To be or not to be…. A brief blurg

To be or not to be….

Is that really the question? How many times do we start our day thinking should I be mean, or nice today? Should I be productive or destructive today? Do I want to be a loving person today, or maybe just be hateful? Do people ask themselves these kind of questions? I don’t. I don’t even wake up thinking should I be a mom today, Or not? Should I be a wife today, or a single mother? Maybe I should just abandon being a mommy today and go for single with no procreated responsibilities.

This isn’t usually what people think of when they ponder Shakespeare’s famous soliloquy – Hamlet’s monologue. They know it is about life, and contemplating living or dying. But what is life when there is nothing worth dying for?

To be or not to be isn’t connected to the breath in our lungs and blood in our veins, it’s about knowing our destiny as sons and daughters of the creator of the universe. Do you know that Papa God loves you and wants you to live with an eternal perspective?  It’s about living our everyday lives as mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers with our eternal reality. It is about the question of knowing our deepest needs are met in Christ Jesus. As we love Jesus, he leads us through life’s greatest questions, and everyday decisions.  

Why write about my International Family? Because my life’s goal is to love Jesus, myself and others, Being a missionary is one part of that goal – applying the rich experiences of our family life extends from any work or ministry goal, to my most intimate time with Jesus Christ. Family is worth living or dying for.    

There may have been days when I looked to heaven and asked, “Seriously, to be or not to be a Missionary?”

The answer was usually a question: Would you die for your husband? Your sons? Your Mozambican children? Will you live to love them? Will you live for me?  

my answer:
Missionary Momma that's a Mia
