Sometimes the reality of missionary life hits. Hard.
Tonight is one of those nights for me. Summer is winding down, and we’ll soon be saying goodbye to family and friends again. I know it’s only for a semester. I know we can drive back for a visit if we want. I know it’s not the full fledged overseas experience.
But I’ve never liked goodbyes and I don’t think I ever will.
Nights like tonight force me to re-evaluate what we’re giving our lives to – what we’re giving our children’s childhood to. What we’re unintentionally forcing our extended families to give up. Is it worth it?
And God reminds me of those people who are living and dying in some far off jungle. Living in fear of spirits, without even the opportunity to hear about Jesus. Without a choice. Is it worth it?
Yes. It is.

Rev. 4:11
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”
