Everyday Is A New Mission Trip

Trains, planes, and automobiles.

The first of those three is my ride today, which means I am city bound once again. I remembered my habit a few years back. While I was on mission trips, we would take buses everywhere to do ministry and that would be the moments that I would consistently blog to let people know what's going on. If God has taught me anything, it is that each day is a new mission trip, wherever He leads me. So here I am today, blogging once again from my phone. Time to reflect.

Second semester of my sophomore year is on the horizon, the dawn is breaking on yet a new adventure. It amazes me how much The Lord has done in simply three semesters.

•I have learned how to live in the city of Chcago

•Grown immensely in knowledge and experience at Moody Bible Institute and Moody Publishers

•Faced stressors and mistakes that The Lord has used to sharpen my faith furthermore with his faithfulness

•Grown in many new relationships and deepened those that were already close

•Faced with more opportunity to serve God than ever before with each new day

•I am now preparing for the future with the love of m my life

•I have learned that each day is a new day, His mercies are new and being made new in me within each breath he allows

Socrates said, "As for me, all I know is that I know nothing". I am no where near having this thing called life figured out, but I have learned my duty while on this earth. Until this life has passed, I am to glorify The Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind and love those around me as Christ does.

As life is whisking by quickly, my commitment is to hold nothing back from The Lord. That's always been easy to say, but God is now giving me chances to practically live that out. I have Him alone to thank for this life He's blessed me with, especially for a family that is not without flaws, but loves Christ and the life He's given.

All in all, what the Father is pressing on my heart today: As Christ followers, we are not here to save the world, but to show the world who is the one that has saved the world and gives hope to each person, no matter their circumstance. Praise Him.
