Turkey, it was good to see you again.
Going to spend Christmas here in Vienna with some BC people.
Because of TOM, Susie is napping. I am in the ho(s)tel lobby using the free wifi.
It is drizzling outside.
Being back in Turkey felt really nice. Kebab, durums, chai tea, merhaba, tamam, olives cucumbers and tomatoes.
Lots of travelling left. I am grateful, very much so, but many times I wonder…why me? Is this okay? I wonder…
It was beautiful.
Going up North to see the Northern lights (hopefully).
Done with my semester here in Sweden, for the most part.
Let the travelling commence—-
너 가는 길이 너무 지치고 힘들 때
말을 해줘 숨기지마 넌 혼자가 아니야
우리도 언젠가 흰수염고래처럼 헤엄쳐
두려움 없이 이 넓은 세상 살아 갈 수 있길
그런 사람이길
더 상처 받지마 이젠 울지마 웃어봐
to anguish - to bear God’s heart, passion, and burden within our lives
#why was i put on this earth #what is the meaning of life hedwig #you’re an owl #you’d know
#who made the universe hedwig #what exactly is a hufflepuff anyway hedwig #tell me hedwig #talk to me

Just another day here in Sweden, but Happy Thanksgiving for all us Americans.
Even though I am not home for some good Thanksgiving dinner, I am thanks-giving.
Too many things to be thankful for.
Every day should be Thanksgiving minus the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, candied yams, etc. etc. etc.
Someone once said the healthiest human emotion is gratitude.
Cheers to a healthy attitude of gratitude today.
I find it interesting that one of the most common questions asked today among Christians is “What is God’s will for my life?” Many Christians have almost assumed the attitude that they would obey God if he would just show them what he wanted them to do.
In the middle of a Christian culture asking, “How do I find God’s will for my life?” I bring good news. His will is not lost. With 1.4 million Bedouins in Algeria who have never heard the gospel, it makes little sense for us to sit over here asking, “What do you want me to do, God?” The answer is clear. The will of God is for you and me to give our lives urgently and recklessly to making the gospel and glory of God known among all peoples, particularly those who have never heard of Jesus.
The question, therefore, is not “Can we find God’s will?” The question is “Will we obey God’s will?”
Will we refuse to sit back and wait for some tingly feeling to go down our spines before we rise up and do what we have already been commanded to do?
Will we risk everything – our comfort, our possessions, our safety, our security, our very lives – to make the gospel known among unreached peoples?
Such rising up and such risk taking are the unavoidable, urgent results of a life that is radically abandoned to Jesus.
Copenhagen, Denmark.
Hot pot for Chee Lam’s birthday.
GOOD.
