In two weeks from tomorrow I will be getting on a plane to go back to China. It was also one year ago tomorrow that I left China, being over a year since I was there...the longest I've been away from China since I first went in June 2002 to travel. The other longest time I've been away from China was 2007-2008, where I was in Scotland the first time and away from China for 10 1/2 months. It will be good to get back to China and become refamiliar with the way of life there which I do love for some odd reason. I am actively looking for work in Shanghai, so if anyone has any tips, please let me know.

Today also marks the 13th anniversary of when I first became a dedicated Christian, remember the day on Dec 13, 1998 very fondly when I realized there was more to this life than just our small little lives, but seeing our existance from a huge perspective with love being at the center of it. I pray this Christmas we can all see that meaning even more, and rejoice in God's love for us.
