ChildLikFaith had the write idea...
My mission field doesn't exist just within the realm of social interactions that occur on a day-to-day basis; our mission field is that arena or possible networks that allow us to connect with others even when we are by ourselves.
Technology is often praised for its superhuman capabilities and yet simultaneously put down for its inabilities to go beyond its man-made instructions, resulting in disappointment and rejection by some who basically desire what it wasn't created to do- to think on its own... be human. In thinking about technology, I realize 1) it was created by man, then 2) man was created by God, so 3) God apparently gave man the ability to create technology. NOTE: God did not make a mistake or error in making man, and yes, He gave man the wisdom to create technology; however, considering all things in this imperfect world, only HE is absolutely perfect and omniscient. Hence, the failures of technology most definitely correlate with the failures of man. Just a thought...
Thinking...
So, despite the online porn clips, the quick dating schemes, pedafils, credit card hustlers, and more (oh yes... definitely more; we're still on earth), I've come to the conclusion that this here- this blog... internet... computer- is just another creation with the ability to glorify my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hence the title of this blog spot, "Mission Field."
Am I here to condemn you? Ha! Let me get through my mess; however, conviction may occur.
Do you have to agree with me? Test every spirit by THE Spirit. I John 4:1
Am I seeking to bring others to Christ? The door's open.
If you study the life of Christ, whether saved or unsaved, you'll notice the dimensions of His mission field- it was limitless. Wherever He walked, whatever resources were available to Him, wherever He was positioned... THAT became His mission field. So instead of checking my Facebook or reviewing music on MySpace, I'm going to challenge myself to actually BEING Christ-like (not just flagrantly saying it) by focusing on ministering on the Mission Field, as His Spirit leads me to.
How am I going to do this? Who knows... from Bible Study to Spoken Word. As Jesus' life revealed, the dimensions and resources of the mission field are absolutely limitless... check the Word for proof.

Hey Esther, This so crazy. I started a blog yesterday, for what reason I don't know, kinda just to put some of my thoughts somewhere. Well anyways, I am working on my relationship with God and for some reason I went your profile on Facebook and saw that you had a blogspot...I felt compelled to read it and I just want to say that it has touch me spirtually. Since I've moved back home I am still looking for a church that will help me grow in the Lord. Well no success yet but I have been finding other inspirational motivation and I would just like to say that I really think that you can achieve your mission with this page. It felt good to read your blog and it gave me lift. Good luck and continue to do God's work!
