I had made the comment a few days ago that the last 6 months of our lives has been like missionary boot camp.... "Despair. Anxiety. Stress. Uncertainty. Confusion. Feeling...Lost. Waiting. Searching."
As I have thought on that throughout today....it is so complex to try and explain.
We have experienced a time of such uncertainty. Of such lostness. Of such fear. Of not knowing how we were going to pay the rent... Of not knowing "where" we were going... Of literally "feeling" the darkness trying to strangle us...
Yet - in comparison to what so many other people are facing....it seems shallow to even compare our experience as a "boot camp" of sorts. We are not starving. We do not have parasites. We are not being tortured. We are not turned out on the street.
I have been reading, "The Heavenly Man" by Chinese Christian Brother Yun. I have not paid the price that these people have. A very challenging read..
