I've just signed a contract to work for a school in Yantai, a coastal city in the Shandong Provence of China. I'll be there for one year. But everyone that goes to Yantai says that their 6 month visit turned into 2-3 years because it's such a great place. So hopefully my year may turn into something more...
God put this together so well, I can't believe it. Last semester China just wouldn't leave me alone. I hated it at first. I wanted to stay in Japan and do the whole missionary thing out here. But China weighed on my heart more than anything.
Finally I broke down (I'll leave the details of that for my auto-biography ^_^) and God gave me three specific verses proving to me that China is the place. After I quit fighting it I just fell in love with China. Now when people ask me about it I say I love China like I have already been there. But that's how I feel. It's not a love from me. I don't want people calling me a missionary though, that's a loaded word. I'm just going to be a Christian in China.
I could write pages on how much everything has been put together by God, but I'll just leave it at that.
Here's to China!
