Perspective…

A few months ago I wrote about perspective. I’m reminded again today of the same topic. Why you ask? Well, thanks for asking, let me tell you.

(disclaimer- sorry boys for the awkwardness of the topic)

I woke up with my left chest feeling very sore. I thought maybe it is just because I need to feed Cassie, but after feeding her I was still sore. Grabbing my handy ‘What to Expect in the First Year’ book I realized I may just have Mastitis (I won’t give details, if you are really curious look it up). The book makes it sound very scary- if you don’t get it looked after ASAP it could turn ugly and require surgery. I called Amy in Winnipeg and asked her advice, talked to my other friend Amy here and decided I needed to go to the doctor.

 

Possible reaction #1? I am leaving for Malaysia tomorrow! Now I will be in pain flying and feeding. Why did this have to me happen now?

Possible reaction #2? Thankfully this happened this morning and not tomorrow when I woke up to go the airport- what would I have done then? Plus my doctor only takes appointments two days a week and today is one of them. She was able to fit me in 30 minutes after I got there and now I have a perscription that will get rid of it before it becomes a major problem!

 

God is so faithful, I see His care for me in the little details.

 

Speaking of faithfulness, we leave for Malaysia tomorrow morning and we will be there for a week teaching locals how to study the bible through the book of Ephesians. It is an amazing book about our identity in Christ and the unity of believers. We are trusting that God in his faithfulness will use us to impact the lives of these students.

We’ll be back in Taiwan for a day on Friday before heading out to Mongolia for a month so we will update the page again then!
