Patience and humility

If you know me at all, you know I am true (person of faith) at heart. My whole life seems to be centered around that fact. Coming to China challenged me. How was I going to be silent about the one thing that mattered the most to me? The truth is, it's much easier than I thought. I just have to silently let the HS work. There is such a power in that that I will never have on my own. I have gotten the chance to know two assistant teachers, Yang and Laura, fairly well. Time and time again they will exclaim at me, "You are so nice!" It takes everything in me not to stop and exclaim back, it's not me! It's . . .   But I can't, not yet. I cannot use my own words, the HS has to do that for me. A gentle whisper is much better than my loud exclamation anyway. I have truly been humbled on this trip. What I have found is that my excitement about my faith pales in comparison to His compassion for this world. - Shawna Miller
