The move to China will stretch us. That is normal...new place, new people, new living quarters, new job, new language, new food, etc...
But also professionally it will stretch us. I am taking on a different class of student. But also different subject areas. I will teach 6th grade band, 7,8 band, HS band, music theory, and now MS orchestra. I don't know anything about how to teach orchestra. But over the summer I will learn and when fall comes I will do my best. Only 2 months and 4 days until we move. As it gets closer my emotions start playing with me. Nervous, excited, anxious, calm...I guess the weirdest thing is the peace I feel about it all. I'm certain that that doesn't have anything to do with me. There is a chance that I may get involved with the underground church in China. I have the contacts. That scares me. So be careful what you pray for, you may get it. 3 years ago I grew tired of the stagnancy of my faith and of the church of America and its people. I prayed for something on the edge, for God to use my talents in a way that would put me out there and test me. Zoinks! Looks like that may happen. So be purposeful in prayer and know that there is a power out there that just might answer you.
