~tomorrow..O_o :) :? ^_^ =)
I can't believe that I'm leaving tomorrow...it seems soo weird and bizarre cuz i don't think it has hit me just yet. I woke up this morning feeling excited and quesey and nervous all at the same time. There is so much I want to do before I go and it narrows down to about 26 hrs in which i could do it all.. For those of you I haven't mentionned it to.. I'm going to Hong Kong. =)
It has been a long journey coming to this point.. Most of you are probably wondering.. " WHAT are you talking about..????? you haven't even gone..yet" Well a little background: I've wanted to go back to Hong Kong for at least 3-4 summers now with my family. We've always been looking for a chance to go back to visit my family back there but there has never been the opportunity to do so. I know I have been praying for this for such a long time but not knowing when it was going to happen. I think I always imagined it to happen a certain way also, being able to go back with my whole family and do things together. I was excited about shopping, seeing childhood friends, childhood places etc...on top of visiting my grandparents and other relatives..
BUT early this year, God placed a real burden on my heart to pray for my grandma who does not know Christ :( This has been something always in the back of my mind. But I guess my prayer for it has never been something I NEEDED to do. It never struck me how much I wanted Her to see God's Love and Know that He Loves Her SO much! I've never talked to her about this part of my life and I realized it was cuz I always assumed she wouldn't listen. BUt I know God opens doors for a reason and I truely believe that I can't do it, BUT HE CAN! So ya... this is the reason I believe GOd God has given me the opportunity to go back. It is neat becuz I am not going back with family,even though my sister and my mom will join me later. I think God made it work out this way so I must trust Him alone and also that i will have some more time with my grandma. It is also neat cuz he's taken away my desire to do any of the other things ie/ shopping .. I will prolly end up shopping..:P but.. i'm not there to shop which I felt was a real big change of heart.
anyways...sorrry such a long entry. I know I don't have the cantonese or words to be able to speak to my grandma about Christ. I've been trying to learn but..ya...not going so well. I believe though that like Moses and Jeremiah..that God will provide the words. =)I would like to ask you all to help pray for my grandma. Thank you for all your encouragement and support :) I'll write more hopefully when I get to HK.. until then.. take care everyone =) HOpe to talk to you all soon :) GOd bless!
