Hooray for Andy Sohn! "The Sound of Your Voice"
Daniel Robbins
The link above will take you to Don Francisco's MP3 page, where ye (i.e. "you") can listen - if inclined - to "The Sound of Your Voice" (in the album "Only Love is Spoken Here"). I dedicate this song to Andy Sohn (Korean name "Sohn-Sihng-Taehk"). He has been one of my gaurdian angels, and has taken, perhaps, the most interest in caring for me, since I became friends with him in Gwacheon City. Last "Friday" night (or, the evening of the sixth day of last week), Andy picked me up, bought me some Soy Bean milk and crackers, and - as he has done SO many times - listened to me. I wish I could tell you is was all "Easy listening" - but I have to actually say it was not. He actually had to stop me in the middle of what I was saying a few times, and "set me straight". He helped me to see things from a perspective other than my own - and I thank him for it. I have no intention of losing this battle - but I by no means take credit for the victory I am waiting for. I give the glory to God, and I thank my friends - especially Andy. Andy, you have been there for me right from the start of this heart-breaking situation. Again, you have listened to me for so long, so many times, I would never be able to repay you. You have been such a God-send, and I honour you, in Jesus' name.
I did visit the police station, but nothing important happened. It was simply not time for what I had in mind. What did I have in mind? To meet certain people there - but they were not ready. So, what exactly is going on here? I am walking with God, and trusting him to show me how to deal with a really thorny situation, which I am in because of my fault. My resolve to fear God, and not man (Proverbs 29:15), is being testing sorely, and I pray I would pass it, by the grace of God. I read in my Bible, that where sin did abound, grace did much more abound (or "superabound") (see the end of Romans 5). To that end I pray, in Jesus' name, amen. The spiriutal enenmy meant all of this for evil - to destroy many lives. I pray that, by God's grace, what the enemy meant for evil would be miraculously used of God to heal, liberate, and quicken many souls - again - in Jesus' name.
Amen,
Daniel
