fruitful week

In a couple of hours, I begin my 'trip' from Kunming to Hanoi!

It has been a very fruitful week. Finished one language and starting another. Boss came to discuss this year's plan. Should be exciting as we are planning above the line advertising by Mar! Attended first of a series of lectures on Church History! This year should be interesting!

Heard a couple of things which are not nice. The only reaction is 'not sure how they will answer God for their actions'. Saw another set of actions which are not nice either. If we are any less mature, it would have been a stumbling block. Definitely does not leave a good taste in the mouth! If these have had happen in the secular world, I know it would not have been acceptable and know too well, its consequences!

It was the first day of the 12th lunar month two days ago! Had a dream too! Another layer of 'onion skin' has been peeled off; and I am beginning to understand things a bit clearer! Was asked to 'come back'. Glad to say - reaction was an automatic - 'no'. A conscious choice!

Just glad that I have decided to 'wait upon the Lord'. In this case it literally means not being aligned, whilst waiting for the situation to unfold.

Also found out that we have had been pigeon-holed. Though administratively, it is 'less messy', it also reflects our human tendency's need for a comfort zone. We compartmentalise people so we know how to handle them. We have yet to learn the depth of really depending on God, walking in faith and not knowing the future!

Meanwhile, the story would be:- we have to make our own choice and walk our own path and answer for our own actions, one day - before God!
