Sema





























I am going on the Milwaukee trip this year because I love Christ Jesus with my whole entire heart and I can't imagine how life would be with out Him. I want to be His hands and His feet wherever I go. I want to show the world His love.

Lately I've been caught up in the fundraising parts of my trip (setting up an Etsy shop, going to the car wash, babysitting, crafting, selling candy) and I haven't been thinking about why I'm going on the trip in the first place. Once in awhile I'll get aggravated with a sibling and demand them to leave me alone because... I need to raise money to serve God's people??? It doesn't fit and for a very good reason. You can not serve God with your whole heart if you don't have your heart in the right place. What makes me think that I can serve the people in Milwaukee with God's heart if I can't even serve my own brothers and sisters with that kind of heart?

So officially my missions trip doesn't start until August 1st, but in reality my service begins right here at home. Helping out a sibling with homework requires just as much of a servant's heart (or even more) than preparing a meal at a homeless shelter. God calls us all to be his missionaries, both in the mission field and at home. What I have now realized is how much I've been neglecting the latter. So pray for me please, as I work on this new challenge of serving the people around me here in Pittsburgh.
