After leaving home for 7 years, now I have been back for couple years.  And these last couple years are quite a journey indeed.  Tough is the right word to describe the challenge I face and the character I become.  Life has become financially challenging, emotionally demanding, and physically exhausting.  When God gave the revelation, and my pastor confirmed through his preaching some years back that only the Call will be able to sustain me, I knew that it would be tough. But I didn’t know that would be this tough.  No kidding!

But I can’t complain.  The toughness is very rewarding.  Through tears I sow, I have reaped boundless joy.  Every time God touches a life through mine, no word could describe how sweet it is.  At least, I know for sure I am here for a purpose.  I will not change this life with anything else.  This is mine given by God for His glory.  And this very life I have given it up for sacrifice. No complaint!

I haven’t reached the comfort zone yet.  But, I have seen the finish line.  He is there waiting with the trophy.  And the beauty of all of this is that He was there in my past, and in fact he is with me in every battle as well.  He is all over me.  This is all His.  And this strengthens my faith, hope, and love toward Him.  The struggle is the way to the beauty; the beautiful future He already has prepared for me.  No doubt!

Life continues.  Through times I watch God’s hand is restoring lives, reviving a community, and building an army.  An army aimed to turn this nation upside down.  It’s a vision not just a dream.  Vision becomes a mission.  Mission becomes a task.  Task is a work to do.  When I am in struggle, about to complain, and doubt is hovering, the work has called me to wake up.  Yes! I have the “unfinished business” to complete.  Complete the task, and finish the race. No comment! (yhs)
