My first post

These last few weeks have been quite a whirl wind. There have been times of being very overwhelmed. There have been times of pure and utter excitement about what is to come in the next few weeks. Attempting to put into words what i have been doing here at FPO is kind of like trying to describe the color red to a blind man. I have learned so much about what it truly means to be a "sent out" one of God. Not that i have some special calling placed on my life. I am simply living in obedience. Just as God told Abraham to go and he went. I have heard God tell me to go, and so I am going. I have met some pretty amazing people while I have been here. When I first got here I expected to be surrounded by other Journeyman just like me. That is not exactly what happened. There are only seven of us and the rest of the group is made up of couples, some with children, some without, some who are pregnant, some my parents age with college kids, and some that are more grandparent age. It is truly a melting pot of people from every way of life. Which is highly encouraging, it shows that God calls normal people, people who had real life jobs outside of the church. There are times that I look around and wonder why I ever thought that missionaries had to look a certain way, or act a certain way.
