The people God puts in our lives

Before I went to Candidacy class in Idaho I had little or no expectations about the people I would meet while at MAF. I gave almost no thought to who these people would be or how they would impact my life. Almost seven weeks later I can honestly say that the people I met, spent time with, and ultimately grew to love have changed me for the better.

The testimonies of the people the Lord has brought to MAF inspires, and transforms lives. I could list individuals from all departments of the home office, to members of my candidacy class who have left foot prints on my heart because of their fierce love of Jesus Christ and the obstacles they have overcome to serve him in every area of their lives. The way these people love is contagious, and I am honored to be loved by them. They will never know the impact they have had on me in this lifetime, but perhaps in the next we will share sweet moments for an eternity.

I am home now and I miss them. I miss their wisdom and insight, but most of all I miss their passion for all things belonging to our Savior. These are people who could have any measure of success in this world, but have chosen to use their skills, intelligence, and compassion to build something that will not turn to vapor. They are building an ETERNAL KINGDOM, and it is AWESOME.
