and figure out where I'm at and what's important to me.
All I know is that I love and I live.
I have given my life to something bigger than myself.
I have a passion for music and photography.
I would give anything to take a year off and live somewhere out of contact, only with my camera and my guitar, and "build a relationship with nature" (as Ms. Gaffney would say).
Someday I'll do it, but until then I'll make the best of what I have here and that's people who love me.
I've got family who tries their best, and has shown me more love than anyone I know.
I don't have a broken family.
I've got friends who actually care about me, and I care about them. I know what real friendship is.
That will never leave me.
Then there's this.
I've got a house to come home to.
I've got food to eat whenever I need it.
I've got sanitary water.
I don't have to worry about the risk of being sold to a man in his 40s or even 60s.
I don't have to worry about not getting an education.
I don't have to worry about being killed for my beliefs.
I'd risk all of this.
I want to show the world love.
I've realized that I've been called to be a missionary.
That's great Megan! You'd be a great missionary! I'm so glad this has been revealed to you. Good luck when it comes time!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever make it big and have a bunch of money, I'll sponsor you fully! And even if I don't have a lot of money, I'll sponsor you with what I can! :)
You hit it right on the nose too, pointing out what many of us (me especially) tend to take for granted. You're awesome and I wuv you!
Daww, thanks
ReplyDelete:]
I wuv you too!
I <3 that you're going to be a missionary!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great if we could go on a trip together? To like Africa?!
Do you feel led anywhere?
I'm feeling Africa of course. lol
Well right now I'm sort of feeling overseas... but I want to start a family.
ReplyDeleteSo I don't know where God is leading me to go, I just know it's somwhere.
haha.
I've always wanted to do the first paragraph.
ReplyDeleteI thought about the Peacecorps a lot in highschool too... sometimes I really feel like extricating myself from my surroundings (comfortable and uncomfortable alike) would somehow save me and put me into perspective - or make me appreciate some of the ruts I've dug into my life - or maybe just let me loose from it all...
