Day X in Canada

hmm...how long have I been back to Canada? I lost count...well but I guess I only have few days left before I go back to US.
Guess I've already missed the land of the free, home of the brave; Canada to me is like a half home, simply because my family lives here. I don't have that much attachment to this place all these years; I guess it's because I've travelled too much and lived in too many cities.
Where is home? Just like Abraham, the father of faith, who lived and travelled in many places knew that he was an alien to this world. Shouldn't we Christians be thinking of this way? We are the legal citizens of the Kingdom, but the aliens of this world.

I love Canada. But without a vision, I have no rights, no passion, no commitment to live here just like I won't move back to Boston for a stinky job. Sometimes I'd wonder if that's the right attitude; many think I am such an unbelievable person who would give up good career opportunities to win the next generation for God. I say, the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He always takes me to the green pasture.

Always like this ever since I graduated, unless God tells me to move on to another city or I will stay at where I am till my purpose is fulfilled. Never go forward unless the Holy Spirit says so. Just for my personal record, in 2000, I gave up an opportunity to move to Paris; in 2001Tokyo, in 2001 NY, in 2006 Westlake Village CA, in 2007 Boston...did I miss anything? Well...what's the next city? haha...to let go is to receive, right?

Wait upon the Lord, Jack. Be still and know that He is God.
I love You, Lord Jesus. You are my all in all.
