She grew up in a remote corner of the Navajo Reservation where they spoke little or no English. Like so many Native American kids of her generation, she was taken from her home and made to go to a boarding school far away. The bad news: they forced her to learn English and forbade her to speak her own language. The good news: a dream was born while she was there. First, she was required to attend a church, where thankfully, she gave her heart to Jesus. Secondly, she read "Dick and Jane" books, and those books showed her a bigger world where, as she tells it, there were bathrooms indoors and lives where people did something other than take care of sheep. And she decided to go for it. She graduated from high school, then college; she's taught school for many years and, as a single mom, raised two strong children who really love the Lord; one of whom serves at our Headquarters as a gifted young Native leader.

I'm Ron Hutchcraft. Somewhere along the way, this great lady realized, "I'm made for more." So are you. In fact, God may be making you restless for the "more" you were created for, to move you out of your safe but unsatisfying comfort zone into something bigger He has for you. Even after amazing years of serving Christ, Paul said, "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14 ). You're made for more! Don't settle for less.
