Here’s some transparency:
- I do like walking through garbage dumps in Cambodia to find helpless babies, but I don’t like figuring out stuff about makeup (mascara, blush, etc)
- I do like studying biblical Greek and Hebrew but I don’t like office administrative work
- I do like dreaming about helping babies in Somalia and the DRC with Saving Moses, but I don’t like the stupid hoops we have to jump through to get visas to help these babies
- I do like giving the babies of prostitues a safe, clean and loving place to sleep (nightcare) while their moms work but I don’t like getting criticized for empowering prostitution
If you’re like me, our lives are mixed up with lots of things we enjoy and lots of things, not so much. I find that if I embrace the things I don’t like as much (makeup, administrative work, visa applications, criticism), I will often get to see and experience things about God that I never knew. Don’t miss the chance to know God better by rejecting things that might be inconvenient or uncomfortable 🙂
