Father Abraham Had Many Sons

The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.

"I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you."

I am so blessed to serve in Hong Kong, and I thank God for being part of his great nation. Three weeks in, I am finding joy in my work and the small things that impact others. I had no idea how just a smile could change a whole situation and lend confidence to those who are shy. My favorite part of this trip so far has been building relationships with the community; I really love my teammates and students who have allowed me to be myself with them and have taken the time to get to know me. I am so amazed to see the Lord work through me and break me out of my mold to follow his plans. Though I often am frustrated that Hong Kong organization and planning almost always falls through, it is nice to know that I am not in control.
