Ever since my missions experience to Baja, Mexico my urgency to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ has increased. I am faced with the reality that I traveled quite a distance after raising quite a bit of money to reach people I'd never met before and may never meet again. My confidence was ignited, I spoke with excitement in front of the 83 other missionaries I'd traveled with as well as a crowd of Mexicans who came to hear the good news we had for them. And here I am, back in NC wondering why I haven't told my loved ones and my neighbors about Jesus dying for them to have freedom while here on this Earth and an eternity of life in Heaven.
A while back, I saw a fella who was born without legs talking about how he doens't make excuses. He did everything I do on a daily basis and so much more. Well, I have never forgotten him and try to follow his lead. I still make tons of lame excuses, but will remember his example and try to step up to the plate. Well, my new desire to not have any regrets goes hand in hand with not making excuses. For example, I would regret not telling a loved one that Jesus loves him or her... so natually I have to let go of the excuses which have kept me from sharing Christ's love thus far. I have begun stepping out in faith and obedience and trust God to lead them into His glory as my friends, family, and neighbors step out of their lives as they know them into His Kingdom and righteousness.
