beauty from ashes

We walked around downtown Luoyang tonight. It was cool, felt like we were really in China! The smells, the sights, the people. Can't even begin to count the number of people who tried to talk to me in Chinese! It was almost humorous.

We finished painting the shed today also. Which is cool to be able to leave something behind.

Devotions tonight were heavy. Lots of heart sharing. But it was neat though to see how God has knit all of our hearts together with the same passion and burden to care for orphans.

I don't want to leave this place. I don't want to go back to just existing, to just being okay. God wants so much more for us. He wants to turn our ashes into beauty.

Use me Lord.

  1. Sounds like you are doing well. I didn't know you were building a shed. Take a picture of it. Your trip is going quick. We are praying for you and we miss you. Love, Dad
