Love

I have a passion for this country. Life here is so intersting. It's not always perfect or fun, but that comes with living in a new place. I do love learning something new everyday, and being challenged with new ideas and thoughts everyday.

I have to live a completely different life here, but I find myself relying more on my True Love in my heart. I rely on that Love more here because it's what I know will carry me through. That Love is what helps me grow everyday as a person. I see things in a completely different light. I am not a citizen of this World and that helps my culture shock a lot.

The Chinese people are amazing. They still believe in true love, Mr. Right, and Marriage for life. I love this about them. Most of their music still revolves around love and friendship. They are kind and caring. They are excited about foreigners and our lives. I just hope that we continue to teach them the good things.

Everyday life has it's moments. I've had a couple myself lately. Those are the moments that I retreat. Those are the days that I like to leave and spend time figuring things out. Yesterday was one of those days. So many emotions and things just came out yesterday. I had to deal with a lot. I turned to my True Love and he provided me comfort. His words were more than enough comfort and then he provided me with arms to hold me. He is truly amazing.

I was reading a letter from Paul. His second one to Corinth... the first part about lines 8-11 described my toils really well. It's amazing the history behind all of this. It's comforting and scary to know that the World has always been this way.
