I heard it a lot growing up and i hear it even more at a Christian college. When it gets thrown my way i automatically tense up and end up blurting out something like "social work, because it's like tangible counseling."
Im not even sure about what that is, really.
I guess some people have a big, beautiful "mission", like adopted kids or Africa.
I do not, at least not yet.
Like i said, it is kind of unnerving when i don't have an answer to that question. I mean, am i really a loving Christian? Don't all good Christians have a perfectly clear vision of their future "ministry"?
Im learning that while i do not have a war to fight. No specific cause to advocate. I can fight and love in the small things.
The small actions. The small thoughts and prayers. The small words. The small, quick smiles.
That is something i can do.
I actually love doing it. I love to create small love for people in notes, coffee dates, gifts, cookies.
Maybe God put a "small" love in me.
Living and loving in the small things has made living a loving and lot less stressful.
