Sleepless...

About 44 1/2 hours to go before my airplane takes off to Taiwan, I am suddenly sleepless. Kind of saddened and kind of excited. What is the purpose of this trip to Taiwan? I sometimes wonder... I remember that good things comes to those who wait. Isaiah 40 says that those who wait in the Lord will soar on winds with wings like eagles. God said that He's gonna make everything beautiful in His time. I guess I'm just faced with the unknown and it's making me nervous and even scared. Like it said in "Wild at Heart:" I don't know if I have what it takes.... but God's heart and faithfulness is to show that I can have what it takes... just as long as I stay in him.

John 15:5-8
5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

Thanks for all your prayers, my friends, my mentor, my brothers, my sisters, my beloved. I asked that our God will cause us to remain in Him no matter where we are and what we do. Our distance is only as far as our prayers.

Thanks to Stacy for putting this memorable dinner together. Thanks, Andy, for being such a supportive friend and brother. And thank you, Lynn, for being my aid and constantly reminding me of the things that I've forgotten. Thank you, people of the Daniel cell group... you've prayed for me month after month for God to change my heart... encouraged me when I serve God with songs... and provide for my spiritual covering in my times of weakness. Let's all get to 2007 expecting nothing short of miracles! I look forward to be built up with all of you.

Now...

I need to get some sleep.
