| Have I confirmed that I'm going on the STM mission to Yunnan and Sichuan yet? While yeah... Thought I might update a bit more here about it. For ppl who wants to, to follow and support in prayer, and as a record for myself... how often I update, that's still in the air...
Went to my first O-meeting at SCAC yesterday. Met the wonderful team (except one member) and had an amazingly fun time! I'm going to be the youngest on the trip! xD "siu mui mui" again~ hee! Met Jen and Terry - Lainey's "cool friends" and had a mini reunion with Bernie and Paul ^_^ Rev Lau will be our team leader - he is AWESOME!! xD so "c mun" and softspoken - i love it! And a BUNDLE of fun! =) Am so excited about the trip.
One day post-1st-mt I'm starting to see obstacles already >< 1) Over used throat yesterday at church - singing (choir), over speaking (kids and drama... enough said) and ate THAI food for dinner >< --> scared it'll turn into a biiiiiiiiig thing >< prayers needed!!!!! Am on full menu of Redoxin (Vitamin C + Zinc), Panadols, Lorenzge and water water water (NONSTOP!!) 2) Plane tickets - going is fine... will be flying from Syd to HK on June 22... however!!! i can't secure tickets back to Sydney on time >< am starting to stress, earliest is Aug4 NIGHT right now, that's missing 1.5wks of uni - what if I fail?!?!?!?!? I'm scared >< *sniffs*
Prayers are greatly needed for 1 and 2 above and also for my faith and trust in God to be unwavering firm. Cos frankly, I feel really scared to be on the spiritual battlefield so frontline right now. Rev Lau's sharing yesterday about we RECEIVE before we're called to GIVE was really encouraging =) As I stood scaring myself at the train station today over "what if" situations re:tickets, the song "My Redeemer Lives" (Chinese version from SOP) came into my head =)
Thank God for always holding onto me and for his unfailing love and grace even when this "siu mui" is so weak and fearful.
Dear Lord, help me to trust in You completely, thank You that I can see your glory and strength when I am weak and completely helpless and feeling hopeless. Lord I need You.
More later~
P.S. I'm not sure how often I'll be updating this so if you want more regular updates re: STM please let me know so I can add you to my prayer list. Thanks in advance!! |
