I can do it because God shows me how and leads the way. I couldn’t do it on my own. But don’t think too much against going somewhere for a short time, you never know what you can accomplish in a short time and believe me…you don’t leave and forget or just walk away. You will talk about it, you will help by raising awareness…maybe stay in contact with the people you met and go back. Maybe speak to a person about it that will be the next to go. You never end what you have done when you return home…your footsteps remain there forever.
But there are also lots of ways to get involved and stay involved. I live my life this way and don’t think I could ever go back to “normal” again. Once you step out of the comfort zone of the routine we all get into, you won’t even understand or know how you stayed in it before.
If you are interested…let me know. I can help you get into it if you ever decide to take that leap. Being a missionary is not easy, but I tell you what…it makes me the most blessed person because of it and it is not cheap…but I am the richest I have ever been. I gave up high paying jobs to do this..and I will never regret it.
Stay in touch if you want…you have a heart God wants to use…but you probably know that already. Life is short my friend. I attended one of my best friends funerals today, saw his ashes spread over the ocean. Don’t take any day for granted…ever…they are all grace given to us. If you have something on your heart…start chasing it, go after it…God put it there for a reason. He has big plans for all of us, but sometimes we are not listening.
Thanks for your comments, that lifted my spirits…I needed that today.
You blessed me….see…you are already doing great missions!
God bless.
