On my road to Palau...

I'm scared... there's no doubt about that... But then again, this is no small task... I'm leaving everything behind, and basically starting fresh half across the globe... But you know what? God has lead me this far and He will continue to lead...

What I find amazing is how there are people... people in our own religion, who believe that leaving for a year to do mission work is... gasp... a WASTE OF TIME!!!! Even my non SDA friends seem to be excited about it, but so far I've come across 2 people who have asked me why I'm willing to "waste" all that time while there are things to do here...
  • First, there's the shocked friend... "So you are wasting a whole school year?". Well, all I have to say to him is "I'm NOT wasting a year, a year as a SM is going to teach me some lessons I will NEVER learn in a classroom!"... AND some schools put mission work on high regard

  • And then ofcourse is the "concerned" parent (NOT mine of course).... "My daughter wants to go too... but I tell her that no one is going to want to hire her after she comes back because she wasted a whole year after school, she will have no experience whatsoever!!! And what about those loans?!?!?!?!?!?!? You need to start paying for them right away you know?"... to him all I have to say is that I have awesome parents and an awesome God who provided for me during college and that even though there were things I had to sacrifice (like not having a car), I was able to graduate from Southern loan free!!! I owe $0, and Southern actually mailed us a check with money we had paid extra, so THERE!!!!! And what makes him think that after serving God for a full year that He is going to leave me half way? NO WAY!!! He WILL find me a job, better yet, he will find me a job and a boss who will appreciate the fact that I DID leave for a year to do mission work!

You know... Going as a SM was not a decision made over night... It took a lot of years and a lot of prayers to get there... And I believe God is leading me every step of the way... Seek first the kingdom of God and everything else will fall into place right? Didn't He also promise that He would never leave us nor forsake us?

I agree compleately with what you said. In the case of one of my friends who worked at a hospital she ended up getting WAY more experience than having worked as a nurse in an ER would get. SHe was super marketable when she got back. I also think for us we are just on an extended internship.
I think God will bring us back home and provide the means to pay loans, He after all is the one who called us to go!
