Διατηρεί την πίστη...

I know you can.

Would you leave everything you know?

The other morning I woke up extremely sad. In 2007-2008 I traveled to Zambia (twice), Mexico, and New Orleans to do mission work. I had the honor of building orphanages, homes, working in a clinic, and meeting beautiful people. I miss it. 

I once heard someone say "Pray for the places you've visited and for the places you'll go." I admit that I haven't prayed enough for the places I've been. I forgot about the prisoners in Mexico that I ministered to. I forgot about the people in Louisiana who shared their "Hurricane Katrina" stories with me. I forgot about the family I lived with in Zambia. And now it's all coming back to me, in waves. I spent the entire day overwhelmed. True, I must spend more time praying for these places, but is that all? Does it all end here? Will I ever see them again? Somewhere deep inside of me I know that this isn't the end. I was made for more. We were made for more.

At times I feel like I'm supposed to live in one of these places for three months at a time, leaving everything I know, and doing the will of my Father. I don't know how this will look, but I am ready.

Remembering the word spoken to me.

  1. Your prayers have infinite power. It doesn't matter if you are able to see it in the physical realm because when you pray you are consumed in the spiritual realm.

  3. If you are being led by the spirit to go over there, then you should follow your calling. It is a wonderful thing that you did & a wonder thing that you plan on doing.
