As a missionary we have to miss things that are very important in our lives. Things that we have been waiting our whole life to see. Things that only happen once in our lives.
We miss Birthdays, graduations, funerals, weddings, family gatherings and more. Giving up these things are just part of the Job. We can’t look at the things we are missing and be too down about them because we are doing some thing so much bigger and better.
Easier said then done.
When we are told about the important things that we are missing no doubt they are going to hurt and we wish we were back in the states and able to be there.
But God didn’t just call us here, he called us to give and leave everything we have.
Just because I am not there does not mean that I don’t want to be or that I don’t care. I know that God will take care of me and that his plan is more important then the things of this world.
I love you all and miss you all a ton. And I will be back home before you know it.
27 months is only a short time in our lives. We choose how to handles things, like to make the relationships work or let them fall apart. I don’t want them to fall apart, I want them to become stronger and worth more then just surface relationships. It takes more work but so much better in the future.
I just never realized how hard it would be to miss those important times.
But in weakness there is strength, find your strength and hold on to it. Don’t let your weakness and distress take over.
