Yes, this year is almost over. Yes, I need to finish strong. / 07.21.08, 02:49 PM
As is my wont, I will give you the break down of just how much time I have left here. There are eight “normal” Mission Year days left (not including today). There is one Sabbath, four work days (with one evening shift), one neighborhood outreach day, and two church sessions remaining. But, if you just wait for the time left to expire, you waste the last few days in apathy and boredom. Jesus still wants to work here, and he has 10 1/2 months of stuff to build on. Now is not the time to mail it in and give up. There is work to be done (literally, at Breakthrough), relationships to be enjoyed, intentionally community to work through AND enjoy, church to engage, and so on. God is looking for some faithfulness right now. I’m going to give it to Him.

You have no idea how much I needed this. I’m doing Mission Year this year (WOO HOO!) and I just gave notice to my job, but now I have a bit of the “senioritis”… the apathy and boredom you spoke of. God still expects me to do this work for Him and I owe it to Him to do the best I can possibly do right up to the end. Thanks for this.
