on the way ?

am I really on the way ? .....halfway already. Can't believe it's happening, not only from those surprise faces when I shared the plan but myself also is dealing with it anew each day. What a lifelong challenge !! I am anxious but not perplex. My only hope is in Him.

Special blessed day

Countless blessings today....with thanksgiving heart.

Blessing 1
Led my first small group meeting at BT, new faces coming together to share lives. Went really well, everyone is willing to blend in. May we build this a safe group & trust to share.
Received a lovely card from group and a happy lunch.

Blessing 2
Surprise from marketing team, birthday song with guitar and Chinese tradition 'red' egg, not cake ! who can guess this creative idea from my teammates. yeah, the crazy & fun marketing people ! I treasure & enjoy the team spirit with this team.


Blessing 3
First class at BSF. Although more than 100 people on wait list, didn't wait long to have a space. When I was least expected and willing to give & trust on His timing, He pour in more.

Blessing 4
Who want to have dinner at 9:30 pm ? so late ?! But group of friends waited until I finished BSF class and celebrate this special day with me. This really touched my heart, I love them all !

These are blessings I received in just one day, amazing. All these I give praise & thanksgiving to my loving Father. I learn what is to be filled when I continues to pour out. Would I be that pot of oil that never run dry ?

Different type of mid-autumn celebration

What is better to start the day by worshipping together ? On mid-autumn day, we worship at a local church in Kunming, powerful sermon by the preacher. The girls put on their best for the Lord.

Dinner at the school, small room, simple food but joyous spirit !

Moon cakes from Hong Kong ! Look at that smiling faces...lovely.



After dinner, the girls dance & sing for us, beautiful movements & pleasing praise songs. They were dancing on the street with dim light, Ah Dang moved the truck & had the head light spot on. After one dance, the neighbour joined us, she enjoyed it very much and same with us. How blessed we are !




Family usually get together to celebrate Mid-Autumn festival, it's family reunion celebration. These Lisu girls are far away from home, but God brought us together as His family to celebrate & praise Him. Truly unforgettable experience.

The Rhythm of learning

There were many things happened for the first time at DG last month, Father surprised us with full facility class room setting, no more study while sweating under the summer heat ! ( you can image how we did it the last months).


Small group discussion is new to most, but I must said they did well for the first time. A little warm up & encouragement, they were at ease to learn & share openly. Practice and practice.


I love this scene....what about you ?

Every trip I see & hear His beautiful rhythm, high & low, sweet & sour and full of surprises. He is faithful and I love Him more and more each day.

Trust & Obey = Joy

More than 3 years ago, with no planning and any 'know how',I started meeting with few sisters to study the Word. Simply yield to HS leading. The journey is not easy, at times I felt totally inadequate; who am I to lead these ladies ? did I interpret the Word rightly ? did I model C's likeness ? The battle goes on when most remain & prefer 'drinking milk instead of eating solid'.

Like the psalmist asks " How long, LORD ? Will you forget me forever ? How long will you hide your face from me ?" (Ps 13). I asked, how long LORD should I continues ? what good is it if there is no growth ? But wait, why complain ? I was just like that before......

His Word comforts me, from the same Psalm 13, the key lies in the 'unfailing love' (v5), quote from Marva Dawn's book title ' My soul waits' : Chesedh (Hebrew) translated "unfailing love", the term describes the steadfast, covenant love of the LORD, the amazing grace of His infinite kindness and compassion toward us, His people. The unfailing steadfastness of Chesedh tells for sure that God has not forgotten us, not for a moment; nor will He ever.

What's more do I need than Chesedh ? and the promise will follows (Ps13:5b) ...my heart rejoices in your salvation.

How true it is with the promise, today I REJOICE with Him because there are major breakthrough with the ladies ! yes, the liberation from bondage ! yes, the joy from submission and blessings from obedience ! Praise the LORD ! Last night meeting was full of joy and praises.

The journey continues with many challenges but with 'unfailing love' of His, we are able to walk.

Do you remember times when you felt you couldn't go on ? Then, just the right time, YHWH sent His love & encouragement in some special way. Last night was something very special from Him to my group.

I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me. (Ps 13:6)

Road side store


My most recent breakthrough - dining by the road side in DG (road side of China is very different from HK). Most customers are workers from nearby factories. The store serves very simple menu; spicy noodles with soup or fried noodles or fried rice. The chef is just next to us, yeah, open kitchen - cooking & washing & dining at the same place. But to be fair, the noodles taste good, you just have to NOT ask what's inside. : )


This is the simple life of many factory workers. Besides work, a bowl of noodles or a piece of watermelon in the summer. Life can either be simple but fulfilling or simple & empty. Which one is for them ?

Life will be so empty without the WORD. May our sisters be the light & salt in this city.
