Bye Bye Michelle & Michaela

Tonight our Rightnow Team celebrated the departure of two of our own - Michelle Fong and Michaela Anderson. We didn't celebrate because we were glad to get rid of them, we celebrated because of where they are going. Michaela takes off on Tuesday to fly to an undisclosed location in the Middle East where she will be working for a missions organization this summer. This is the first step for her to full time missionary work overseas. Michelle heads home to San Fran for a few weeks and then begins her process of moving overseas to work with an un-reached people group in Southeast Asia.

How cool is that? I love what Michaela & Michelle are doing. They are living whole-hearted for Christ. They are an inspiration to me because they are showing the world how much they trust in Jesus. Both girls are in their 20's and are very bright. They could be doing any number of things with their lives and making a nice living doing so. But they are choosing this. I'm sure they have people in their lives that think they are crazy. Maybe they are crazy? Maybe Abraham was crazy? And Joseph, Joshua, Jonathan, Josiah (J theme going strong) - maybe they were crazy too? I don't know, but I do know that they were faithful. And that is worth celebrating!
