What an amazing journey you’ve had. It reminds me of an athlete who trains for years and then an injury or life circumstance removes the opportunity. God has a plan for even this. You have gifts that the world needs. Your story will affect many lives well into eternity. Keep pressing in and God will use you.
Finally getting to reading these and I love this series. So much to unpack and digest here. Thank you for sharing your experience. As someone who never felt the "call" to international missions, I always felt like one of the "lesser" Christians, so I truly appreciate the light this sheds on that side of the coin.
Tabitha, thank you for sharing your journey. We had to leave the mission field because of my son's disability. We thought we would be there forever. We have found great hope and joy in the ordinary. It took a little while. God is good. I appreciate you.
I would love to tell you. I'm just dipping my toe in this community. Maybe once I get brave enough, I'll come to this "Christian Faith in Writing" thing I've been hearing about, and I'll tell you there.
"I’ve learned that the kingdom of God doesn’t require a few of us to be radical but for all of us to be faithful." No truer words! Loved this!
If the church truly embraced this, people would start calling it radical.
I think you're right!

It was a curve ball for sure. Thank you for the encouragement!

Yes, that sense of superiority was harmful for all of us!

Wow, I would love to hear that story sometime. It’s a lesson so many of us need to learn, not just those of us who were doing “big” things.
