Today I gave a persuasive speech on why everyone should participate in short-term missions. All of a sudden, I had a craving to be dirty, sunburned and overjoyed to have loving children wrapped in my arms as we taught them the gospel.
I think of the person I was back then, and I'm amazed to see who I'm becoming now.
I'd like to think I'm more fearless, more hopeful and more on fire for Christ than I was four years ago.
I remember being scared out of my mind when I volunteered to share my testimony after we presented our evangelical drama in Peru. I never imagined that now I would be eager to go back, test my limits, stretch myself and speak up.
I pray the Lord would allow me to go out into the world and fulfill the Great Commission soon! This time, it will be different. This time, I refuse to limit Christ's work in me!

Melissa, this is such an encouragement to me! I will be going on a missions trip this summer (my 1st one). Will you pray for me?
I don't want to limit Christ's work in me, either!
p.s. I love the picture of those little girls ;)
Of course! When are you going?
