Soda Money
Since we are serving in Uganda for one year, we decided not to hop in and out of the country just to extend our visas. Instead, we decided to go with an agency to help obtain a work visa for Wai Jia and a dependent pass for me. Doing things the right way is sometimes […]
Prayer is stupid
Prayer to us is not practical, it is stupid, and until we do see that prayer is stupid, stupid from the ordinary, natural, common sense point of view, we will never pray. But that is what Jesus says He will do. It sounds stupid, but it is a stupidity based on His redemption. The reason […]
Being In Christ
I wrote this post a few weeks ago. It just took some time to publish it. Today’s morning prayer we studied Colossians 2:6-7. Our homework from yesterday was to bring an object that symbolize this passage. As each of us brought different items and explain to others what they stand for, someone brought this […]
Grandma
I lived in Hong Kong until I was eight before my family moved to Canada. Hong Kong has a special place in my heart. I have fond memories of my relatives and cousins gathering together during Chinese New Year and other holidays. For Christmas, I would stay at my grandparents (my mother’s side). They would […]
Between knees and tears
I had a revelation a few weeks ago. It came after praying with much fear and tribulation. I usually don’t pray on my knees. I only do so when I really need to hear from the Lord. One time after such prayers, I had the following thoughts… How come I always have to beg the […]
Prayer and desire to be independent…
I will be honest. I am horrible at praying. Especially to pray for a long time. My mind always drift off. I sometimes fall asleep praying. Sometimes I am too busy to pray. Actually there are many times I am too busy to pray. But since the beginning of this year, I am tired of […]
Open up my eyes
Yesterdays sermon, I was captured by one passage… 2 Kings 6 15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh, my lord, what shall we do?” the servant asked. 16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet […]
Psalm 142 – Prayer for Help in Trouble
I am a deacon in my church in the English Congregation. The past week, as a leader I had to deal with a matter I never expected or seen. I have no direction exception laying it out before the Lord. I have been sitting and praying and listening to the Lord for Him to guide […]
What I should pray for…
A few weeks ago, in a sense of brokenness, I asked God to change my heart. It wasn’t the fact that my life is not going well. I just feel unmotivated. How often would I pray to God for external things or to change my external circumstances. Like for a new car if I do […]
Dignity
“Why are you giving this to me in this place? Can’t you see there are people I know around here?” – R replied as we are standing in an underground food court. My friend was holding a sleeping bag that was for R. He was offended. A good lesson on dignity. No one enjoys being […]
