150 words.

This is the 150 words I sent to church on 'how God impacted me through this trip to China'. Just wanting to keep myself updated with my reflections on this trip and see how my thoughts progress over time and also let you guys see, if you're interested. (btw it's secretly 162 words or something XD)

When I say ‘I miss China,” it is the two week environment of exploration and serving and the mission team and fellowship that I miss. However, when I was actually in China, it was you, SVPG, that I missed! So much of what I saw and learned, I kept wishing you were there to see and learn with me. But you know what? Here, in Vancouver, instead of two weeks, we get a whole month, even a year, to learn together. If you feel ready to go on a missions trip, please teach us upon return. If you don’t feel ready, please realize that this home is our mission field. I now have a renewed urgency for our growth as a group. Change is a result of steady progression. Let’s keep encouraging each other and learning together (HEBREWS 10:24-25) so that when we’re called, we’re mentally, emotionally, and spiritually ready to just be our uniquely created selves, and go to serve others.

HEBREWS 10:24-25
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another-- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Good night!
