that's right, it's missions week[s] at bethlehem. i've never been so excited about it. this year, i'm totally stoked. possibly because of all the cross-cultural experiences i've had this summer. maybe it's just from being around bbc another year.
not sure.
regardless, tonight at connection, my guatemala team gave a report, as well as two other missionaries sent from bethlehem. i loved remembering guatemala and witnessing the excitement and joy with which the other missionaries shared about their work and lives.
hmm, returning to my first thought:
maybe i'm so thrilled about missions week because i'm not scared of missions anymore. i used to fear that one day God would call me away from my family, friends, church, and life in america. for me, that was the scariest thing in the world. i don't fear that anymore. in fact, i think it would be incredible. now, i haven't sensed a definite call to become a career missionary, but i am totally open and willing.
conviction of the week: i don't pray nearly enough. and when i do, it often is about me. i want to be a woman of prayer. i want to live like i believe it changes things. i want to pray for others, especially our missionaries around the globe.
praise God for his faithfulness in my life and in the lives of so many who have giving their lives for the advancement of the gospel around the world.
