New Year's eve here in Hualien county was very quier. While most of the team was in Hong Kong to renew their visas, Christina and I stayed home and had a big meal of popcorn. We worked on a puzzle that our team had started on Christmas day, and had wanted to have finished before New Year's day. Some of families represented here in Hualien have a tradition of working on a puzzle over the Christmas holiday. The team decided that it was a good tradition to continue on, so we did! Now our coffee table is beautifully decorated with a Thomas Kincade puzzle for all to enjoy.
God also has a tradition of putting puzzles together. The puzzles are our lives; the pieces are the circumstances that He places us in; and He has the box top. It is all divinely ordained to fit together so that when the puzzle is finished, the person of Christ is clearly visible to all. It is up to us to trust Him as He directs our steps in every decision that we make whether large or small. "Trust in Him with all thine heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy paths." ~ Prov. 3:5-6 As those of us here in Taiwan make many decisions, may we follow the Lord's leading!
Til next time!
