Insights from summer 2005:
At first I was just counting down the days till I was in American once again. I thought I had made a huge mistake and was just going to carry out my duties & the promise I had made to Nehemiah Teams. Things didn’t change very quickly... it was not until I laid down my desires to be known, accepted, and comfortable that God began to turn “the worst summer of my life” into the most productive, spiritual growth summer without an emotional high.
Having to let go of my own plans that I have made for my life & turn my life over to God. Realizing that I am not here for myself... being a Christian is about a call to obedience & not a call to desire.
I had so much fun... but was tested and broken so many times.
I have learned that mission work isn’t always fun... but it’s not about me... it’s about making His name known. I also learned it is a command to go not a suggestion.
I think my attitude became less of an “adventure” attitude and more “pioneer”. I saw how lost & confused so many people around the world are, while I have been set free by the truth and have a responsibility to share that truth.
I've changed a lot. I can’t go back & just be a normal Christian anymore. I have to be a world Christian. I know that I am changed and now I am going to be held to a higher level of accountability... whether I like it or not.
He’s given me a passion that won’t allow me to be comfortable.
He has given me a hunger to read and memorize His word. He has helped me to see that I am called to obedience in every aspect of missions.
Maybe there are many things that I can’t do... but He can do those things through me despite my inabilities or fears.
