Back to good ol' Hong Kong

This week I was able to come to Hong Kong to hang out with Tommy and other brothers and sisters for a refreshing gathering aimed at kind of recharging the spirits of Calvary peoples here in Asia. The conference was definitely much needed in my own life, and I'm really grateful to Him for working everything out for me to come.





So anywho, here's a pic of yours truly in September 2008... : )

I'm standing with a brother from Fiji. He's an American citizen but was born in Fiji, and eventually moved back as an Adult to serve there.

It was really incredible meeting some of these people and the stories they had to tell. It was a great reminder not only that He can get us through whatever storms lie before us, but also that there are brothers and sisters all over the world feeling and facing the same challenges I am.

Praise Him. : )

I'll write about some things that He spoke to me maybe at another time. It's difficult to gather my thoughts right now, so I'll have to write again later.

Thank you everyone for lifting things up here. When you're able to step back and take a look at all the things that have taken place in the last eight months, it definitely helps change your perspective on everything.

Hope everyone is doing good. : ) Pull in close to Him. He has promised to get us through to the other side. Sometimes it takes longer than at others, but it's all in His good timing. Love you guys.

Back in Haikou

Over the rivers and through the woods..
..after two days on a train, I finally arrived back in Haikou earlier this evening...

I'm not sure what to think...

It feels really wierd being back here...

I'll go back to school tomorrow morning, that's exciting news. : )

I wish I would have studied a little harder over these last three months so that I could slide into C-ban. (the level 3 class).. but I don't think it'll happen.

Things are still kind of crazy, but maybe I'm getting over it now.

I suppose it all comes down to a simple matter of just choosing to trust Him...choosing to let go plans or needs or wants...Have I stopped believing that He already knows all those things, and that He truly is good? ...perhaps...

Anywho, I'm back. Back to the place that I think He wants me at for now. Just waiting. No plans....

Hoping, however, that He will soon enough give me some sort of commission or confirmation or I dunno...something... maybe I just don't like walking without sight....

Time for bed.

I want to say thank you to everyone who has been lifting me up. He manages to work out His will and purposes through all my confusion and doubt...He likes to work in spite of me.

Goodnight everyone. : )

It's all bad..

I don't know what's going on anymore...

The bags are packed, and many memories with them.

I don't know what happened here....Another 3 months have gone by, and I'm not sure what it was all about...

Just living I guess...

Surviving, at times..

What am I doing? ..
I feel as though I've been completely swallowed up by this question... What am I doing?

Have I walked outside of His ever present grace? Have I stopped eating that bread of life or drinking from that well of living water?

I don't know..

我和小叶分手了。。

我没有准备好。。

We'll see what happens...

He is faithful as promised, I know...

It's just that sometimes things can be confusing...

and maybe so because my life really isn't submitted to Him...

...

"For the love of C controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised."


"When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you. Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but G is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. But for me it is good to be near G; I have made the L G my refuge, that I may tell of all your works"
