fully grown man!
one those days where mundane things of doing the banking, finishing the bulletin, fixing up the flowers makes me reflect on whether i'm doing the right thing for my life.. God sends snippets of joy into my day to remind.. its "full" all good .. i don't have to second guess my career decisions- at the most I can change where i do it but I have the world at my disposal. I can go into the slums of India and make children laugh to forget about hunger.. I can into the highest peaks of Ulaanbaatar to teach them to brush their teeth the right way.. I have seen all these things and i still can do it again.
The young people that i spent the night with are fully grown..offering us adults advice on doing business, telling me how to "date", they are impatient to get out into the big world that will make or break them. We all must have confidence that God has them in his big big hands and will mend their broken hearts when it has been broken. They have to go the bitterness to enjoy the sweetness.. its such a chinese concept- bitter amongst a bit of sweet. And I am so thankful that I was part of this journey in the lives of these young men and women.
