"¿Eres una misionera?"

Since I've been in Mexico various people have asked me this question, and I don't like to think of myself as a missionary. I don't really see myself as one. But as Christians are called to always be ready to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who ask, I am out of place, therefore, questions are raised about what I'm doing here in Mexico. And in response I share how God was and is working in me and opened this door for me to go deeper with Him.

My time here is short, just a year commitment. In the future I would like spend a longer amount of time in another land with my soon-to-be husband Fugie. We are praying and preparing ourselves for the time when He will summon us to Him in a foreign land. Whether we are called to go during the early years of our marriage or much later when our children (God willing by his grace) are grown and in college, when He calls us, we will be ready. Aside from me learning Spanish and him learning Greek that they might become useful for ministry, we continue to learn day by day how to draw closer to Him, to seek His face and will for our life together.

So, though my concept and perception of what a missionary is, I am thankful to be here in Mexico. I have made some amazing friends and have been encouraged in so many ways to see and be a small apart of what God is doing here. Glory to God in the Highest. Amen.
