A Letter from God

Recently there has been much chat about what people want to do for their futures and what there calling is. It seems that many of the people that I am around say "I have no idea what I want to do" or "I am not sure that I am being called to that anymore" So then my thoughts start to wonder and I ask

I am really called to be a missionary?
Does God really want me to go?

I was telling God that I do not want to doubt Him or his calling in my life.  I ask him to help me to continue to remember my reasons. Today he more then amazingly answered my prayer.

Back in the summer of grade 12 so summer 2010 I went to Poland for two weeks to work at an English Camp that my Church does every two years. While we were there we wrote letters to ourselves, telling us of things that we were supposed to remember and things to encourage us with. This is what my letter said;

Erika,
Talking to everyone here and simply being here has brought me back to the moment in grade 3 when you ask you parents how to spell missionary. You see you had to make a presentation about what you wanted to be and you said missionary. You are now here in Poland and soon going for a year that is focused on missions. This is God calling you back. So ask yourself when you receive this letter what is God calling you to do. Have you been praying about it? Where is he calling you?

Today I got that letter. Today I reminded of my reasons.
