Christmas Time In The City
Chronicles from Asia: How I Stopped Hating People
As time continues to pass since I moved away from America, the shiny new feeling of being a “global worker” wears off more and more. I do still remember all those nights when I would lie prostrate on the floor, weeping and begging God to send me to the nations. I was dramatic. I was […]
549 Days Ago, I Got On a Plane
I officially relocated from the US to Asia 18 months ago, which feels crazy to think about. Struck with zeal, curiosity, and wonder while traveling here for the first time, I thought ahead to the future and pondered deeply on this exact day. “I wonder how my life will be in a year and a […]
