There is a song : THIS IS WHAT LOVE DOES....BY LIENKA. Amazing song. But this blog is about something else...this is what China does... People are always searching for something... They build high towers to the clouds... They worship foreign gods in temples, some are mere idols shaped by human hands.... In the streets are hotels, restaurants, markets, and bike shops. And in the still late night, the hungry beggar creeps forward from the shadows...emerging half way into the light. Then he eats his daily meal, the wrotten fruit, waste which was "prepared" for him just an hour before... There is a huge need. Everywhere. Only God can fill it! Not me. Not my team. Not the whole group. ONLY GOD!!! ONLY IN GOD WE TRUST. So we pray. We walk in love. Just where we are. Are you doing it where you are? Just LOVE? We share our love where we go with the people. r The mighty river flows in its banks. The boundries set from the beginning by God. The hills look down at us from above a cloud of mist and a small layer of snow. And I know : Nothing can seperate me from His love....even if I miss home so bad. Even if I get so mad at the people for hooting me awake at midnight...but then having the choice of either blerssing or cursing them.... Why do I do this? Why this "gap-year" ? I am learning daily who God is. I see the need for workers, and I intend to do my share. Just where I am now. Where God wants me. Then I also pray for fellow workers to come and join the work... One thing, one last thing. ..Only GOD SAVES....CAN SAVE....AND WILL SAVE! I want to be apart of this! This is a journey! This is an invite. Join Gods journey...right there where He wants you...where evr it may be....Join His plan and path for your life! Ask Him for direction, and then TRUST Him and very important....DO IT!!! Faith.... So, China changessomething...how? It is hard to describe...to give it shape. Everywhere people are walking aound, shouting, spitting, blowing billowing horns. China changes you.... People with small white caps watch you closely through thick dark-rimmed classes. Everyone runs to you. Something inside wants to shout....JESUS SVES!!!!, but they dont understand a word your saying.... China can change you...but God is the one busy changing me! I am very excited and at the same time in awe of the One who gave it all... My heart is fixed on HIM. and Him alone....no matter what the world troughs at me....at us...
