I know we are going to be working our butts off and doing lots of manual labor most of the time, but I cannot wait for the rest! I feel like we are SOO busy here!

This is what I want, but what am I willing to give up to become one of these people?
Lord I have a heavy burden of all I've seen and know. It's more than I can handle, but your word is burning like a fire shut up in my bones and I cannot let it go.
Lord it's all that I can't carry and cannot leave behind. It often overwhelms me, but when I think of all who've gone before and lived the faithful life, their courage compells me. And when I'm weary and overwrought, with so many battles left unfought, I see the shepherd Moses in the Pharohs court. I hear his call for freedom for the people of the Lord
And when the Saints go marching in, I want to be one of them
I see the long quiet walk along the Underground Railroad. I see the slave awakening to the value of her soul. I see the young missionary and the angry spear. I see his family returning with no trace of fear. I see the long hard shadows of Calcutta nights. I see the sisters standing by the dying man's side. I see the young girl huddled on the brothel floor. I see the man with a passion come and kicking down the door. I see the man of sorrows and his long troubled road. I see the world on his shoulders and my easy load.
And when the Saints go marching in, I want to be one of them

Faith
Faith: "belief and trust in and loyalty to God." - Merriam Webster
Faith: "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." - Hebrews 11:1
Faith: "Cause I gotta have faith. I gotta have faith. Because I got to have faith, faith, faith. I got to have faith, faith, faith" -George Michael..OK inappropriate...
I'm learning a lot about faith right now. I have always wanted to leave America and go do missions. I have felt that for a while now, but recently I feel like God was telling me that I needed to stay here. I was becoming content with the idea of living missionaly here. I was ready for it (which is pretty big for me because for so long I have wanted to leave) Now John is seriously considering moving to another country to work with sex slave trafficking. I don't know how I feel about all of this, but I know that God is teaching me what faith looks like, and while I'm scared, I'm very excited to put all of my faith in Him. I have a feeling we are going to have a crazy life ahead of us. We shall see.
