First, this morning I was able to attend a fellowship and it was cool to meet so many new people from all over the world. But the coolest thing was that one of the songs that was sung, which isn't very popular, what the song I listened to every night before I headed to bed when I was in China last time. Confirmation. I needed that. After waking up from such a long journey, my heart was heavy and I began to doubt if I was really suppose to work in China. Yes, I am.
Second, I came back to my apartment after a very long day of activities and noticed a shiny silver thing laying on my bathroom floor. I had noticed when I arrived the night before, but I thought it was part of the fancy decor, however, when I was walking past it, I noticed that it wasn't part of the decor but rather a coin. There it was, the smallest coin in Chinese money (similar to a penny in those respects but not monetarily) and I just thought, wow, it's like I was given a Chinese penny. I felt so grateful and reminded that I know I am suppose to teach in China and that I shouldn't let my doubts have power over my certainty. Wow.
As one of my african friends would say (he's religious): "Don't doubt God, doubt your doubts"
