Mathew 28:19 "Therefore go and make deciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (NIV)
This is the Great Commission. Many people believe that in order to serve God you have to be doing church work; pastoring or teaching, or serving over seas on foreign soil or something big that makes an impact on the community. They are wrong. EVERYONE IS CALLED TO BE A MISSIONARY; WHETHER YOU'RE A DOCTOR WHO JUST GOT A NOBLE PEACE PRIZE OR A MAMA WHO'S JUST CHANGED HER 1,000TH DIAPER.
Our life is our mission field. We have been commanded by God to go out and tell others about Him. There's nothing special about me; but my God is awesome!!! Barrett loves to tell about how people watch and look at us when we go anywhere as a couple or a family. Some gawk, some laugh, some turn their heads in disgust...We are not the typical family, but we are the family called us to be. I may never go on a mission trip to a 3rd world country. But who knows what Dalton and Bobbye Sue may do one day because Barrett and I followed God and were obedient to Him. He has promised to bless the offspring of the faithful. A trip to the grocery store my not seem like a big deal to most, but as a Christian I hope that when people look at me they can see that Christ gives me strength.
