I did it !

Life with my Master is always full of surprises, His plan is unique, when I listen & act as He leads, joy is overflowing.

Recently learned story telling from an experienced 'field teacher', story of the good news from C2C. Key teaching is we must try & master the story by telling others - best is to non family members. I find it very difficult especially he wants it with full facial expression .....like dramatics. To who then ? Finally I got the chance.

During my recent trip, as I was still asking Father when can I try my story telling skill on Mr. T, Father sent Mrs. T to me instead ! Wahla ! I got the whole 1 hour in the car with her. It was good practise ! I did it ! Father, she is yours now.

God's Cafe

God's Cafe is my small group & support group. I love this group.

When I first arrived HK, a sister invited me & from there I made new friends, I learn the Words and I grow. We do many things together, eat, pray, laugh, cry.....in short, we do lives together. But life is busy & changing fast, members come & go, married and moved away, posted to another country, new babies, new faces, busy schedules, different priority.....

We didn't meet for many months and last night was the 're-union' night. WONDERFUL evening !! I really miss the support & sharing. Not another 6 months for next meeting please......

Volunteers

I like my job, it's challenging. Doing things that I like & many are new to me.

Just yesterday, interviewed group of youth who volunteered to help up at BT booth this coming HK Book Fair. It was fun to see the different behaviour and presentation of these future leaders. Especially encouraged by their eagerness to serve, and took the initiative to enroll.

Really look forward for the training day and walk along side with them. Hoping the relationship does not end after the book fair.

Beautiful song

My weekend with the new comers to the factory, I don't understand a single word (except Jehsu ) but it was beautiful , they sing to Him. Remembering them in prayers.

Sabbath please...

Lately been busy at work, picking up additional responsibility & crazy over new financial year planing. Weeknights & weekends are equally busy with kingdom works. Very tired. I need Sabbath, truly quiet & relax Sabbath. Where shall I go ?

when to say the right thing ?

Mr. T, a gentle, polite & soft spoken Chinese, I see him whenever I visit China factory. He is reliable & takes me to the factory safely each trip from the boarder.

After more than 6 months engaging his service and after the earthquake disaster, for the first time we talked & touched on lives & spiritual issue. We agreed on some & disagreed on another. I was at awe to see how God engineered the opportunity & conversation, he shared much more than I expected.

He is a Buddhist with little understanding what & who is the truth. From his eyes, every religion is the same.

I was listening patiently & asking Father when is the right time to share His good news. do you ever have that same struggle ? how & when please ?? Naturally I am a good listener not good at speaking. I tried and only managed to share a glimpse of the gospel and was at the end of the journey.

will I have the chance again ? yes, next trip. Continue to ask for strength & wisdom for when & how to share.

His grace

Just returned from China factory this afternoon, invite you to share my joy.

After months of building relationship & trust, the girls are getting easier to share & ask questions openly. It's wonderful to know God's purpose to have me there alone this trip. The dynamic is very different from previous trips. Some struggles were shared & thank God was able to walk through with them.

Praying in a group setting is very foreign to them, they are used to have the 'leader' to pray for all requests. No matter how much I encourage them, the progress was very slow & not well received. They are lovely & faithful believers but personal intimate relationship with God seem a little far....but last night was different.

Picture this : group of girls in a circle, hands around each other shoulder, praying for the struggles each has shared in the night. How much more beautiful than seeing their growth & hearing the beautiful & yet trembling prayers of these sisters ? Yes, everyone of them prayed. My heart was just overflow with joy & tears for God's grace in the midst of their prayers. I hope you share the same, but you will get to experience more if you were there, oppsss..... this is a challenge & invitation, you are welcome to join me next time.

I am no different from anyone of you, very much like to enjoy the long weekend with ease & relax from work. But I also know my presence there, no matter how short the times will bring encouragement to their walk with God. One of the girls said "I want to know God & have quiet time with Him but just can't keep up & get lazy & felt bad " The spirit is willing but the body is weak. This is so true, there are times I struggle - to rest or to visit them but the word "obey & perseverance' push me to run the race marked out for me. Her honest confession reminds me of how God been so faithful & patience with us.
