"There must needs be an opposition in all things"
A
very wise man said that. A wise man that I, for one, trust. So while
things may seem dark and dreary, I don't have a doubt in my mind that
good things are on their way.
I won't go into the details of this week, but let's
just say that Sister Herring and I have really learned how to rely on
one another. And maybe that's just what the Lord wanted from us this week!
Either way, I'm happy to have had another week here
in Virginia, laboring in the name of the Lord. It truly is a blessing.
Even when the bad days come, it really is okay. It's okay because I know
that I'm doing something very important, something of a lot of worth.
So when the people don't listen, and the time seems ill spent--I just
remember that I am 100% exactly where the Lord wants me. I am not
cheating Him out of any of the time that He has to have me work where I
am. And I will be forever grateful to Him for allowing me to do that.
As
a missionary, I recognize that it's very easy to say, "I'm serving the
Lord each and every day." However, the commandment to do so is not
exclusive to those of us with this pretty little name tag. So, I would
encourage you to always, always, always be looking for something
to do so that you can say that at the end of each of your days, as well.
Maybe keep a journal, and list the things that you did to serve our
Lord. I promise that as you do so, you will begin to search for more and
more ways to keep serving.
"When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God."
