Staying in a big room all by myself in a chalet; indeed a whole new experience. Grandma's birthday was fine yesterday, so many people were there and I had no idea who they were; as in how to call them. Well you know it all, in chinese culture all the second uncle, second grand aunt thing. I didn't even recognise some faces. Around 40 over people turn up for Grandma's birthday party; glad that she enjoy it.
Shireen was sharing with me what she sees and feels over at China; what got me all passion up and firmer with my dream was her sharing on Christianity over there. Lord, now I know why you have called on so many people. Serving You just isn't about singing and looking good, no! It's about reaching out to the lost and those waiting for You.
I can only give praise when I heard Shireen's sharing. Being a christian in Singapore is so much more better than being one in China. We get to go to church every saturdays and sundays; without worries! Yes, worries like what to wear or where to go after church; maybe in my past case about parents' disapproval. But over in China and also in other parts of the world, it's their life that they have to worry about. You see churches in singapore, big ones small ones, maybe sometimes you don't event give a second look at it. In China, you don't see churches around.. The way the police treats the missionaries and christians once they are caught, how they are tortured..I'm not sure if I can post what I wanna post on net, but I think it's best I keep it to myself and would only share it by mouth.
China, a big country with billions of people, waiting for the Lord. The amazing thing is, the more the police in China purge the Christians, the more revival there is. Praise the Lord! I got a clearer vision last night. I told God that I'm willing to go till the ends of the earth for Him, but I still couldn't put down some of those dreams that I had earlier on. Last night, I told God.. even if it takes my life. Christianity is moving so strongly all over the world, that I think little know about it in Singapore. God is so, so, so wonderful! All the testimony I heard from Shireen was wonderful. I got so much more to learn! Now I know why I didn't leave a chinese church and have a passion to wanna serve the chinese community.
I wanna go China one day...
Count your blessings, not what's missing
The song Send Me Lord has so much more meaning to me now.
