Today I left early to go pick up some boxes. When I got home Jessica said that I had missed some drama. She said that Ally started crying at the breakfast table about how much she was going to miss Grammy. Then Parker started crying about leaving his friends. And then Jessica started crying. This is just the beginning of the mourning period. Some missionaries say that it is like mourning the death of a loved one.
So I ask myself is it worth it. But there is no getting away from the answer of yes. What if we each had to choose one of our children that would be doomed to hell? Which one would it be? Of course, it would be impossible to make that choice. Well, that is the choice we make as Americans when we say no to our calling to reach all peoples, nations, tongues and tribes. We are choosing to seal their fate. We choose not to go, so we choose for them not to hear. And if they don't hear, how will they know?

Wow!! These are some powerful words. It definitely makes me think about my life and how the Lord's will must be my priority. In our western culture, and in our western view of Christianity, we seldom count the cost even though that is what Jesus requires. Our lives must be subservient to God's will. Stay strong Pham's...the Lord is going to use you in a mighty way to bring lost souls to Christ...Remember Matthew 10!!!
