As I lay here and ask "what did I really leave behind?" I think about my whole life that I dropped for the next two months and how I ended up in a place so foreign to me, but yet so pretty. I lay here drenched in sweat and the humidity is killing my hair, and everyone else around me. You may ask "well why did you leave? Why did you you go somewhere where your comfort zone will be no more?" And is all I can say is when my Father in heaven called, I answered and ended up here. Yes this a sacrifice for us, but in the end every drop of sweat I drip will be for The Lord God almighty and will have known that when you leave your comfort zone, when you leave your friends and family and everything you know behind in your home town to do what you were meant to do, every bit of this adventure will be worth it. It will be worth all the traveling,all the jet lag, all the tiredness, everything. Let me share something with you; I will not walk out of this country with once inch of regret. Every time I sweat and can't sleep I have to realize that it's not about me, it's about serving others, being a servant to Jesus. It's time to do damage for His kingdom. It's time to show the world that there is no other greater sacrifice than this one we are living right now. Why did I end up on the other side of the world? I'm not sure yet but I am loving every minute of it and when I realize why I am really here I will be back again to share. Next time you sweat, count the drops coming from your forehead and ask yourself "what do these drops mean?" Because to me it's a reminder of who I'm serving and that's the greatest reward in it all.
