Loved

I want to be loved and accepted. It's hard when you are single to feel that way. Yet God's promise to His children is assured. His covenant love is a promised sealed by the blood of Christ that promises a blood bought bride. I wonder though how could God love me.... Yet God promises otherwise.

Regrets

I find myself a lot looking at things I could have done differently, at embarrassing moments, at what I would change.
Yet I have to remind myself not to look at what lies behind but to look ahead to that point in time where I see Christ face to face....

A Desire for Missions

I watch documentaries. I read their biographies. Men and women who forsake their old manner of life and security to gain what they cannot lose.
Mark 8:34-35 ESV
And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.

There are people who have not heard the truth of the Gospel. People who have heard mangled truth deceived into believing false doctrine about God and about Jesus.
1 Corinthians 1:22-25 ESV
For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

When I go to different countries I always want to see the work of God there. Believers are family no matter where they are. The body is United in Christ.
Anyway I am restless right now knowing that God has me here in Minnesota for now but wanting God to take me somewhere to show love and hospitality to the brethren wherever God would have me. To encourage the body, that Jesus Christ would be glorified.
