I am out for sure now. I have committed to mission projects through March 2008. I am excited about serving the Lord and feel my energy is up. But I have been reading about the energy cycle of a missionary and how it is the highest before going; can get low at the start, rises after settling in, then difficulty with transition back to life away from the mission field.
Well, he I go. I just got back from 10 days in Florida and Mississippi doing disaster assistance. I am learning more and more it is not the work, it is the relationships. It is how we treat each other and how we show love to those who are in pain.
I volunteered to be our cook in Florida and learn more about serving and the role women have done in preparing and serving food. I though a lot about the role of a man was from sun up to sun down and a woman’s work was never done.
I have met with my mission teams to Malawi, Mexico and Nicaragua. Each person represents new and exciting skills and gifts. I pray for my love to each one as we go out together. There will be times of discomfort and stress. I pray for God’s comfort on us all and the ability to show love towards others, especially in difficult times.
WEC International in Fort Washington, PA is in need of a project manger. I have agreed to work with them from August to March 2008. This site is the sending site for missionaries worldwide. Retired missionaries, missionaries on leave and missionaries in training live at the facilities. I am excited about providing project management skills in this setting. I pray for God’s guidance and understand of my role as a missionary and how and if I should serve the Lord this way.
My blessing to each of you. I do appreciate your continued support and notes. Please check my Blog for additional activities, pictures, notes, etc.
Zikomo,
