Leaving on my first missions trip this week, I thought this was very appropriate to share with you. Remember, you aren't the message; you're just the messenger! It doesn't matter if you're imperfect: take a look at that list above. God can use you just the way you are!

Oh so true, I am going on my first missions trip next week, (The 11th), I sure as heck don't feel like I am of much worth to God in the broad scope of eternity. It really helps to look to the bible, where you see again, and again, God using the most unlikely people for great things. :)
Thanks Seth.
