Submissive, Submissive, Submissive

"Submissive, submissive, submissive"... was the only reminder from the boards and PK before we departed. Though we've gotten it down and did practice it.. we still didn't have a full submission after the Nankai middle school's camp was over. However, I learnt that we're people lacking submission when we do not stay alert all the time. It's so easy to just slipped away and the next minute we knew it, we've been disobedient! Snap, just like that...


I felt like I learnt so much this yr in the camp. About unity, submission, loving and accepting one another despite of our differences in personalities, working styles, cultures, habits and just about everything! The only thing that ties us together is because we all fear God and are willing to change because of Him. I sensed the humility in their hearts and so I saw the changes and truly admiring them. Thank God for a wonderful team, Stephanie, Benson, Ray, Jordan, Rosalyn, Jessica, Abraham, Christina, Catherine, Kindra, Andy, Jeff, Michael, Jet, and me (of course, also Julia Ayi, Uncle Alan, Steven and Dennis). Praise GOD that we resolved everything... I really wanna carry the submission and unity that I see among us back to the states. I hope that I'll remain sensitive always trying to stay in submission and unity w/ my brothers and sisters... always learn to have a good character as a good leader. Keep using the characters that I taught the kids to be a good leader as well. Seriously.. what we taught was so meaningful and practical to me as well. :)


LOVE is beyond all the talents we can ever have, I pray that I'll always have love before all corrections, judgments, critiques and avoidance. Um, maybe it is possible to train anyone to be disciple of His. I've often thought that connections, chemistry between people play a more crucial role in terms of making closer relationships w/ those who I wanna build bonding with, or even do discipleship with... maybe not so now. It's a determination, whoever you see has the passion to grow, has a humble heart, who you decide to disciple on. The key is... do you love to see them achieve higher than where you are? I found myself relieved.. when I discovered this. The core issue is about our love for others. Lili reminded me 我們要擔當別人的重擔. 這是要出於愛他人的心, 而不是只因為我們頭腦知道是耶穌的吩咐. 發現人真的很容易只關注自己的需要... 主啊, 謝謝祢憐憫我們... 求改變我的心, 讓我給時是出於愛他人.. a willing heart and giving hands.


I don't want to be in a backward prison... I want to set myself free from all the bitterness and jealousy, Lord, empower me to continue walking in Your grace.
