I have a lack of faith and it prevents God from doing great through me.
Sh. Cook Folkhard

Perhaps, I should have started from some kind of a cliché while answering on the question why my life needs this project, but not this time, I chose another strategy To be honest I'm sick of the fact that we don't want to be sincere (not only) with ourselves. That is why while reading this essay you will find out much personal: starting from feelings and emotions and eventually about the evidences of God's great love towards (as you have already guessed :) ) me. Well it' s time to start.

As I remember one of the essay requirements is to mention not less than 7 reasons, that is why I'll do it in order, rather weird order?!!!

The seventh reason why I want to participate in the project is because I want to use 100% the gifts given by God, yes given by God. After all he made me so wonderfully, gave me so much, He said about me, that I was very good, (Genesis 1:31) and I want to do everything I can or can't for Him! I am ready to serve during that time by my talent; I am ready to use any opportunity! I am grateful to God for such a chance.

The sixth reason is that I want to use time given by God wisely, because life is too short (even when I'm saying this I don t completely understand what it means as I'm young ) to waste time or to think that time will be wasted. Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (Ps. 90:12) during the preparation to the camp this phrase will be heard in my prayers over and over again.

My fifth reason seems to be important (basically the same as six others) and it is to serve people. How? I am not sure yet, what God will choose for me, maybe it will 1 second when I ll smile to somebody and he or she will feel better, maybe it will 2-3 hours conversation that will change one s viewpoints as it once happened to me. I want to serve the same way as that person did for me last year.

The fourth reason is that I want to change again!!! I want to change inside of me, spiritually. For sure taking part in the projects of mission changes, I am not saying this because that what my neighbour thinks, I felt it when I participated in MI6. It is an unforgettable feeling, when you understand that God is working within you and you feel that His loving and caring hand is changing your views on life and eternity I would like to feel it again!

The third reason is that I want to rely on God in my life more. And this project is the practical application of the theory about trusting God. Last year when I was raising money for the project, I became aware that God can act, if we learn to really trust Him, not on our words but in real life. While God is still teaching this, I am not going to miss it!!!

The second reason (closer and closer to the most interesting one) you won t believe, but I want to be used, it may sound rude still it is a real bliss to be a tool in God s hands!!! Someone who has experienced that will understand I want to serve the Lord. You think it sounds like cliché, don t you? Hm, maybe it does, for Christ s follower it s an absolutely natural desire, desire that comes from heart.

The first reason (at last) I would like you to pay your attention to the beginning of my essay, i.e. to epigraph. Have you read it? You see that words can be interpreted differently, but they are special for me - let's not hurry, thought by thought! In my life I want to see something great, something that only God can do, but here we have one bug, I have a lack of faith and you know what? I want my faith to be bigger and stronger, so that God could do great in my life! Mission Impossible 7 is a wonderful opportunity to test my faith and to multiply it!!!

At the end I'll say that this project will change many hearts, and I hope mine as well.
