Doing hard things for God
By Jennifer McClure | April 21, 2008
Last week my husband hit the quarter of a century mark. Though I still have a few more months before bidding farewell to my early 20s, all this talk of being half way to 50 has inspired some reflection on my youth.
It’s humorous to me when I hear myself coming to realizations that are almost verbatim to what a youth pastor or leader had told me when in youth group. One such realization was that as a student you have easy access to one of the greatest mission fields. That thought held true for college, but now married and in a Christian work environment, the opportunities to share God’s love through relationships with those who do not know Him are not as abundant as they once were.
So for those Christians reading this who are in a season where those opportunities to be a testimony of God’s love and saving grace are in abundance, be thankful and prepared to share because you never know when your scenery will change. And for me and others in similar situations, it’s all about being intentional in witnessing and dependent on prayer.

thru the internet, older people like me who beyond our church life are’nt too “out there” continually have doors opened for us to share the gospel. There’s an abundant harvest there waiting for someone to share the “good news” with them!
