Advance: Why should I risk anything that is mine? If only the Lord would
bless me then I would go and do something like Nepal.

Are you here of your own strength and will or did someone sacrifice
something to reach you for the Kingdom of God?

Why me Lord? I seem to have more bills and struggles to live than almost
anyone I know. You decided twenty years ago to let our daughter Laura be a
special needs child. I remember us saying I wish she could stay a sweet baby
forever, but surely you did not answer that prayer. For twenty years now she
has not spoken a word, she has never walked or eaten a bite without help.
She is a healthy lady now and hardly ever is sick. Every day of her life we
feed and change her clothes, and move her from place to place at 90 pounds.
This is the will of God for our lives and we gladly except that and love
Laura with all our hearts. As she turns 20 in a month from now we will
celebrate the blessing she has brought into our lives, as we silently ask
the questions, "Lord who will do this in 10 years when we are not strong
enough to do it anymore". You see I don't understand the reason why you
picked some to sacrifice so much while others prosper with so little effort.
Why would you call someone with my skills and lives disadvantages to be a
missionary to Nepal? Each year you bless and send us for close to a month to
work in a place that no other American Christians goes. Did you just call us
the Nepal Travel Team or are there hundreds more that just say no. Each year
that I go I lose a month's income from my second job that most of my friends
do not have to do. I leave my wife behind to suffer and worry about my
safety and how she will make it without steady income for her and Laura.

You see I have all the same question that everyone else has yet I know of
only a few people that pay the price that we do to work for God and try to
be what God has ask us to do. And just in case you think I am complaining
don't. I have questions just like the rest of you that know deep in your
soul that you should sacrifice more for Nepal through going and giving.
However, the difference is I cannot stop until God screams stop. I will
know the joy that I have given the best I can even if it means leaving this
life with nothing to show for it but a big smile on the face of God. I don't
know how many souls of Nepal will spend eternity in Hell or Heaven, but God
being our help the balance will be shifted toward Heaven this year again
because we ADVANCED until the Lord screams stop. If you know you could go or give so much more yet you question if you
should. I want to hear the answer that you receive after praying. Surely if
God wants to use and is willing to use me he has something for you to do in
Nepal.
