One of the reminders for me about over 3 years back or even more when it all started was Steven Curtis Chapman's look into Operation Auca in the 50s. This story took my attention in a way that only questioned my life and the life that I wanted. I do not know if He is calling me into missions but the whole idea of losing oneself for another for the sake of the gospel is beyond what I thought was a crazy idea and I never thought that I would ever go that far.
I may not be going into jungles, or at least not yet but I was convicted to what am I willing to go through here in civilization and to give up my life and comfort for the gospel. As I am reminded of hardships that comes along the way, I need to also remind myself the hope and purpose of the gospel. I am yet to face harder challenges ahead but I need and want to be reminded that I am living for the crazy adventure with God.
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose
