me?! a what?!

family picture taken new year's eve 2005
i attended my former church in the province at my father's behest because the pastor was going to pray for our family. if you knew my father, you'd know that i couldn't possibly turn down that request. so there i was, that sunday morning, attending that church with my whole family. when it was prayer time, a woman prayed for each of us sisters. and did you know what she said to me? "my child, you have a special calling. you are called to be a missionary."

i was dumbfounded. call it delusion, but i have always known i was destined for something great. but a missionary?! i have lectured a few times in a missions class (being a graduate of that same course), and missions is close to my heart, but i thought i was more of a mobilizer/trainer -- than an actual "goer". oh well, we'll see...
