Are we regretting our decision to pursue missions? Not for a second. And yet, there are still feelings of loss present as we joyfully approach the mission field. There truly is a cost. There are a lot of conversations that have been cut short, maybe never to be completed on this earth. There is the reality that our parents are not getting any younger. There is a loss of healthy Christian fellowship. We will not get to watch our friends’ kids grow up.
I poured out my heart to a friend in California and, while she was very empathetic, she reminded me of some wonderful truths:
All the pleasure I have known
To pursue surpassing treasures
At the throne of God the Son
Amen. Thank you for serving Christ the way you do and for the love you have for the lost. Thank you! And Praise God for His work in you. We look forward to seeing what He does in your life and others. It was so nice to see you guys.
