Summer 2009

I haven't blogged in awhile - but with good reason. This summer was packed with 3 moves, a job change, time with family, and a month in China. It is impossible to put into a tiny blog how much God taught me in China, so I will talk just a little bit:) I am sure you will understand that I cannot put all that I wish to due to sensitivity issues so just ask me if you want to know specifics. We had the amazing opportunity to teach university students for 4 weeks. Although we were their teachers, we were also their peers. Having that dual role allowed us to communicate in and out of the classroom using various mediums;) Sammi and Helen were both students that I was able to build a strong relationship with and share some of my beliefs. In a very real way we were able to see what Paul meant in 1 Cor. 3 when he said, "I planted, Apollos watered, but GOD gave the increase." We are simply instruments fulfilling one part of God's plan. The thought is both humbling and encouraging.

I miss China and I think about it everyday. If God allows the opportunity to go back, I'm there.
