He leaves for China at 6am tomorrow morning and he will be there for 2 months.
China is a spiritually hostile environment where many Christians are persecuted for their faith. Pray that he grows and that God rocks his world during his time away, even though it may be difficult for him to read his Bible, hear sermons, or speak about spiritual things to anyone at all.
Please pray for our relationship as well because there will be a 13ish hour time difference for the next 2 months. I need to learn to be more patient when we communicate and need to find a way to be encouraging to him on a spiritual level now that spiritual conversations may be monitored and restricted by the Chinese government. I know that God is watching over us both, but I am still struggling with anxiety, and I know loneliness is going to be a big issue too. I'm trying not to be a big baby about it, but we just talked on the phone for the last time before he goes (neither of us know when we can talk next), and I cried when we hung up. I need some serious peace, friends.
Please pray for us.
Thanks.
That's rough Betsy.:( I'm praying for you both. Try to stay positive and think about what a great reunion you'll have in a few months!
ReplyDeleteAww, stay strong girl! You both can grow so much closer to God and each other through this. My prayers are with you.
