    “Thawing” on sunny island

    We said good-bye to winter wonderland, snow, its minus 30+ degree Celsius weather, and most of all, our dear spiritual family members and numerous friends. As we now “thaw” on sunny island, relaxing and enjoying more modern environment, more comfort, more friends, more and more and more of the supposedly “good” things in life; somehow, somewhat, somewhere deep in my heart, I know I don’t really belong here.

    Some might think I am crazy, but I do miss the winter wonderland. Despite its cold and frozen weather, despite its spiritual tension, despite its “stiff” and “numb” working environment, I miss being there! Cos it was there, I grew spiritually whilst serving our Almighty God. It was there, His Word came alive. It was there, I witnessed the wonderful work of saving grace of Jesus upon the lost. It was there, lives change into His image.

    This sunny island is progressing and bustling each day. Spectacular skyline. Superlatives. Sophistication. … Souls! Lost souls. I look around, observing the busy thoroughfare, the heavy burden, the demands of daily life … oh, how I wish, people know The Way, The Truth, The Life! … Not mere knowledge, but a total dependence!

    As we “thaw” and enjoy the warm love of family and friends on this sunny island, it is my prayer that I don’t get sloppy spiritually, and that I will continue to rejoice, worship, serve and love God wherever I am, even in this sophisticated, “sleepless”, “secured” and “Shiok” city, cos I know He is with me always! May He continue to show Himself strong. May we redeem the time, make His name known and witness His goodness and mercy, each day.

    Over the last week I was privileged to take a couple trips to other places of interest in the northeast. As we drove across the land to our destination, I looked out upon miles and miles of well-manicured corn rows. No land is wasted; every square inch is used to grow something that is useful for living; very little if any land is left to grow just plain grass. Everything… Read More....

    HE THAT DRINKS OF THE WATER THAT I GIVE HIM SHALL NEVER THIRST AGAIN!!! HEY!!!

    That is my freedom! What is this searching in my life? What is this restlessness? What is this thirsting for something more? Jesus is all that I need.

    Lately I read about the Philistines capturing the ark &amp… Read More....

    I had a good last-time with Class A on Thursday. We played Jeopardy with a review of things we had studied. They make everything fun and hilarious!!! It’s hard to explain it – just little actions like J & M slapping the desk (part of the game) to answer at the exact same time. I can’t even remember the super-funny thing we were laughing about. It was so cute! So… Read More....
