And He said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
-Mark 16:15
"Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost"
-Matthew 28:19
Lately these verses have been resting in my mind, surfacing in a certain moment, causing me to dwell and pray on them. I would think not many young woman of my age have verses like this these ever ready to spring to the front of their mind. I just today changed the name of my blog, I felt the desire to do so when the desire for my life changed. I know people who are in missionary work, and I know of people in missionary work.
The new title for my blog has meaning, to explain.....for the last three years they where the words dwelling in my heart...Lord, what shalt I do to be saved?
But now, for the last six months they have been a prayer for guidance. After being saved What shalt I do became the prayer of a different kind. God is the creator, and the leader of my path in life. He controls it, he has preordained it. I come to crossroads, I come to bumps and ditches. So my heart ask's, Lord what shalt I do? What is your command?
And now, [it is still that] but it carries even more for me now. I have felt the calling to be a missionary for Christ, a soldier of the cross, to quote one of my favorite hymns. Of course, I know I need help for this, not just heavenly help, but the help of a husband. Having spoken to the wisest woman I know [mom] I got further assurance that if this was what I felt called to do, it was wonderful. But I needed to, of course, wait. It was not wise, [bordering on stupidity], to ever consider going out to be a missionary without a male companion. preferably a husband.
Then I again turn to those words, Lord what shalt I do? and I have found answers for that is some cases.
I can use these years of waiting to study and become more learned in my Bible. Three members of our church are street preachers, when I can drive on my own I can go down with them and listen, I can learn.
These have been my thoughts of late, the things my mind dwells in, the thing my heart prays on.
Lord I ask of thee, What shalt I do?
When that illustrious day shall rise, and all Thy armies shine,
In robes of victory through the skies, the glory shall be Thine.
