I wouldn’t trade it.

This might look like a slow, dreamy morning at a café. And honestly, the waterfall view doesn’t hurt.

But zoom in on that laptop and you’ll see the real story: an inbox full of reports, prayer requests, questions, and people who need a reply.

Missionary life is rarely 9 to 5. It’s more like 24/7. Not because anyone is making me work around the clock, but because when you carry a mission this close to your heart, there’s no such thing as clocking out.

It comes with me to the dinner table. It wakes me up with a burden to pray. It shows up in a text late at night and in a smile on a Sunday morning.

And I wouldn’t trade it. This is the life God called me to, and I’m so grateful for every one of you who makes it possible through your prayers and support. You’re part of every “office hour,” wherever that office happens to be.
