Just something concerning the last assumption. People assume that you are just plain lazy if you dont work. I’m not a missionary yet, but I have the calling and right now I’m going through what I call “personal training” concerning faith and trusting in God. And because I’m unemployed (and God has already answered me, telling me that I work for him and therefore not unemployed) people dont believe that I really want to work to make money, buy clothes, sneakers, car, eat out more, etc. I know that prayer is what makes your skin criticism-proof, but it still affects you because its not strangers that say these things, but rather friends, relatives and your family in christ. I, however, justify it by reminding myself that they lack not only faith to at least believe my words, but are not willing to let go of their own subjective way of living and have an “open mind,” a term which I really dislike to use but it’s sometimes necessary for certain individuals. It’s not easy but not impossible, and I know that what I’m going through is minute compared to your experience. Great Post! Looking forward to more of your Missionary experience.

@Stacy: Thank you for your prayers. Since I’ve written this, the relationship has deteriorated further.

Thanks for posting this. Especially #2. It helps to know that I am not the only one. I know how you feel. I’ll definitely keep the situation with your parents in my prayers. God bless
