What will the small valleys and peaks of our own lives look like as we zoom out through time and space from God’s eternal perspective? The chiaroscuro of light and dark points will reveal His wisdom, goodness, and glory. Could an even greater necklace be forming from all of our necklaces together? Such a necklace would be truly fitting for the future queen! So let us continue this dialogue, this link, this necklace together.
I have known Mi Xue for almost 45 years, and have been her husband for nearly 42 of those years. I have seen the wonderful work of God in her life up close and personal, and I have been blessed so much by it.
Mi Xue is the oldest of five children in her family and when I first met her as a student at Stanford University she was strong and confident, because she was a philosophy major and was very intelligent and informed about issues concerning life.

Since then, with her deep understanding of God's Word, she has become wiser about life's many challenges than any woman I have ever met.
