Why I chose the life I’m living?
---By me.
I just read a very distasteful article about the lifestyle I choose to live. Not only did this person totally dis every aspect of the life I love but he made it his business to speak for me with words and that were neither true, nor the way I thought. So I have decided to answer this “wonderful” article with one of my own I hope you don’t mind. Okay so this life isn’t for every body and yes there are flaws in this life style just like in every single life style out there. Whether you’re a bum and professional athlete a rock start or just an average Joe bloe who just manages to scrape out a living for himself you will face problems and difficulties. That’s part of life that’s part of the cruelty of this world, and that’s part of the learning process of this package deal of life. So don’t point the finger at my way of doing things because there’s four more pointing back at your way. Now is missionary life a hard deal? I’ll be the first to answer with a definite yes. Is it and easy hunky dory road to follow? I will be the one to answer with a whole hearted no. but I will not say it is not a thrilling and exciting life. How many people do you know who are not missionaries that have been to over four continents and have been to countless countries all in the span of fifteen years? How many people do you know that can speak at least three languages? I can guarantee you not very many. I choose this life because i love change, I love to have variety. Sure living in a house with twenty three people is not always easy but it sure is fun to meet new people. Discover people who are not your family. To meet the challenge of getting along with several different personalities. To learn to face each new challenge with a different approach tailor made for each person. I choose this life because I love waking up in morning and knowing that this day will hold brand new challenges, experiences, and happenings. I love waking up and knowing that each day something new is going to happen that will not be the same. Granted just like everyone else there re things that happen just the same things I have to do that I will have to do each and every day. But still the thrill of knowing that today is a brand new day keeps me on an up beat tune. Why do I choose the life I have? Because I love it.
