Even On Mountaintops

It's the Chinese New Year! (Horses FTW.)

Today, I can't help but reminisce all about my time in China.  Last summer, for one month, I lived in Hangzhou, China. Not only did I get to study traditional Chinese medicine, but I also got to witness the hand of God thousands of miles across the world. I may have failed miserably at poking myself with acupuncture needles, and should have learned the language before I arrived, and felt very very lost for the first week I was there, but God soon opened my eyes, and my heart.

I was transported to a magical place

where the 21st century meets a thousand-year-old history

down winding roads
and placid waters.

This was my temporary home in a foreign land,

a land filled with food
and more food.

I met many people on the bus

in herbal clinics
and even on mountaintops.
But most of all, I was thankful for encountering our global Father

at church

in the work place
in this beautiful country
and in the smiles of newfound friends.
(KTV-ing it up)














Where do you encounter our global Father?
