{Send Me!}

As I think about the hours ahead, my heart realizes the hurdle that must be jumped first. Leaving.  I'm leaving my husband and my boys.  It is the  very last thing my instinct tells me to do.  I feel the tug to stay in the comfort of my own home, the comfort of my own city, the comfort of my own country.  My comfort zone is completely natural for me.  Leaving...it's unnatural, it goes against my every instinct.  But leaving is what He has called me to do.  Leaving is what he is called all of us to do, in one way or another.  Whether it is walking across the street, driving across town, or flying across an ocean, in His name, for His glory.  

In Mark 10:29-30, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time..."



I'm a wife of a great man, and a mother to two amazing little boys, but above it all......I'm His obeying daughter. 

"What does it mean to say, “I worship you, Jesus”? It means, “I reverence you, treasure you, and cherish you above all things.” - Piper, (thanks Dwan!)

As a I put my sweet boys to bed tonight, I'm sure there will be tears shed.  Let's be honest, I woke up crying this morning. But there will also be an overwhelming peace that brings a smile to my face, knowing the joy of what is about to happen as I tend to the sheep of another flock. His sheep will hear his voice.  I will be His voice.  I will go.   Send me. 

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
 "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?  And I said, "Here am I.  Send me!"  
Isaiah 6:8
