My church children’s ministry leader met with me to ask if I can help her organize regular prayers for the bible camp week coming up in August. We are in January currently. I was blown away by her heart for more power and impact for the children. Praise God!
āEvan will be an evangelist.ā
“Evan will be an evangelist.” – I heard this so vividly when my son and I were driving into NYC. We were in the middle of Lincoln tunnel where you lost radio signal. Evan was only five. It was only the two of us going to a family friend’s Jewish baby naming ceremony in NYC because my husband and daughter had a soccer tournament.
Wonder Woman
Who is ‘Wonder Woman’ to me? In the past my definition of her would be that she is a strong kick-ass of a woman who can defeat and beat anyone with her physical strength and super powers. She is independent and strong; a beautiful warrior who fights for justice. She is fierce in battle. It’s the image that Hollywood has sold me.
Born-again as a premie.Ā
When I was about 14, I went to a weeklong summer youth retreat participated by several Korean churches. After seeing many youth worshipping God and the evening sermon touching my heart, I remember yearning to know God too. I asked on that second night in silent prayer, “God, if you are real, please show me.” The very next morning He did with great power!
Training in Progress.
Lately the Holy Spirit has been reminding me about this blog site and to write more my experiences so that I don’t forget. I think I can understand a little bit why it took Jesus’ eye witnesses and disciples to write the four gospels on Jesus approximately 40+years after His resurrection. Life moves very fast especially with family responsibilities and ministry work!
Tango dance dream
Dear journal, what a cool dream I had again! I hope I can capture everything before I forget. In this dream I felt like I was in a college campus because there were many young adults walking about or sitting together in groups hanging out.
āArranged marriageā dream
What a neat dream I just had today! In this dream I was engaged to a man I didn’t know through an arranged marriage orchestrated by the elders. Time period was such that this custom felt normal and acceptable. I saw my maternal grandparents busy and getting my wedding dowry ready! Our household wasn’t dirt poor; we had the basics and therefore we lived satisfied. Nevertheless this wedding dowry was demanding much of what we had. I was wondering if this bridegroom was worth it.
āFear of the Lordā dream
The Holy Spirit has been telling me to write this dream down before too much time passes by. I have been busy with much ministry work. Just like household chores there appears to be no end to ministry work too. Praise Jesus for he makes me lie down to rest as Psalm 23 says!
444
Many years ago a Chinese friend told me that the Chinese do not like the number four because it sounds similar to the word death. Ever since I’ve heard this as a teenager I generally stayed away from number four. Although I’m not Chinese I respected their opinions.
Believe
Luke 1:45 – You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.
It’s been four months since I’ve been living out my word of the year “Believe”. (I follow the academic year so it started early September.) Luke 1:45 is my backbone verse for my word, and the Holy Spirit has been faithfully giving me other scriptures to keep on encouraging and inspiring me to stand firm on my word “Believe”.
