It is currently 1:30 in the morning, and I cannot sleep. I just woke up suddenly, thinking I was in Tijuana. I had to turn on the lamp to verify where I was. I have received so many questions from many readers in the form of messenger (17 to be exact), and I am bringing the top questions and answers into the blog forum without identifying the names of the askers. It's easier to answer these questions in this format so that I'm not answering multiple questions multiple times. To those of you who asked these questions, I've already messaged you, asking you to read my blog for the answers you seek. Thanks for understanding.
Q: You just came back from a missions trip and you are on fire. Are you making this decision in the heat of the moment?
A: Good question. I think God brings us to different venues to show us what He wants us to do. He brought me to Colina de Luz to break my heart for these kids. By the way, I've been in the heat of the moment since last Summer.
Q: Do you think God is going to bring you to Colina de Luz?
A: You didn't fully read my blog, did you? LOL. There are no guarantees that God will take me there. It may not even be Mexico. It could be China, Africa, or an inner city in the United States. I know that I feel strongly for Colina de Luz, but it doesn't mean that's where I will go. Being a missionary means that you share God's Word wherever you go. I am a missionary right now in Hutchinson, Kansas.
Q: What's your timeline?
A: Did you read the blog? (This is why I'm not naming the askers, LOL) PLEASE HEAR THIS: God's timing is not ours. It may be several years. In the meantime, I have a ministry to my Hutchinson kiddos to love them with the love of The Lord. I'm going to sit tight and keep doing what I'm doing until God gives me His prompting as to what the next step will be. Please don't be making plans to send me away right yet. To be honest, it moves me too fast, and it scares me. Please let God do His work in me. I'll keep you posted as to how God is leading. I know people mean well, and I love you for it, but it's MY calling, give God time to work. Remember, God said "Wait" to me. I need you to do the same where I am concerned.
Q: Are you sure God just didn't give you heightened awareness for missions and that's all?
A: Yes, He did. That's why we go on missions trips. For some, He does more. I say with love: Don't try to analyze what God showed to ME. I know what God said. He showed it to ME.
This has been a quite unorthodox blog post. I couldn't NOT let this go. In the process of writing this and bringing things to the forefront, I now have more peace. There were other questions, but they were asked only once, and I already answered those. Here's the long and short of it: Please give me some time, as this is new to me as well. I'm still trying to sort it all out myself, so I need you to pray about it. PRAY for me. This post has not been meant to be snarky, but to make you understand. Give me time.
I love you all in The Lord. Thanks for your prayers. ***Rob***
