"Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
Easier "read" than done in my case. :) But one thing I know for sure, God's peace definitely surpasses my understanding!
With Craig in Romania, each of us has been thinking about our future in missions. He is growing and praying and being mentored over there. I am growing and praying over here. (Dont' so much have the mentor part...)
Should we be overseas missionaries? Latvia, Romania, some other place? Should we be missionaries where we are and take a few trips each year to these other places? What should our missionary lives look like? We have been called to international missions, but as I am learning there are TONS of opportunities for that right here in our area. How can we overlook these people who need Jesus, too? But on the flip side, how can we overlook those still in other countries who need Jesus and lots of physical help?
I am being presented with many opportunities for international missions over the next few months. I will be praying over which ones to do. I know I can't do them all because of finances and life in general, but I would like to do many of them.
How do we know what to do? What would best suit our family? More importantly, which option does God want us to choose? Why does it seem like all I ever do is to ask questions?
I do know one thing for sure, though--God has given all of us a heart for His people ALL over the world and a desire to know them, help them, love them. I pray that we will fulfill our part of going into all nations and making disciples for Jesus Christ!!
I can't wait til Craig gets back and we can have a real heart to heart about his experiences during this trip to Romania. Hopefully we'll plan a family mission trip to Romania in the semi-near future as well!
