i’m leaving for taiwan tomorrow morning for my grandfather’s funeral. mapping out the time points to figure out how i should sleep on the trip to minimize jet lag.. that’s probably not even possible. i’m hoping that i won’t still feel so numb about it once i get there– but i’m also more afraid of completely breaking down. i had both of my maternal grandparents the last time i left taiwan; now i’m coming back to a place that will just seem completely hollow and unfamiliar without them. please pray that my peace and comfort will be found in Christ alone. but even more than that, please pray that i can be salt and light to my family, who do not know the peace of God which surpasses all understanding.
