“Ill be travelling on this road [for] long, just trying to find my way back home, the old me is dead and gone, dead and gone.” (T.I ft Justin Timberlake)

Random jam playing on the stereo, on a late night drive home, post-full day of admin at the Centre, E-Rally prep, ILC filming, and a fellowship as the cherry on the sundae. “Another dime, another dollar” (as the saying goes). Praise God for #missionlife.
What does Mission life feel like? Going through a “living” that is counter-cultural, a path less travelled, one that guarantees no absolute security (security as defined by the world, of course!)…? It’s always hard to capture in words the answer (an explosion of God’s love and faithfulness daily, maybe?), but this quote provided me some clarity tonight:
“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. How I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have fully know.” 1 Cor 13:12
It’s all temporaries in mission life; at some point in time, I believe it is a reality that He will call me to proclaim elsewhere, and this means never being called to stay in one place at once (Home is literally where your heart is), to be a blessings to others (being Christ wherever I go), and operating on no other time than God’s Divine Time. The only Absolute is God’s Loving calling to me every day in the Mission.
However crazy and daunting the notion of having no control, or being “at the mercy of life” , this is the most rewarding part of being a missionary. Holding unto to “nothing” allows me to be encased in this divine bubble, one that allows me to see Life in vivid colours: individuals as Gifts from the Lord, risks that provide opportunities of growth in faith, trials as a means for the Lord to have His way in me. I am never fully “home”, but the journey itself is preparing my soul for my one “true home” …which might lies somewhere beyond Cloud nine, haa. #love #Corinthians13
Walk with your feet on earth, but in your heart be in heaven. (St-John Bosco)
