Missions, preaching, and being a woman

Since my college days I wanted to be a peace corps volunteer. When God saved me in 2006 that changed into wanting to do missions work. Now fast-foward to 2009 when I went to California because of a deep desire to evangelize, to be a witness. I want to see the lost saved and God made me a woman. I have a role God has called me to yet where does that leave the yearning to go and proclaim, where does that leave my desire to be sent... God is so great and terrifying. He says live and we live, He shuts and opens doors. I will submit to what God wants, His will be done and I will be honest this terrifies me. I wanted to be a missionary, I wanted to be an evangelist, I even wanted to be a wife and mother but I lay it before the Lord. May I die that God may dwell in me more richly. I want to cry but if this is what it takes not to have a shallow "christianity", let it be done. I lay it before God my life my all its His anyway. God to You belongs the power, the glory, the dominion, the majesty, the glory forever and ever. Amen.
