I think many of us know the story of, "The Boy who cried Wolf". It's the story of a shepherd boy and a village. When the shepherd boy cried wolf the village would come and protect the shepherd and his sheep from the wolf, but the shepherd started calling, "Wolf! Wolf!" when there was no wolf as a prank. Finally a wolf did come and the shepherd boy shouted for help but the people from the village didn't come because they thought it was like all the other times, a prank.I feel like I've been "crying wolf" lately about when I'm going to leave for the mission field. First, I have been saying that I was going to be leaving for the nations from mid-February to beginning of March but that isn't happening. Then I thought there was a possibility for me to leave with a group that is touring around the US which would have left Tuesday but that fell through as well. In all of this I know I made sure that whoever I shared my plans with that I also let them know that there was a chance that I would not be able to go. Even so, I do feel a sense of responsibility of being misleading. My intentions are not to do so but it is hard to share my plans when they are very, very flexible. Flexible to the point where they might be postponed for a while or indefinitely.
As of now, what I do know is that I'm going to visit the Fire and Fragrance school in Harrisburg, PA on Feb. 15-16. I am planning on going to California at the end of March to meet with a friend of mine. He'll be at a conference in LA and then we will be going to the UK for the month of April. First there's a Torah conference in London, and then continuing down through Scotland and Wales and building relationship with Korean Pastors in Diaspora.
Please keep me in your prayers for this journey.
