So, I kind of have a huge problem with short term mission trips. After the few that I have been on, I just feel like there are really grave problems surrrounding them which I may or may not write about later.
But right now I feel such a desire to go somewhere. If in heaven there are going to be people of every tribe, tongue and language, do we not need to be advancing the kindgdom of God in every nation now? As a desendent of Abraham, of Israel, should I be sent away?
Or do I live my life here and now investing my love and care into the people that surround me as I live through each day?
I feel like the Christian concept of "missions" is really strange, and I just don't know exactly how I feel about it right now.

I don't tell the people that I love how much I love them often enough.
