When I first started thinking about missions, I emailed a lady in our church about it; she's in the missions department and has been a part of my life as long as I can remember
She emailed me back and said the most memorable thing to me
‘Please don't think that if this is from God, everything will go smoothly from the beginning. In the years that I've been involved in Missions (okay life), that is rarely the case. Randy Pausch wrote in his book "The Last Lecture", that we will have brick walls in our paths from time to time. He states that "brick walls are there for a reason. They're not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something." I couldn't agree more. I think back a couple of years ago and know that God was working in you then regarding serving Him in a different way’
I could never have imagined that the things that would hinder us in our pursuit of this call would be so big.
