Rest...
I'm so very thankful for this time of rest for this month. Starting off this month, I've been reading Psalm 23 (ironic how Mark pointed this passage out to me whilst in Chicago) and meditating on green pastures and quiet waters... sounds beautiful and nice doesn't it?! Right now, however, is the busiest time in the Serve Asia Department what with all the short-termers going out this year... please keep Mel and Will in your prayers! Though it hasn't been too productive, thus far, I have been able to do a lot more in preparing for NE China. Went to the doctors and got my regular check-up (I may have inactive TB... which is not nice... not nice at all), visa applications, flights, etc. Went to the OMF picnic on June 7th and had the usual "farewell" and all that... cutting of the cake and prayers. Future is still uncertain, but I guess that's the fun of it all...
I realized that I really need this time to rest and restoration of my soul (psalm 23 again!). Difficult to go on to the "next thing" when you feel tired/weary and burdened. I'm so thankful to have this time... really and truly =D
If I wasn't a believer, I don't know how I would cope with all the uncertainty! In relationships, work, church, missions and life in general... He is in control. Nice to be reminded that we are at His mercy and though it's easy to feel overly confident or overly defeated... He rebukes, forgives, restores and uses us. I'm so very flawed and weak... I fall time and time again (why?!!!!)... and though I have "hidden your word in my heart"... why is it that I fall into sin? I guess being aware of Sin and sins and the knowledge of this very fact is from His grace as well? ECK...
