I've discovered I like British spelling

It's true. I've spelled things the British way for a long time. I used to spell color with a "u," I just spelled yogurt with and "h" the other day, I spelled "cozy" "cosy," and I don't know what else. It just looks right to me. It's really weird.
Anyway I took that dumb test thingy again to try and figure out what I am. Which was kind of stupid. Like I though anyone could actually describe me! So the first time I came up as INFJ, and then I was thinking about it, and thought that really there's not so much "F" in it, because some of the time I base decisions on feelings, but some of the time I don't, so I went back and retook it and took out some of the "F" stuff, and then I came up INTJ like I did way back when, and then I was being indecisive, so I read the profile thingamies for both of them, and (sorry about the run-on sentance, but we all need them once in a while don't you think?) decided that I am officially and INt/fJ. Which is weird because one's a rationalist and one's an Idealist. I think I've become a bit more of a Rationalist over time just be living with mom, because she's definitely a Rationalist, and I kind of have to be to survive, but I think inside I'm more of an Idealist. Maybe. Can I be both?
Anyway, enough of that. ONLY 5 MORE DAYS UNTIL POTC II COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still a little bit excited. My aunt and possibly my cousin are coming over to watch it.
*gets up to get ready for bed and put cats away and try to warm up freezing fingers and toes*
I'm back. The first two were successful, latter not so successful. Maybe this blanket *dons blanket* will help a little. I've been trying to warm up ever since finishing giving Comet a bath for her show on Saturday, which I'm freaking out about, which is kind of weird because I'm normally nervous, but just a bit and not til the day of. Anyway, I attribute it to me being a Senior now, and I'm nervous about them asking me a question I don't know from the new book. Or asking me a question I've forgotten from the old book because I've been studying to much from the new one since I'm a Senior now. Well, I guess all I can do is study. And pray!
There is a point to this post. Em was saying on her list of thankfulnessthings (well actually in the comments) that she was trying to think of a way that we could help people in third world contries. If you guys like this idea, it would be like an answer to prayer for me:
After I got back from my mission trip to India, of course anything about India caught my eye (well it still does but that's beside the point), and one day I saw this stand somewhere for Gospel for Asia. You may or may not have heard of it, but it's this organization that was started by an Indian man named K.P. Yohannan, who has a heart for the people of Asia. God told him to start this organization, and use it to help get American's focus back where it should be: namely, on the Great Commission, and spreading God's Word to every nation.
The basic idea is that most of the contries that have the most need of missionaries are either closed to foreign missionaries, or view Christianity as a Western Religion. They don't trust the Westerners who bring it, and are about as enthusiastic about being converted as we would be to a Hindu monk who tried to convert us. We would automatically view Hinduism as an "Aisan Religion." The truth is, white missionaries introduced Christianity in countries where it had never even been heard of, but now the focus of western missions has changed. I don't want you to get the wrong idea - western missionaries are still vital in many places, but can't try to control places that are closed to them. Also, I don't think that social work is a bad thing, but one of GFA's biggest fears is becoming a social missions organization. Em, you mentioned helping a third world country in some material way. That's not bad at all - they really need it! But I think GFA can offer something even better.
While there's nothing wrong with doing good social work deeds, it is wrong to call it mission work. What most white missionaries are doing nowadays is building hospitals and such things in Christ's name, and not seeing any results in regards to converts and lives given to Christ. What GFA wants to do is get the focus back onto fulfilling the Great Commission, and only that. This is an exerp from a book I just finished by K.P., called Revolution in World Missions:
"Feeding programs can save a man dying from hunger. Medical aid can prolong life and fight disease. Housing projects can make this temporary life more comfortable - but only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can save a soul from a life of sin and an eternity in hell! To look into the sad eyes of a hungry child or see the wasted life of a drug addict is only to see the evidence of Satan's hold on this world. He is the ultimate enemy of mankind, and he will do everything within his considerable power to kill and destroy people. But to try to fight this terrible enemy with physical weapons is like fighting tanks with stones."
Gospel for Asia's solution? Send out the natives! Their entire organization is devoted to training natives to go into unreached parts of their own country and live out the Great Commission. This is the best way to do it economically, native missionaries living on $1080 - $1800 per year, while western missionaries cost up to $100,000! It is good stewardship of God's money to do it this way, and also, native missionaries do not have to overcome cultural obstacles, and are already accepted in their community.
The whole point of a Christian's life is to fulfil the Great Commission. Other than that, why do we live? To die. There is no other reason. So how can we help if it is not the best option to physically go, or if we aren't called to physically be a missionary?
GFA is raising an army of native missionayies all over Asia, but it still costs the $1080 - $1800 a year to support them. GFA is calling on Americans to use our many blessing that God has given us to support the native missionaries in fulfilling God's call to them. People can help support a native missionary for $30 per month, and for almost a year now I've felt led to do this. But as of right now I haven't got a steady income large enough to support one, so I've been waiting to see when I will be able to. I think that this might be the answer. If any of you think that God is laying it on your heart to help support a native missionary, why don't we make it a group thing, and together support one? If even two others besides me were willing, we could do it, and we would all split the cost, from $10 - $6 dollars a month depending on how many people helped.
If you want more information, go to www.gfa.org, or I'd be happy to let you borrow my copy of Revolution in World Missions which really challenged me to re-evaluate how Americans view missions, and how we can change that view and help in a practical, real-life way. They also have a free quarterly magazine, SEND! that you can get for free, with all the news about native missions and missionaries. I can give you more information too, if it's something you're interested in. I highly recommend reading the book if you're at all interested.
This is something that's been on my heart for a while now, and I think this is truly a way that we can help, in a practical way, but one that will make a huge difference. One of my favorite illustrations in the book is this: picture one day standing in Heaven before God's throne, standing next to your native missionary, and thousands of people who are in Heaven today because you supported that missionary.
Native missionaries go through a three-year Bible training school in their own country and learn how to evangelize and be pastors, and often plant 3-5 churches every year! for only a fraction of the elaborate costs we spend on our church buildings, and these churches grow and soon support themselves.
If you're interested and/or want more information, please let me know and we'll get this started!
