day to day

purposeful

A lot of people from HK loves to go to Taiwan for a short break, coz it’s really close – 1 hour flight, all food are divine, the book store chain there – eslite is fantastic, and i find the place super friendly. Everyone is soooo friendly and helpful. My colleague went to taipei last year-end, and unfortunately lost his wallet on the very last day of his trip. It’s pretty sad way to end a journey like that and busy cutting all credit cards and applying back for HKID – the most painful process. This lesson taught my friend to buy travel insurance!  Last week, he received a call from a travel agent and asked him to go pick up his wallet which traveled all the way from Taiwan to HK. We are all surprised coz rarely could one get back a wallet when it’s gone, not to mention it’s left in another country. Another stunning thing was that when he gets back the wallet, he discovered all things – card and ID are there, but the money, not a penny less! I seriously think it’s becoz Taiwan is a very religious country, a key portion of the people are Buddhist and I just think that that really makes a difference. When people have a religion, have a faith and belief, a lot of things will be straighten out!

healing prayer

Best friend’s partner is suffering from persistent illness troubling her to have some deepest fear within her heart. Handling patient is not an easy thing – these sick helpless souls tend to be emotional, grumpy, weak and reliant. When one suffers, a bunch suffer. My best friend even suffers from insomnia as too much thoughts kept circling and drive her mind wild and into despair. I tried to convince her to control herself in not letting the mind wander too far, but keep focusing in praying to God, speak to Him and surrender all worries and sadness to the hands of God. She is an atheist and it’s really hard to convince someone at the moment of deepest low to be looking to God for help, but she listens. I know she is listening and trying to do it. She told me for three nights she has been praying and I know God will hear her plea. Prayer does work, only if we try. We could be hearing God’s words why He has arranged things we see He wants us to see. Prayer answers not by receiving things we ask for, but could be God’s direction and guidance and hope. When we have hope, we persist. My best friend – don’t sink – stay afloat with the live-saver God has given you!

When people are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast.
Job 22:29

I pray that we would trust and believe in God, he would only give us the amount we could bear…believe in Him and believe we, through Him, could move the toughest hurdles! We would make it.

Christianity, day to day, faith

the moment

just to let you know i was baptized yesterday at my Church! it’s an amazing time, family and many many friends turn up! their presence really is making such a difference – quite a few are non-believers too and yet they make an effort to come witness the wonderful moment. all the lovely flowers & gifts…thank you! some friends cannot appear being they are at the hospital delivering their babies, otherwise I am sure they would be there for me. i am a person who fears attention – i don’t even want to attend graduation when i graduated from school, i m scared of awards etc. being i can’t handle all eyes on me. but yesterday, it turn out to be fine as it’s different – it’s not something about personal glory, it’s a moment I have announced publicly through my testimony that He is my one and only true God. I have accepted him and that is the least I could do to thank Him. i know God will be happy to see what i have done. it’s indeed a personal advancement for me, as i feel like i have grown a bit further now.
more to come !!! wanna see some photos? click here!

This water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also – not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 3:21

I pray that God will continue to use me as His instrument and tool.

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.

not only a food TV series

last night, during the time when it’s showing my mom’s favorite food TV show “So Far So Good”…i thought i heard something strange?! it’s not about food!!! i heard from the living room, this TV host Ah So was actually quoting Psalms 23 during the TV show!! [I was listening only in my room] then i dashed out to the living room and saw the next thing showing she introduced an old man who did not have a chance when he was young and only learn to write with his hand / water and the soil on the ground…and nowadays, his house is full of his calligraphy – the master piece look-like ones all hanging on his wall! and he is a pious christian today, and he dedicated his gifted calligraphy skills writing out the bible phrase…such as the Psalms! i m astonished by how much this christian TV host is willing to bring all the non-believers the news and words of God. in way that are interesting and gentle! At the end, i asked my mom if she knows the host is a christian…she cutely rolled her eye and said “yes i know and she is like you!” HAHAHA!

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
But do this with gentleness and respect.
1 Peter 3:15
I pray in the Name of God that He will let His words run in my heart, mind and soul and I will live out His message in my daily life.
