"Motherhood as a Mission Field"

A friend posted a link to this blog today, and it really spoke to me. I wanted to keep it accessible to me for re-reading. And maybe it will speak to anyone else who happens to read my blog.

For the Good of Those Who Love Him

I am so thankful for the many ways God blesses me. I feel like I say this a lot, but it's true, and I'm just going to keep on! As I have mentioned before, our family of four will be moving to Tokyo, Japan by the end of this summer. (As of today, we are expecting to go over in August. This is subject to change at all times. Thus, the constant state of prayer and readiness.) :-)

Well, God has his hand in all that goes on, and I am loving how obviously He is showing it to me. There are two families also going over there on the same project that I am excited about getting to know. I have never met these two families, but thanks to Facebook, I am getting acquainted with the ladies. Ironically, one of the families is who we bought this house from. It's all crazy, I know.

What I am most excited about is that these families both love the Lord and serve Him and worship Him! God knows that we will all need each other, or at least I will need them! One of these ladies messaged the other two of us yesterday asking if we liked Beth Moore and would be interested in doing her Bible study on James once we were all there and settled. Ummm...that would be awesome!!! So, that is something else I can look forward to.

I am so thankful for these things and the way God is using this whole experience of moving to another country to teach me so much about Him. Just since we decided we were going on this huge adventure, before we even leave, I feel like I have grown so much spiritually. I am amazed daily at what God is doing in my heart and my life through all of this, and so grateful for the way He is "working all things together for our good."
