So I sent out this email to family and friends asking them to pray for the summer trip. I've been collecting the responses, so that I can keep those people informed. I also intend to pray for those supporters in return. It's so encouraging to get emails from people saying that they are prayer for you (even if it is per your request).
One response has really been echoing in my head. It was from a wise and articulate friend from high school. She said, "I hope and pray you find what you're looking for in life." (!?) What I'm looking for!? My thoughts went, "I'm studying missions because I already found something, and I want to share it." Then, I had to check myself. I am still looking; I haven�t arrived, yet. Yes, I have purpose and direction, but the more I travel down the road, the farther, I realize, there is to travel. The more I learn, the more I find I don't know. This is not a depressing fact, but it's a truth that inspires me and drives me. The adventure of learning (about myself, God, others, the world, faith, history, etc.) brings so much color and sound to the adventure of life that, once you taste it, you start looking for more. I'm a truth addict. Give me another hit.
I, too, hope I find what I'm looking for, but I won't settle for anything until I'm with Christ.
