Dominicana

This is the last entry in my journal from the Dominican Republic mission trip back in June of 2015.

Well it is done, but far from over. Dominicana is for real. I made some good friends: Brandon, Matt, Pete, Laura, Rachael, Drew, Jonathan, Pastor Julio, Melvin, and Victor. I got to know better many of my teammates, but most of all, I was drawn closer to my God. He put a call on my heart. I have known for quite a while that I am meant to help others and then "BAM", there it is, I am a missionary!

Dominicana
That is what I am calling it
The people, the culture
Their scars and their needs

But why should I care?

Well, God loves them
Unconditionally and unfailingly
And He commands me to do the same

I have never been so far away from home
Yet the feeling of home remains
As I am so close to my loving Father
His providence is evident

So, when I see the people here
I am looking through His eyes
It is the only way to love
