Today as I woke everyone up, scrabbled for breakfast, got my oldest off to school, and returned to dress the two younger children for library story time my heart was shall we say, frustrated. This morning my husband left to serve at the Arab International Festival and while I love being mom to the three most awesome children ever I am so sad that I am unable to go and serve with him. I have long had a heart for the nations, a love for travel, and a desire to share my faith but since I've had children I often feel like a huge part of my life has been put on hold. I know what you are thinking..."you should be sharing where you are" or "share with your children." Ya! I already do these things and yet my heart still yearns for more.
So, I've been thinking about this all day. I guess I cant change my circumstances. I'll continue my commitment to missions right now through prayer. I'll be excited for what God is doing even though He is doing it without me. I'll instill a love for the nations in my children and hopefully one day when they are missionaries to an unreached people group they will allow old mom to tag along on a God sized adventure!
