It was thirty-three years ago this month that I drove out to a park with a small lake in my city on a Sunday morning and while praying rededicated my life to Jesus. My prayer was along the lines of, “wherever you want me to go, whatever you want me to do.”
Over the past thirty-three years, there have certainly been valley times and some very deep like almost dying, recovering, and sorting out what God wanted me to do, I have certainly seen down times financially. For almost thirty years I have lived with chronic illness.
There have been wonderful experiences such as my ministry trips, seven to Romania, one to France, one to Mexico, and two to Brazil. Jesus has allowed me the privilege of meeting people from around the world living in my city , sharing his love and gospel with them, and teaching them English.
If one thinks about the hardships I have experienced since that Sunday morning in July 1989, one might think I would regret the prayer and wish I had merely prayed about coming back to him. But I do not regret it. To say I regret it would be to regret all of the incredible opportunities he has given me to share him with others. It would also mean I regret meeting all of the refugees and immigrants I have met.
No I certainly do not regret my decision and prayer. I am grateful Jesus has called me to reach the nations. It is my privilege to continue saying yes to the call of Jesus.
I would like to share a golden oldie with you. It is a song by the group First Call called Lord of All. It is the song I was listening to when I prayed that Sunday morning.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
