My Answer to that question is both simple and complex and quite frankly unsatisfying for most. The answer to : because it is my calling, my vocation. It has been my well meaning mother who has asked me this question most often. But I cannot give her a beautiful, well scripted answer because there is not one. It is just plain and simple, God has called me away from my comfort zone, away from my family, away from my friends to a place where the one I need to lean on is God. My belief is that God has called me because there are things that he wants to teach me and people he wants me to touch that would not have otherwise been touched had he not called me.
The last few months I have been pondering why I was given the chance to be raised in America, with a loving family, given a good education and a long list of blessings? My answer I believe has given these things, given wisdom, given education and access to resources so that I could in turn give back. I believe the measure of my life will be how well I used the gifts God has given me to help others, how much I have loved others. My gifts are not my own, but they are just that, gifts, they were given to me to use either for myself, or for Him. At the end of time, when I stand before him I want to hear the words "Well done, good and faithful servant". Don't confuse the free gift of salvation with using your gifts for Him. How I choose to live my life and give my life will be the measure of my character. So for today I will seek to find ways to be a good and faithful servant.
Lord show me what that means! Love your daughter -Kelly ps. Thanks for all the blessings!
