A little back story first, I am dealing with fibromyalgia as well as an assortment of autoimmune disorders which have sapped me, mind, body, and at times soul. When I feel good, I feel great and do what I can in the short period of time that I have til the pain overtakes me again. This has kept me from even thinking of going on any mission trips. My memory is not so good, so I can't go out and preach the word by being a teacher, or a leader of any type (this also falls under the aspect of most of my life is spent in pain and a good portion in bed at any given time). Essentially I have become someone you can't count on to be there when needed. As awful as that sounds.
However as I sat listening to my pastor Saturday night, the sermon was about how we can serve the Lord through different ways. He just wants us to spread His amazing word so that more people can follow those of us who have found Him. That's when it came to me, I have the way to reach the world at my fingertips. Pastor Daniel said the most amazing thing and funny, but it really struck me. He said "You don't see U'hauls following hearsts, you see people following hearsts." You can't take anything with you to heaven other than the people that you help God to reach.
SO I am reaching out to the world. Not for myself, but it's all for Him, His glory and His love.
Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
