| I suddenly decided to log onto xanga after a long time. Didn't realise it's been a whole year since my last entry! And the Ed Monkton illustration I posted makes even more sense to the state I'm feeling right now...
Maybe...
A lot has happened since that last entry and I have had a huge shift in my state of mind and the beliefs I held dear to. Who knows what changes I may yet experience in a year.
Though I'm thinking I might start to update more even though noone will read this...
Just for myself if anything.
An outlet. Though a cryptic one...

| I don't know if there's any point in updating anymore because I rarely
update and everyone knows that so noone reads this... I really
want to update, but I'm just gonna leave u with this right now...

| Watched a satirical stage comedy with my family on Monday. I
thought I wouldn't understand much of it because frankly I have very
limited knowledge of Hong Kong political background and current
affairs. I probably missed a few jokes but I laughed so much at
the rest of it. I realise I knew more than I thought I did and it
made me want to know more. They showed clips of what Hong Kong
looked like in the past, which made me nostalgic and wishing I'd been
there - the colonial buildings were beautiful but sadly most are not
preserved but made way for tall rise buildings for the sake of money,
mainly... They also showed a slideshow of major news headlines
over the century, all around the world and local. It almost made
me cry coz every headline was about people of the world, and it just
reminds me of God's broken heart of His people again. It caused
my heart to stir and reminded me that I must respond to God's heart.

| I've just come back from 180 (young adults group I've been going to for about 4 years whenever I'm in Hong Kong) and am so refreshed I could not just go to sleep without writing my first entry of the year... Even though I know I need to go to sleep earlier than I've been to keep my energy levels up. Anyways, there's nothing like meeting face to face with God to lift up my spirits. God just really spoke to me through the talk and the worship. I don't deserve it, but He is so faithful. The talk was on God's broken heart for His people. There have been incidents recently that have caused me grieve and God was really saying to me that His heart is broken for the situation I'm in. He wants me, as I have known, to confront the matter and to humble myself, but today it mattered so much to hear that His heart is broken about the situation, and He was saying that He will bring me through it. The talk also mentioned about God's heart being broken for the lost, especially the local people in Hong Kong where we've been put. That was powerful for me too. At the church I serve and attend, I have at times felt dry and frustrated at the lack of support, not understanding people of my own culture (so to speak, but most of the time I don't really know which culture I 'belong' in), the different style of worship etc. I feel affirmed that it is His will for me to serve the local people as I am doing and as I knew was His plan for me. He was even saying to me that even though I may seem like just one small person, He is going to use me to harvest. I knew all this but it was so great for it to come from someone else's mouth and it just spoke right into my heart. It was just a reminder that He knows my heart and His heart breaks for all the things that hurt me and He knows the pain. He also wants me to be compassionate as He is for the people His heart is broken for. I cried as I haven't for more than a year and laughed and jumped and prayed and sang at the same time. I was just totally filled with the Spirit. For the times I've felt dry and empty, today I felt almost full in the Spirit. But I know it's not just a one-off thing, God's joy and peace is always in my heart and He just keeps reminding me and refilling me. How great is that?! | | |
| Is it December already?!?! I really got to update. The time just flies by... Yesterday I watched "High School Musical" on VCD... The kids can really have an influence on what I buy coz I wanted to know what they've all been raving on about... Any excuse to return to being a kid again =P The next VCD I'll probably buy is Cars... The boys in my pre-school classes keep going on about McQueen... The only McQueen I knew was the designer with the first name Alexander... I had to have a snoop at posters etc to realise it's the name of the main sports car character. Teehee | | |
