God's way

Ps 27:4: "One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple."

Missionaries

Alright, my mom will freak out when she'll read this. I'm always very touched when missionaries from our church come back and tell everybody about they're experiences. All I can think of is "That's SO cool". Maybe it's because I'm young and any adventure looks really exciting, like going to a foreign country (and, as Mom would say, I'm already in a foreign country, but it's with sort of selfish purposes). But I don't have such strong feelings towards anything else (this is almost as strong as what I felt when I heard God calling to save me). Of course, I wouldn't do anything stupid (like packing and going to India without telling anybody), I'd first wait for God's instructions (not that He already told me I'm going to be a missionary). Still, I just have this great joy toward taking the Word of God to the farthest margins of the earth, and towards the idea of giving everything up for Him. And I really hope that if God will ever call me to move to a land far-far away, i'll be able to leave everything with only the great joy of doing His will.

ok,I'm freaking out all right!
I have nothing to say about calls,a call is ...a call all right.But I think we have so many opportunities to talk about God in our daily life,opportunities that we generally waste,with friends,neibourghs family,at work,etc.
But I admit it's somehow easier to tell an aborigen in Australia about God than to the guy next door.
And beware what you wish 'cause God might grant it to you in a way you might not like at all.:)

:) I LOVE you, Mom !! You can be sure that God has the best possible plan about my life. If I'm not going to listen to His call, my life will be less perfect :). I'm pretty sure He won't have a plan that would make you unhappy too. I think we just have to be ready to do anything for Him (or that our kids do anything for Him :) ). I'm not looking for the easiest way. I'll talk to the neighbors about God if He'll send me to do that.
