Sometimes, when I’m sharing my story of how God is calling me to overseas missions, some of my friends start to feel ‘lesser-than’ or beneath me because they still have regular vocations, and that’s simply not true.

I can honestly say I don’t think there have been a lot of people as pessimistic about this course as I was when I first drove in over those gigantic Eastwest signature speed bumps.

The lack of clarity around Goodbye protocol could make one cry out for the strict regimented structure of olden-day England, and as a woman, that’s saying something.

We can be guilty of letting honour and opinion become more important than the actual truth of the calling.

It’s really easy to think that because Europe has Christian heritage and history, they no longer require missionaries to work there.

I don’t often let myself get bored, but when I do, there seem to be extreme consequences.

Maybe distraction is the modern-day good person’s crack cocaine.

The sooner we acknowledge the bothness in us all, the sooner we can move towards real peace, both inwardly and outwardly.

Sometimes I feel like an absolute failure. And missionaries aren’t really supposed to be the failing type.

When trying to find a good book to read, I think about what my life might be lacking at the time, and I try fill that gap. And lately, the gap has been spiritual growth.

It’s been a rough season. And it didn’t take long for the cracks to start showing.

This weekend became our No Going Back Now moment.

I find myself making better life choices when I’m in the audio binge phase.

Hint: We’re all jaded, frumpy, irrelevant Bible bashers.

One of the things we can do from this side of the adventure is to be purposeful about certain actions that will smooth out the overall transition.

Preparation for the journey has not been all I thought it would be.

Here are just a few of the ways that we are preparing for our journey that missionaries even just a decade ago didn’t have access to.

Grab your togs and go suss out a beach in the wop wops before your friend packs a sad and carks it.

It’s an important decision! Here’s how we made it.
