A Faith Like That.....

We have a family friend who loaded up on a plane yesterday for the first time to leave the comforts of home and travel to some of the most desolate placed in the world to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. As I prayed for his safety and for the souls that he will come into contact with during his 11 MONTH journey, I couldn't help but think, I wish I had faith like that! Our friend is in his early 20's and unlike most of the people his age, he is laying everything at the foot of the cross and is following God's will for his life in a way that should inspire us all. I can't say that I have ever felt called to travel abroad as a Missionary, but I want to live my life with the kind of faith that if I ever did feel called, I would not hesitate at obeying the call. I have also started thinking about the difference that I make in the lives of the people that I come into contact with on a daily basis. Chris is traveling around the world to make a difference in the lives of people that he has never met, surely I can do something to share God's love with the people who I see and talk to everyday.

On the radio this morning (a morning without K-LOVE is a bad morning for me!) there was a lady speaking about the spiritual journey her family had been on when they offered Jesus a gift that would eventually change their lives forever. They each promised to do something everyday for an entire year for someone out of God's love. They began to pray and God began to show them people who needed to be loved on, and that's just what they did. WOW! That is so inspiring to me!

Please pray for our friend Chris as he follows God into parts of the world that we cannot even imagine their way of life.
