Home Sweet Home

A couple of weeks ago I posted a blog about Boston. I think I mentioned that I...at that moment...was not feeling very excited about moving to Boston. :) Well today I feel a lot better. Why? I had to refocus and change my perspective. As I thought about the task before me and all of the things that I do not know about planting a church...I became very discouraged. But as I started remembering the promises of God as well as the fact that He knows me...things in my mind started changing. I have to look at moving to Boston not as a "mission trip"or just another chapter in my life. If I go with that mentality, then I will not really consider Boston my home. But if I embrace that I am moving to Boston...it will be my home...I will have a job with friends and a community...then I will share my life in such a natural way. I will not look at people as just a person that I could lead to Christ and then move on to the next person. But as I live and coexist with them, I will develop a love for them and as that happens I will desire that they know Jesus as their Savior. That is something the Lord has been teaching me since I have been at BBW. I love my co-workers. Some of them are as lost as can be...but they have invited me into their lives and I have been able to share the Truth with them. We share meals together, we encourage each other, we laugh together ( they think that I am extremely extroverted...bless) and I have been able to be there when some of them have cried. They ask me questions about my relationship with Jesus. I love it. I pray for them more than they know. So as I continue to prepare for Boston...I will think about the people that I will see on a daily basis, the community where I will hopefully live...and I think...ok, this will be my home. And that is ok. Actually...today it is a little more than ok. ( I am listening to the Cosby Show and Cliff just told Claire that it is a priviledge for him to wake up next to her every morning....I think I can call it a day after that. :) I am moving to Boston. Wow.
