why wouldn’t I go abroad to share the love, life, peace, joy that Christ gave me with people that are in desperate need of it?
I just can’t seem to find a reason why not.
So I am going. I am going to share all that Jesus has done for me and watch him transform people by my testimony. I am going to shower orphans in central america, Asia and Africa with love and tell them despite all they have been through that God loves them and still has a plan and purpose for their lives. I am going to hold the hand of a woman who has lost everything and tell her she can make it because of the power that has been given to her through the Holy Spirit. I am going to tell the young girl who has been abused that she has value and worth and that God is able to heal every wound and restore her to who he has called her to be.
This is why I go.
Pray for me and support me. There is nothing as a little amount.
