Do people understand that we’re in a crisis here? Something needs to happen, fast. Let’s pray, starting now till we see the end of this.
I got a letter in the mail today and was reminded that it was missions season. Around this time of the year, churches and organizations gather funds and volunteers to go overseas in the summer and either participate in or simply observe the work being done.
One of my good friends Sarj, who owns her own business and works another full time job on top of that, has made the bold step to set aside such responsibilities to serve God in another country for three weeks this summer. She’ll be going to one of the world’s most isolated countries to plant seeds of prayer and God’s love. Knowing how much of a workaholic that she is, I imagine this trip to be a big commitment on her part and something that she’s very convicted to do. I’m so happy for her!
Sarj and I share a similar passion and I’m so glad she gave me the opportunity to support her on this trip. I remember the summer when we became friends while sharing a room together in Westwood. We were young and had no idea what we wanted to do with our lives, but knew that we shared a certain vision for our future, and that each of us possessed a different set of resources/talents that could be pooled together to accomplish something. That’s when we drew up a long-term goal to execute our vision. We wanted to open burrito stands in East Asia, be successful, then build our business and political credibility to expand our restaurant venture to NK. but shhhh, don’t tell anyone of our plan. Doesn’t it sound like a gold mine? I think we even thought of what to do with all the money we’ll be making, but I don’t want to bore you, readers! .. I should really learn how to keep my brilliant ideas to myself anyways. 
Some prayer requests from Sarj:
O man, thinking about all this missions stuff has made me reminisce about the summer I went to Indonesia. He loves that country so much. EYE love that country so much. I want to go back so badly!
Man, I look so young. Feeling really old right now….
about what it takes to be a virtuous woman. It’s so overwhelming!
