It's the first day of my new life as a missionary in training, and I'm still completely freaked out. Everyone is so nice and friendly, and they act like they already know you the first time you meet. I'm just not that kind of girl. Is there any place in missions for introverts? God made me the way I am. He knows I'm a bit hesitant and shy around new people. But He's the one who called me here. He wouldn't call me into this if He didn't think I could do it, would He?
Dr. West said something this morning that really spoke to me. None of us are suited for this task. None of us are worthy to carry a gift as precious as the gospel. We have to empty ourselves and be filled with Christ. When I received Christ, I got all of Him - His love, forgiveness, grace, mercy, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But He didn't get all of me. The rest of my life should be about continuing the process of giving Him more and more of me.
