So Chinese New Year is coming up...I wish that we could go to Taiwan and visit with our friends who will be doing some major celebrating very soon! I miss Asia more than should be expected...I haven't been there since 2006. However, it made a lasting impact on my heart. Oh, how I love Asia. Oh, how I wish we could go there very soon. Jesus loves Asia, too, amongst other places. :)
But He gives each ones certain burdens, and I know that this is one I shall carry upon my heart forever. May God return my body to Asia one day...who knows when that will be....but I can trust in the Lord that He has a great purpose for my life here. I know that He will lead my heart and change my heart, just as He always does.
As I told my husband, I know that I could be content anywhere where I can make a difference. I know that can be here in WA. So if the Lord wills it, I will go. If He wills it, I will stay. It's as simple as that.
But that doesn't stop me from remembering Chinese New Year....
LOVE.
An unconventional truth

I am a mother.
This truth is starting to penetrate a culture-imposed shame:* The defining
moment and culmination of womanhood is in bearing children. ...

I love your heart for Asia. I was in Peru in 2007 and it is in my heart. :)
I know....you leave portions of yourself behind when there is a connection like that...
