With God's grace, I graduated again at the beginning of June in LTS.  This is a MA programme in Pastoral Counselling.  ...  I feel happen not because of the graduation but the grace and strength experienced during the studying.   This is also a sign that He let me to know : I'll leave the current state to the next soon.  Going to mission is coming soon!  But I don't know when and where exactly.   So, what I can do now is to wait patiently, to learn much more surrendering to God wholeheartedly and to keep on praying as well as listening to His guidance. ... Perhaps I'll be more clear in next year! ...

To go to mission is not my personal will, but His calling that inspired me in the Easter Conference in Sheffield in 1996.  This calling moved me a lot and I'll never forget!

To take a small steps towards this calling, I joined a mission internship training trip,held by Gospel Operation International (華人福音普傳會) in which Jane is serving, in the north of Thailand, in order to glimpse a bit farther!  It's really a precious and valuable experience for me, and I treasure all the people met in this trip, too.

Dear Lord, thanks  for answering my pray!  And, please keep my heart open to You always and be willing to follow Your will as mine.   I aware my fears, anxieties and  struggles inside my heart.  Please grant me courage to be brave enough to surpass them and also enhance my resolution to persist Your will in my life be done during my pilgrimage towards the Cross.   In the most precious name Jesus Christ, Amen!

David G. Benner says, "God's will is that you become the person that from eternity you were destined to be -- your true self-in-Christ.  God's will is that you discover the fullness of life that is uniquely possible in surrendering to divine love and take up your calling in the Kingdom of God." ( "Desiring God's Will" p.103) 

Benner's saying inspires me very much!  Thanks Lord again!

I noticed a news reported in a daily newspaper:  Over 300 thousands peoople watched a  "you tube" film about a "last lecture" given by a professor who was diagnosed to have  pancreatic cancer and could live lonly 6 months more.  Then, I went to you-tube and watched it ...  This professer faced death bravely and positively.  He treasured his time very much to creat precious and happy memories to himself and others, especially his wife and three children.  He also encourage people to work out their dreams in their life, so that their life could be more meaningful and fruitful.  ... He was died on 25 July, 2008.

How time flies!  Everybody have to face the end of life, but nobody know when this date will come.  This professor knew more about it since he got cancer!... How about me? ... I don't know how long I'll have, but I know my dear Lord should guide me to treasure every moment in my life, so that I can have life and "have it abundantly." (John 10:10b)

May God grant me much more  faith to trust in Him alway!
