January 13, 2008 ⏤ Joy in abundance - my new year's request

11/22/2017

The door is closed to 2007. The beauty of 2008 is here.
Appearing icy and cold, it will warm in me.
As I step into its silence,
into its openness,
into its adventure -
These icy fireworks burst into life.
I will find warmth
I will find JOY
I will find Him
He waits for me there.

Joy
yes
Joy
yes
Joy
comes...

2008 hello!

Your mutating missionary

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?
