There are a lot of wild things in Africa. And when I think about traveling there I think about how my "wild" soul will fit in. I don't know that it will. God is taming the wild beast that rears up within me. One of the ways is through my quiet times. I think about how a person, a Christian and a follower of Christ must have to operate without a group of believers, that accountability surrounding them. That's one of the qualities that I pray for the missionaries there...that they would be surrounded by God somehow....through accountability, through his Word.
I understand to be a missionary you have to be a "self-feeder". That means...that if it were just me and God, I would have to depend on just HIM to satisfy this wild beast that lies within me. It is to this journey that I am dedicating myself too. It could be lonely and it will get painful but I am excited to see the benefit that His Spirit will produce in my soul. I press forward towards the goal of alone.
