Sometimes I put way more pressure on myself than is necessary.
When I became
a "missionary" I had this idea that it was going to be the most difficult thing
I have ever done.
Well, in a way it is. Let me explain, no there is too
much, let me sum up.
We had our first ministry team in this week and the
first day on the reservation we started working on a house for an elderly
couple. Tory drove the truck with the trailer so I went to pick up the three
Apache men who work with us. I picked them up with my Jeep. Their eyes lit up.
Boyo said " let's drive up into the mountains, Tory can handle the building."
Man was I tempted. I said no and we drove to the work site. We spent 3 hours
working with a group from Kansas. Laying out the footings and digging holes for
the piers. Afterwards the group was going to get cleaned up because we were
going to have "Bible Club" that afternoon. The guys said lets take the back
roads to their houses. I said yes. Actually I said YES! Anyway we had a great
time. They took me to where they have "Sunrise" celebrations. They showed me a
lot. Places I would never go by myself. We agreed that we would go up into the
mountains later on. I can't wait.
Well my point about ministry not being
"hard" is that God opened these doors. God made it all happen.
Sometimes I
forget that I'm not here to build houses or make people's lives better. I mean I
try to do those things it's just that I'm here to help them draw closer to God.
I hope this made sense to you. If you have any questions or I confused you,
please tell me so I can clear it up for you.
Better yet, why don't you come
for a visit? We would love to have you!
Robert
