  • What sacrifices are you anxious about?

    Can you relate to the story of Emily and Stephen Foreman? What stands out to you from their testimony?

    Finally, considering the content of this topic, ask yourself: “What sacrifices am I most nervous about?” By contrast, also ask yourself, “What are you most looking forward to about entering another culture?”

    Emily and Stephens obedience was amazing and encouraging and her willingness to continue to lean into God is inspiring.

    I am most nervous about sacrificing just the normal systems of life that I am used to, but more because my new way of living will be questioned by others more often. I’m nervous to not feel at home. The quote at the beginning of this module that says we don’t literally die but we go through many mini deaths of how we are used to living life really hit home for me. I’ve already begun grieving certain systems of living that I’m used to that will be changing. Funny enough, creating a life and routine there is what I’m most excited for! I’m excited to frequent local cafes and markets and to start making friends.
