- so, you are praying about your calling?
- yes, i’m doing that.
- how do you do that?
- i look back, pause, close my eyes, wait, reflect, and look
forward.
- have you seen anything?
- yes, i saw values.
- what values? what do you value most in life?
- beauty, love, depth, and meaning. i think that reveals my
calling.
- have you seen any God-given gifts in yourself?
- i saw the desire to write and to know hearts.
- you like writing?
- yes, i do.
- who are your fav. writers and why?
- aileen chang before i became christian, and henri nouwen
afterwards, for their profound understanding of humanity and
hearts, and their incredible ability to communicate that.
- what do you think you can contribute to the world?
- healing broken hearts through beauty and understanding, and
introducing a way to the depth of the divine love.
- how do you describe your calling? can you name it?
- depth of heart. 心灵深处 … do you agree?
- yes, i can see that too.
- then, do you want to say something to help me enter and walk in
my journey well?
- well, open your eyes and see the practical people and practical things around you as God-sent angels instead of interruptions. although your calling is about "deep calling deep", you can’t live in there all the time, otherwise you will exhaust yourself and get drowned. find simple happiness in life. engage with your body. eat and sleep well. enjoy those ordinary moments with your family and friends, for that is the true blessing which you ought to recognize.
