Wai Jia is back from Myanmar (since last night actually) and has started work right away. The trip was short but refreshing, brief but meaningful. She thanks you all for your prayers and love, for it was truly an enjoyable time going with a team from her church.
But still, a cloud brews over her head:
I realized, through this break in my daily routine, just how empty my spiritual tank has been all this while; I realized, just how much my heart is lost in the ministry of serving broken children and building young lives, and less so in the day to day administrative humdrum of junior-doctoring (which really is a lot of dry, mechanical work and less honey-melting affection); I realized, just how much of God I need back in my life, in my day to day everyday work of loving, serving and giving.
I just hadn’t realized, how burnt out, run-down and beaten 2 months of 80-hour work weeks had made me.
And I’m just trying to find my way, my calling, and my footing in this big wide place. Trying to find a way to straddle what it means to be torn between two worlds- the one I’m in, and the one I’m dreaming of. Trying to find a way to find meaning in this everyday life, and believe it has a purpose in my everyday life that shall come tomorrow.
Just, trying to find a way back to God.
Wai Jia will write more about her trip soon, perhaps after her 30-hour non-stop work shift from Saturday 7am till Sunday 1pm. She appreciates and is thankful for all yr prayers, encouragement and love.
