For those friends who were looking for us as what we are up to, sorry to say that for the last few months we really had no time for the blogs and things like that. Life seems to have its own seasons in which you have time for everything and then suddenly you freeze in the business of this world. Once this business gets on the way, even the mind does not have words to put forth.
Yesterday my wife reached Nepal and today she is ministering in the church. Me and Martin, two men without a woman in the house seem to have a lot of time but only to make the house dirty. Whatever we cook, tastes terrible and I could not sleep the whole night...got up in the morning to find my head splitting with aches. I never knew that I was this much dependent on my wife...can't imagine life without her.
It will be another few weeks until she comes back and wonder how we are going to manage...in two days we have already started the signs of panic in the kitchen. But the good thing is that Martin has begun to take things seriously, he makes his own bed, even made breakfast for me. Poor fellow, he can't sleep late in the morning because he has taken up the responsibility of looking after two dogs and two cats along with one hamster for his teachers who are on a long summer vacation. Every day twice he has to take the dogs for walk out in the woods and then change the litter for the cats and feed them. Sometimes I too accompany him to see those animals and how sad to see that even the animals feel lonely and depressed...unless Martin stays there, one of the dogs won't eat...when I see these pets, I am upset with their owners...why did they buy in the first place if they can't be with them always? Poor animals really feel abandoned...wish they knew that their owners will surely return. So, if the animals have the right to feel lonely, I think I have more to do so...only thing is that I know my wife will come in a few weeks, but wonder if these animals are so sure. They may have waited a few days thinking the master is returning, but now it is already two weeks and they have kind of given up hope and are just happy to see at least Martin coming to see them twice a day.
This feeling tells me that life is all about relationships and even God is a Trinity, indicating that he is also a relational God. The very reason he chose a human heart to reside also tells us how much God values our relationship with him. My body is the temple of God where he dwells by his Holy Spirit...it is God's temple and I must treat it well and take care of it, keep it clean so that God can make me his dwelling place, so that I can feel his presence in my lowly body.
Ok, with his I hope to be posting few things daily in here and let the friends know that I am here and doing well even though am missing my wife. Tomorrow is Sunday and I must be ready for the service but since tonight Korea is playing, I might stay up late once again.
A friend of mine left this car with me; an old DAEWOO but after repairing twice, its now running well...hope it does for a while. We always wanted to visit surrounding areas of Daejeon and hopefully with this car, we can do that as a family...but the mileage is terrible!
