Ever since becoming an MV, there has always been a sense of, I guess change, in my personality. Not in a sense where it dampens how I am, but I definitely feel more inclined to give up more and more.
I was catching up with an awesome friend from across the nation, and we both came to the conclusion that this is what is part of the mission life. God calls us to give up a lot more of our valuable time, for His service AND as all this is going, we are tempted and tested each day to the fullest capacity.
SO…again, what’s the point of all this dibber dabber?
I wouldn’t have expected anything less. I really affirm those who have already answered the full time calling. As I continue to immerse myself everyday in the culture and lifestyle that not just of a missionary, but a Catholic missionary, it is evident that the this part of the molding process is when God’s hands are really working, pushing, trying to keep things in place.
I just love this community. Simply put. It has tested me so much, to the point of tears, stress etc etc, but always has it never ever let me fail to realize how beautiful it is, to sacrifice whatever it is you’ve given up, for whoever to know who Jesus Christ is and how much He longs for all of us.
Deo Gloria.
