After that whole rant, I realized that my "mission" boils down to following the example of two role models ... if I can emulate these two guys in whatever capacity the Lord uses me (missions, church planting, family, flipping burgers, etc.), then I'll be golden! I want to live out my faith with a heart that is part John-the-Baptist ("Clear the road! Jesus is a'comin'!") and part Barnabas (the encourager).
I want to be bold in my faith (though humble) and responsive to the Spirit (in obedience) and encourage others (in love) through the prompting and power of God.
*The title of this blog is "Sister Caribarnabaptist" which I'd like to explain (for when I forget why I named it that), is just melding three names together. Carissa (Cari) Barnabas (barna) John the Baptist (baptist). ME!!! (wanna-be-me!!!) :) I could probably come up with a better melded name.... but not now- no time! I'm procrastinating and have much work to do....I need to get back to it.... but THANK YOU LORD for the opportunity to serve you, even when I'm so unworthy, You are so close and love me tenderly and with the untainted love of a perfect Father! Amen.
