 You could be right! I have retreated into myself because I am: scared, disappointed, discouraged, and stuck. I am staying inside my protective shell until I regain my fight.

Reminds me of that song from 20 (?) or so years ago...

Re: The REASON I want to be a missionary...
This is just my opinion, but I would say that anyone called to be a missionary would have to be a person who was driven by a burden for the lost. Rhoni, I don't see an overwhelming burden for the lost reflected in your postings. You list your reasons for wanting to do this and then emphasize that you're bored. Being bored and sick of life in the USA is not a reason to become a missionary. If you are bored, find an extra part time job or something. Leave the missionary work to those who are called to do it.

Re: The REASON I want to be a missionary...
How about finding fulfillment in God by being a servant?
Ever try serving soup in a soup kitchen? or being a mentor like the Big Brother/Sister program?

Rico,
I have been posting for 5+ years and if you don't see my passion for the lost and hurting then you are not reading my posts.
My frustration has been not finding my niche within the Apsotolic ranks I fellowship in because so many are afraid of counseling and the legal issues that accompany it.
I have been in ministry most of my life and being a missionary just one part I haven't participated in...most others I have covered.
You need to be careful in your assumptions about a person.
Blessings, Rhoni
