"Not called!'" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

Then look Christ in the face ~whose mercy you have professed to obey ~ and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

~suitcase~

Today in church my friends daughter - the one who can't live without me - drew me a picture of Guatemala. We got to talk a bit more about what I would be doing, and the fact that I would be a missionary there. She has a really clear vision of her own mission field. But I get the sense that God has something even greater planned for her down the road where missions are concerned. I told her so when she asked if she could come with me in my suitcase to Guatemala. As much as I would love to bring her, I am pretty sure here mommy and daddy would miss her too much! :)
