This past week in a nut shell: I realized I’ve failed as a daughter. Our office was robbed. I've seen a parent try to move from the countryside to the city for the sake of her child, and fail. My mom finally recognizes and thanks God for the changes in my life. Tension with the family here has pushed everyone over the edge…did I leave out anything? Maybe.
I've realized I'm self-centered, impatient, pray to God like he's my genie, and don't praise his name enough. I needed to have doors closed on me, be criticized to my face, and see the hardship others face to learn that my problem lies in my attitude in general, not my specific reaction to things. Thank you God for using Qing Dao as a humbling experience for me. Although the Danish relatives are leaving tomorrow, the learning doesn't stop here. I approach the remaining 3 weeks of my trip with the expectation to learn more..
