Why Am I In the Dominican Republic Anyway?

// July 28th, 2009 // Barahona

I could give you lots of reasons why I am here: convincing reasons, logical reasons, altruistic reasons, selfish reasons. I could give you reasons of all types. But something I heard in the interviews with the I Love Baseball players is the reality of the situation. I’m here because it is lo que Dios mando. I’m here because I was called. I’m here because I was sent. I don’t know why. All those other reasons are just rationalizations of the fact that I’m actually here, for your benefit or my own. They are attempts to make rational something that doesn’t have to be. I’m certainly not here because of any master plan of mine. Maybe one day it will be clear why I’m here. Maybe I’ll be able to look back and say this is why He sent me to Barahona. Maybe not. The opportunity for me to be obedient is reason enough but I’ll keep my eyes open for opportunities and pray that He makes clear His purpose for me here and that he gives me the strength to fulfill it.
