We Got It

Just an update on some of our worries. We got all the visas Leanne needs for our trip. I have been doing very well (A+) in my course assignments. Tickets are almost all booked. I had a great time teaching last week. God is good. See the smiles.

Worry

I never like to worry. I am, however, very good at it. These last few weeks have been a time of incredible stress. I have worried about my next course. I have worried about airplane tickets. Ihave worried about money to pay for the airplane tickets. I have worried we are not going to spend enough time with everyone. I have worried about our church. I have worried about leading worship. I have worried about my job. I have worried about my sister. I have worried about my father. I have worried about my repuatation. I have worried about my nephew.
Even now I worry. I don't how to stop doing it. I try to say "God is in control" and yet I worry. I try to lay it at His feet and yet I worry. I worry about what God thinks about my worrying. The things I want to do, I don't do and the things I know I shouldn't do, these I do. Free me Lord Free me.
I think this picture is adorable. It takes some of my worry away.

Chinese New Year

We are in the middle of our Chinese New Year Holiday here. That means a week without work for me. This is a time alot like Christmas in Manitoba. Families get together and hang out. We went to Leanne's Mom's place on Monday. Usually this means sitting around watching TV and doing nothing. This time Leanne and I borrowed a scooter from Mom and rode around for awhile. It was fun although her scooter has no muscle. We spent the whole day there and had a good day. Yesterday we went to see The lion the witch and the wardrobe. I cried when Aslan was killed. The blood sacrifice. It reminds me of Chinese new year here. Most families will put red banners with "lucky" words on them over their door and on the sides of the door. It always reminds me of the story of Exodus. The red banners are meant to scare away the monster called "Nian" or year in english. If you don't do this the monster will eat you. It is just custom now but it reminds me of the blood the Israelites put over their doors at the Exodus. It also reminds me that the people here are living in a past of fear that the past will catch them and get them. Praise the Lord that He has saved us from this fear and the need of a blood sacrifice. He has set us Traitors free by His Blood Sacrifice.
