Stacey's mission blog

A good friend of mine and a fellow redhead, CQU lifelong student, and Student Lifer is off to Japan for the third time for a mission trip. She's been with Operation Mobilisation (OM), Student Life (SL), and now she is going back with School of Youth Ministries in English (SYME). Sometimes it seems to me that she is a bit static. She's always there, quite dependable, can get almost anything organised and done in no time at all. But I've never seen her get really excited about stuff to do with Jesus or her faith. Yet she continues to be faithfully active in Christian uni and young adult groups, serving in her church, and she keeps on going on missions overseas!

So I've had to wonder about some other friends of mine who are always going on about how awesome Jesus is and what a difference He makes in their life. You hear all about it, but you never see them actually being faithful in things that matter. They are like great big noisy horns that everyone looks at and goes either WOW! or OW!

Now I'm not knocking excitement and being keyed up for Jesus...that's great! But it's not essential, and sometimes the quiet worker can have far more impact than the popular trumpet.

I think the key is to find your God-given role, and then DO IT! Do the very best you can for Jesus where you are, while you are.

Lord help me walk my talk :)
