It's always better when we're together...

I'm sitting in my living room in the great state of West Virginia at the moment feeling much like I did six months ago when I left for China the first time. In case you didn't hear, I was blessed to come home during the Chinese New Year break and surprise my family. My brother-in-law and I devised a scheme, complete with secret agent names, which blew the socks off of my family members. He told my sister he had to pick up an international student from the airport for his job as an admissions counselor at Concord University. She bought it completely and rode along with him to the airport. As she held a sign with the supposed Chinese girl's name on it, I peeped around the corner and ran to her. After she recovered, my brother-in-law and I divulged the plot. From there we called my parents. They were equally excited. It was a good day to say the least.

The past two weeks have been good as well. I was fortunate enough to see some friends I haven't seen since last May as well as make a few new friends. I'm sorry I didn't get to see everyone, but July will be that much sweeter.

I came home to surprise my family, but I also came home to figure out where the L0rd would have me next year. I'm afraid I'm leaving even more unsure of His plan though. At the same time, I'm leaving with much more excitement of the things to come these last six months of the year. He's opened my eyes to new opportunities and changed my attitude as a whole. I'm going back fighting. I can't wait to see what He's going to do before July.

Stayed tuned...we serve a big G-d who is going to do mighty things....please join me in pr-ying.
