Upon Leaving Home.


I left a quiet harbor
in favor of another, I know not where.
But first, there are seas to cross
And storms to brave.
How could I prefer the foreign deeps
to the encircling arms of my bay?
Because some things
Can only be learned at sea.
Yes, my craft is watertight,
I can navigate the unknown,
And Lo, the winds that fill my sails
Blow from home.
-STEFFANIE RUSSEL

This quote refers to missionary work. Some may not want to go because they are going into the unknown. But isn't that the best place to learn?
