missions

so it's been on my mind a lot lately how much i wanna go on a missions trip. i always saw myself either being in full time missions for going on a long term missions trip. but now, i'm not so sure if that'll happen and it makes me pretty sad. i know i could always do a long term missions thing, but being in full time missions doesn't seem to be in my future being with Chris.

it started today because i saw a post david labahn put up about being in the missions field and teach english as a second language to kids whose first language is spanish. it's crazy how things change. i've always known that david wanted to be in the missions field and i always thought that i would be right there along with him. as cheesy and ridiculous as it sounds, i really and truly did.

now i'm thinking about how much i miss being in the missions field. how huge my passion is for it. i know i could always go somewhere over the summer. it wouldn't be able to be this summer, it would have to be next summer. but i'm definitely considering it. i could be gone for like 2 months. it obviously depends on a lot of things like work and money. but it's something that i want to look into.

maybe i can even get Chris to go with me. maybe not for such a long time. but maybe we can find a shorter trip like a week or so. it's always been a desire of mine to serve God in that way with the guy i'm with. it's just such an amazing humbling experience and to be able to experience that with someone whose that close to you is absolutely amazing. it's a change that both of you can go through together. i really hope that one day Chris and i will be able to do that together.
