this week i got to have a mini-sleepover with my two favorite girls dasia (left) and samia (right) (with, of course, their mom, finky finkstra (center) - one of my college BFFs). aren’t they all pretty???? the remigailo’s are in town for a wedding, but came a night early to see moi! which meant that i got to sit by dasia at dinner (and carry her home!), hold samia until she started crying, play preschool itouch games, and inventory all of the “fun stuff” (which included a large pack of orange tic tacs. dasia got two, i only got one) in her new purple and pink butterfly princess backpack. it’s crazy how much i absolutely love my all of my BFFs kids. ugh! hugs! kisses! snuggles!
finky and her family are missionaries in africa. they are hard core and crazy cool. i remember sitting on the dorm room floor in olson hall, talking to finks about cute boys, weekend plans, when EXACTLY we were to make our apperance at the DC and how she wanted to grow up and be a missionary. last night i sat across the table from her and her perfect-for-her husband, damon, talking about cute boys, weekend plans, and about how i am so.so jealous of their distinct and clear calling to be missionaries overseas. oh, just to have their confidence! they KNOW without a DOUBT that they are doing what God wants them to do.
(sometimes i think it would be “easier” (in so many ways) if God wanted the same thing from me. a hut in ethopia).
and i’ll tell you this much. i consider myself a sort of a missionary-in-training. currently my mission field is nyc. theirs is freaking AFRICA. whatever. anyway, we all love Jesus. but they LOVE Jesus. in ONE night they shared Christ to more people than I have in, um, the 6 years i’ve lived here. sad, huh? and it wasn’t the creepy, evangelical hard sell either. they just were nice and friendly to everyone. since people generally aren’t that nice and friendly in nyc, at least to perfect strangers, these hardened new yorkers always assumed (in this case, correctly) that they were from out-of-town. “where you are you from?” damon, “oh, we actually live in africa”. skeptical new yorker, “oh, really? you’re a long way from home. what do you do there?” damon, “yeah. ha, ha. we work for an NGO …” the conversation continues, amicably, culminating in damon fearlessly handing them a small tract with information about their organization. in my horror, and surprise, it’s always accepted with interest and respect. wha?????? i was seriously put to shame.
i need to stop seeing nyc as my playgroud and start seeing it as my missionfield. lesson learned, and this time finks didn’t even have to give me “the LOOK”. xxoo!
