I remember as a child my mother fed me these medicine pills that looked like dinosaurs. At first glance this gave the tablet the appearance of some sort of sweet which made me volunteer to eat it, but then the bitter betrayal came when I realized this was some sort of vitamin C junk with the taste of ear wax. I feel in a big way a global year is the same. God comes with the proposal of let's travel the world, make best friends, and win people for the kingdom. With big excitement you say yes but climbing out of the first plane the ear wax taste begins. God reveals your low amount of faith, high amount of selfishness, and inability to endure the slightest suffering. Like the pill it's all good for your system, it just makes your face twitch a bit while chewing. I guess I'm saying I'm grateful for being tricked into both instances.
