My friend Linda grew up planning to become a medical missionary. She loves the Lord and wanted to serve Him as a doctor by taking the gospel to sick people in parts of the world where medical care is hard to find. But God had other plans. Linda has indeed become a medical missionary, but not the way she expected.
At age 14, Linda developed a chronic health problem that required her to be hospitalized for major surgery several times a year. She survived bacterial meningitis that left her in a coma for 2 weeks and blind for 6 months. She once celebrated two birthdays in a row in the hospitalwithout going home in between. She has had several experiences when she was not expected to live. But yet Linda is the most vibrant, grateful, and cheerful person you will ever meet. She once told me that her mission field, as she hoped and planned, is the hospital. But instead of serving God as a doctor, she serves Him as a patient. No matter how sick she is, the light of the Lord radiates from her.
Linda exemplifies the teaching of the apostle Peter. Despite her trials, she rejoices, and the genuineness of her faith brings praise, honor, and glory to Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:6-7).
Read: 1 Peter 1:1-9

Your dream is to life a live a life that leaves a mark.
You’d like to have a mission or journey to complete, even if it takes years.
You want your life to be meaningful, and having a final goal brings you meaning.
You’d like to accomplish something big, if only to inspire others to believe it can be done.”
I’ll drink to that!
You Crave an Exhilarating Life |
![]() There's so much to do in the world, and it's important that you accomplish something great. You desire success, but not necessarily material success. Success could be helping others find the right path. More than anything else, you want to reach your goals... no matter how high they may be. |
Your dream is to live a live you cherish. You don't want to waste time on things that don't matter. Doing what you love with the people you love is the most important thing to you.
You want your life to be about rest, relaxation, and recreation. You want to slow down and appreciate what you have. You believe that wisdom comes to those who don't rush through life. And you'd like to gain more wisdom over the years.
With the guy I love ....
