Doing Something!

To be inspired is one thing and to do something is a different story. We find things in life that motivates us to get involved but some times it stops with the thought. What happens when I get home from a mission trip, do my actions just stop there? I don't think so. When other people go on mission trips they are totally on fire for God but some people start losing that passion for spreading the gospel when they get home. Why should we be totally on fire for God when we're away from home but then go on with our normal lives. My goal is to not stop when I leave Houston. I want to get involved in shelters, food pantry's, etc. I encourage everybody to get out there and do something. When you minister to someone and you bless them it will wind up blessing you. When you see the smiles on their faces it's priceless. Another thing is that a mission field doesn't always have to be miles away. Your mission field can be your backyard, your family, your neighbors. You don't always have to preach the gospel you can live your life completely for God. People will put you on a pedestal because you call yourself a Christian so live up to those standards. We have one life to live, a special life, and not everyone knows that. I'm not saying drop your normal routine and go volunteer...I just love working with the community. The thing I've learned is that it doesn't matter where I am in the world...I could be in my living room...I'm a missionary. Be a witness. Be a light.
