Even though I AM the one who is overseas, I struggle with some of the same things that you do. Or maybe in a different way. I struggle with the feelings of – What in the world am I doing here? I don’t feel like I am doing anything lasting for the kingdom at all – I might as well be doing “nothing” back in the States! i don’t feel like I am living an “exciting” life at all! But, i know that I am where God wants me, and that is the most important thing, right? To obey Him and to listen for His voice!

I didn’t know we had similar stories. I also prepared for the mission field. My last semester at seminary I met my husband. Deciding to stay here with him rather than go on the mission field included many tears! But I agree, it’s a matter of redirecting the same focus and ministry to a different area.

And thank you for shining light on the fact that God calls us to minister WHERE WE ARE and with what we have to offer.

He used to call me to go, and when circumstances changed so that I could no longer go, He called me to open my door and say “Come in” and minister in my home.

It’s a holy calling, wherever He has us.
