why?

why study greek? why read commentaries of the old testament? why learn how to interpret scripture? why stress, over money and school and a job? why spend most of my time lonely, and feeling like i just can't quite connect with most people here?

it's hard, but this is my inspiration. ministry. being able to serve among the tall buildings and skyscrapers and poverty and busy-ness and train stations...being able to love, and encourage, and see people grow...

so i'm going to wait, and to work, and to know that there is a purpose for all things. and to be thankful that ministry is the passion of my heart, and that this is somehow preparing me for that passion...
