May 13, 2008 Prayer

11/30/2017

"Prayer is a radical conversion of all our mental processes because in prayer we move away from ourselves, our worries, preoccupation, and self-gratification - and direct all that we recognize as ours to God in the simple trust that through His love all will be made new."
Henri Nouwen

Prayer, the activity that appears to be inactive. Prayer, a time where I must put my schedules, my designs away and wait on His. Prayer, a place I come to understand: my ways are not His ways. Prayer, where the world's ideas and answers, the world's boxes, the world's cultural mores clash with HIM! Prayer where I am surprised by Him, I am gifted good gifts through my Father!

Prayer – I find joy
Prayer – I find peace
Prayer – I find grace
Prayer – I find love, perfect love.

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?
