"What a missionary should look like" as Wendy said, in my case "what a Christian mother should look like" (I'm not sure that I quite fit the picture there....).<br /><br />I did have a giggle at this line in your post though: <br />"I quickly got the impression that all Christian young adults were outgoing, extroverted leaders who thrived on buzz, people, late nights, board games and playing casual soccer. " Such a ring of truth to that one!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213944904796774622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921791.post-38907501753736351452012-12-05T10:30:34.254+08:002012-12-05T10:30:34.254+08:00Amen sister!
I find myself fighting against this ...Amen sister!<br /><br />I find myself fighting against this all the time. Especially "home side" perceptions of what a missionary should be. I was a bit dismayed when I saw our home church's recent weekly notices. They asked people to pray for our family, but focused on evangelism (which is not what we do). All my work got lumped into something like "and pray for Wendy and the boys and all that they do". Very disappointed.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882558757262419263noreply@blogger.com
