Goodbye China - For Now


The Beijing National Airport is about the cleanest airport I have ever seen. People with brooms and towels are standing around looking for something to sweep up or wipe down. And this was the old wing. I can only imagine how the newer wing looks. We could only see the lights from the airplane window as we taxied to take off on our 11 1/2 hour flight to Seattle.


Thanks to the International Date Line, we arrived in Seattle on Saturday several hours before we left Beijing (Groundhog Day!).


The children at PHF captured my heart but there was much more going on than that. I don't think I'll ever be the same again. I'll spend the next few weeks pondering my future and its connection to China. Whatever my destiny or whatever future He has planned for me, I don't want to miss it just to pursue my own comfort or pleasure.


So long, for now.
