Living with a Mission

Life is not about me. Life on this earth is one breath of air. Life after earth goes on forever. Life is all about Jesus. Life is a gift. Life is only alive if it's being lived.

If I have no idea how long I'll have this life on earth, why wouldn't I seize every opportunity everyday alongside Jesus in everything I do?

Here's what God is teaching me: Every day is a mission trip. 

Here's why: Hurting people are everywhere. 

I could be in Africa, Tipp City Ohio, a circle K gas station, trying on clothes in Target, Oklahoma, at work for 17 hours, making dinner for friends, a Tennessee Subway, or walking down the street giving flowers to strangers, and my mission never changes.

As long as my perspective remains, the circumstance does not matter.

I exist to give hope and reflect the One whom I love: Jesus.

As I walk with Christ and His power to do the impossible lives in my heart, it would only make sense to chase the impossible and pursue the hurting and broken people to my left and to my right.

His endless pursuit of my heart is the driving force behind my mission. As I'm captivated by His love, I'm pushed to pursue the hurting and give them the hope He whispers to me every single moment of the day.
