  Guangzhou_Trip_March_08_052.jpgSometimes I forget that this is my Father’s world!  I so long to see change happen in the eyes of what at times can seem hopeless. In the place I live in change is slow, and mostly agonizing waiting change that requires patience, persistence, and endurance.  I’ve realized that some of my restlessness comes from the American definition of success, that big and fast growth means success. I think often G.’s way is very opposite.  It is always difficult to come to terms with the fact that I think I’m better than people around me.  That my nationality and way of doing things is somehow superior…that I would rather help in the way I think is best than learn how things work here and serve this nation.  I’m so grateful that the B. is universal and applies to everyone, every tribe, tongue, and nation.  So while my heart aces for the things that G. deeply cares about that are so wrong around me, I must remember that G. deeply loves these people, and He will direct my steps in every situation, in every conversation, and decision.  I pr. He will teach me how to learn how to love deeply instead of wanting to feel gratified by the things I think are so important to accomplish.  Thank you for your indescribable gift Father…Fill me with it! “And such were some of you.  But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the LRD  JC and by the Sprt of our G.”  (I Corinthians 6:11)
