Hello all!
I have made some pretty darn good memories these past couple weeks.
Highlights include buying a lopsided Christmas tree from the thrift store, cuddling with puppies, attending sweet Jaydens baptism, making (and tasting) fudge, bearing testimony of Jesus Christ to a woman who feels lost, handing out free hot chocolate to tell people about light the world, being bitten by a baby devil dog and serving as many people as I can! I'm so grateful to be a missionary!
This week I was pondering what it means to give as He gave and serve as He served. I found an example in the bible about Christ healing a woman with an issue of blood. In this story, found in Luke 8:41-48, Christ is asked to come heal a girl who is dying. He is heading there to perform this miracle and is surrounded by a crowd. As he walks through the crowd, a woman touches the hem of his clothes and Christ feels power go out of Him. He asks who touched Him. The woman tells Him that she touched Him because she has been sick for 12 years with a disease. She has spent all her money on doctors and is left on the streets. Christ then takes the time to comfort her and tell her that it is by faith that she has been made whole. This beautiful story teaches about faith and healing, but it also teaches us about service. Christ was already on his way to go heal someone who was close to death! Talk about important. But even though He was busy and on His way to do this very important miracle, He stopped to take the time with this woman and serve her. I love this because it meant the world to her! We are never too busy to serve. If anyone was busy and had important things to do, Christ did. But He always took the time to serve. Give as He gave by taking a minute or two out of your busy schedule to serve someone this week! Who knows, you just may light their world.
"To the world you may just be one person, but to one person you may mean the world!"
Sincerely,
Sister Bush
Ps! I'm being transferred to Sidney Nebraska! I will miss Casper Wyoming and sister Van Camp dearly, but I know that Sidney is where the Lord wants me to serve right now (:
