Clarity

Saturday morning
I woke up this morning and the first thing on my mind was Abraham and Isaac. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac. God had made many promises to Abraham that were to be fulfilled through this son Isaac, yet God was then asking him to kill his son. I can imagine the confusion Abraham felt ask God seemingly wasn't making sense! However, Abraham stepped out in faith in spite of the confusion and heartache and got right down to the moment where his promised son was tied down on the altar and the killing knife was in the air. At that moment God stepped in and told him to stop. The point was to bring him to a crisis of faith and to trust in the wisdom of God above what seemed to make sense.
Maybe I'm making assumptions, but I'm wondering if our situation with the hagwon is similar. Perhaps God was asking us to step out in faith and say 'yes' with the intention of simply bringing a crisis of faith. This week we have had to trust and seek God in ways that have been extremely difficult, but maybe that was the whole point.
I shared with Blake and he said that the same word had been given to him! Craziness!
Sooo...I think we're coming home to Canada!

Sunday morning
We're on our way to one of the last meetings with our church and we have mixed emotions. This church has been such a blessing and we are so sad to say goodbye.
