Thank God

Last week has been a frustrating week, going through so many obstacles. God has put a test to my patience and faith through various incidents. I guess that's the final exam to my service in Service Group and to pave a path for the succeeding person. While I am on turbo speed and trying to make things work, God slows me down by detour. What a weak person am I, always forgot to kneel before Him and rely on Him.

It has been quite a learning experience to lead the group, struggling big time of what can be talked about to minimize sensitive topic. Jesus done great thing, the sharing went okay.

Talk about the phone calls made last week, restaurant after restaurant, banquet hall after banquet hall, driving extra miles to actually see the place and dinning experience tasting authentic family style French Crusine. The food and environment are great but not the banquet hall, it is just too small to fit us all. However, it was a lovely experience to spend the night with brothers and sisters who filled with love and understanding. Thank God, the Christmas Party at last finalized at a local (Temple City) restaurant. At times, the right one is just within reach, often times we just traveled too far to search.

Philippians are set with Christmas Party as well as Camp for 2008. The journey up the mountain is already very adventurous, however comparing it with the downhill journey, it is nothing. After a night of shower, the car is covered by a shear of ice. The zig-zac road is jammed with slippery cars. The sliding rock, the winding trees, the head chilling snow, when the nature calls, God is not there, but when our car is just several feet away from the cliff with the slide, God is in our heart. Thank God, we all made it back home safely and got the mission completed. May all the glory to God.

God enlarges our capacity to do more for Him by giving us trials beyond our human mind can imagine, and His grace is given in proportion with it. At the feet of the Lord, no one can boast but to bow and kneel.
