2010 Dec 21 - Galatians 6 - Shelley


Galatians 6:9 'et us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.'
 
Goodmorning all,
 
It's always refreshing to receive such good news and exciting at the same time. God is so good and is really blessing the bible talk. This scripture reminds me of how we need to keep working for God in good times and dry times and God will reward us for our labour as it's not in vain but will produce a harvest of righteousness. Very inspired to see how much all the sisters have dedicated their time and love to help Cat and the brother's mutual love and support. Sometimes in the small things and sharing we can make a difference. Even when I observe in Northpoint last week I can see how open Cat is. God works powerfully when we trust in Him to work in others lives. 1 Corinthians 3 :8 'The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labour.'
 
Happy to move over to the new b.t in January. Sadly on Friday is my last house church in Island Central. At our Christmas party I hope to do some sharing maybe a bit in Cantonese.
Today I go to Mongkok to have a Cantonese lesson at 1pm with Iris, hope it will be good. Hope that I can keep learning and practising with those around me. Change is good but I know it requires me to be humble, adapt to other culture in Railway. Look forward to learning tons and being open for others input.
 
I have had so much chocolate and sweets this morning from the kids at school since it's our Christmas party so feeling a bit hyper. Will start drinking a lot of water today which will flush it all down. Looking forward to my holidays!
 
Have a blessed day in the Lord everyone.
 
Love Shelley-bean

2010 Dec 21 - Isaiah 40 - Brenda


Isaiah 40:30-31 
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,and young men shall fall exhausted; 31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;they shall mount up with wings like eagles;they shall run and not be weary;they shall walk and not faint.
以賽亞書  40:30 就是少年人也要疲乏困倦、強壯的也必全然跌倒.  40:31 但那等候耶和華的、必從新得力、他們必如鷹展翅上騰、他們奔跑卻不困倦、行走卻不疲乏。
Morning dear all,
I've been very exhausted recently,another late night as I got home @12:40am last night after taking the last ferry from central. As the bible says even the young and strong men would fall exhausted. however the lord has renewed my strength so that I can get up early this morning to read the words of God and I feel strengthened.
After 3 hours counting the cost, Cat is now ready to get baptized and we are all so excited as I was so touched and moved when we witness how powerful God is that his words changed Cat's life,and how grateful she is as from the beginning till the end of bible study she's always brusted into tears as she always said that God gave her new life that she never deserved it.
