Mutating Missionary

God does not send us into the dangerous and exacting life of faith because we are qualified; He chooses in order to qualify us for what he wants us to be or do." Eugene Peterson

winsome \WIN-suhm\,
adjective:
1. Cheerful; merry; gay; light-hearted.
2. Causing joy or pleasure; agreeable; pleasant.

I have always loved this word.
Today on my dictionary word of the day, this word appeared.
I am looking for a few winsome days.

I returned today from several days in Switzerland.

I was one of a few women facilitating at a women's conference. I didn't blog after the first day of arrival - the days were too filled.

Filled with more than just facilitating/learning (sometimes the facilitators learn more during facilitation then they ever expected - this was one of those times).

They were filled with learning, growing, relationship building with women ministering in Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia... the countries represented!

WOW!

They were filled with getting to know a few women really well. They were filled with amazing new friendships and new partnerships.

So, Saturday I fly to England. I fly to seek a few winsome days, a few introspective days, a few days of silence, of setting goals for the future, of quiet talks with new friends.

Interesting that I am going to a country that speaks my mother tongue and I am called to use most of the days in silence, observing the winsome days with Him as my companion. He does have a sense of humor!

    A little about me

    I am in the world almost every day. Okay, daily.
    Are you?

    I am called to be salt and light.

    A few days ago, one of the waiters at the local diner that I frequent in the wee hours of the morning shared some very personal information. I looked as she opened up her heart with her pitcher of coffee poised in her hand, ready to pour - but not pouring. She held it as if it were a shield. The longer she shared her heart the lower the coffee pot dropped. And finally when she asked me my thoughts, the coffee pot sat beside me on the table. We talked. We laughed. We shared our lives and our thoughts. It was a time to shine a little light and sprinkle a little salt.

    Are you finding places that you meet people searching for the same things?

    I have been a commissioned missionary. I left the foreign mission field in November of 2014. Now I am a home missionary. Not commissioned by an organization. Commissioned by Jesus.

    Life is a mission field. I was a missionary in my classroom as a teacher before I left for the foriegn mission field. Before that I was a missionary with my family, neighbors and even in my church. I was a missionary from the moment I accepted Christ as my Savior at age 7.

    So are you.

    We are mutating missionaries.
    I'm blogging about the experience. Wanna join me?
