Hong Kong Central Library

It is stunning, terrifying, ... and amazing ... that this library is always so busy - whether it is Sunday, Monday ... I am just looking for a seat/table to work from my laptop - but after over 15 mins of walking around and around, I have to admit that as many other places in Hk, you have to wait patiently. And be prepared for bizarre instances like what this elderly behind me just did ... she literally dashed from the open area to the seat behind me just to get the seat when the one who is occupying was done with his reading, and she was carrying with her whole chunk of newspaper and a bag etc ... and she made a big bang when she landed on the seat with a great speed. And she immediately start flipping the newspaper! She must know some kind of kung fu ... Surprisingly nobody seems to be disturbed ...

I am sure after couple days in this library I won't be writing story like this - who is going to be surprised when this is something so common here ...

Their hearts beat for God ...

While I am writing this, I am actually sitting in the training room in CBC (the last training session before we head off to China), listening to Bosco's sharing about his (and his wife) decision to quit his job in MS and move to HK - a response to God's calling to serve the underprivileged in China. And it is snowing outside!!! Today is really special, first Judy shared about her love and support to her husband who is going to spend his christmas away from US and his family, and how she live by faith in little things ... a real woman, one who is constantly after God's heart.

Then one of the teammate came by and shared his struggles which are exactly what I am going through! I guess God is telling me hey you are not alone, you got company in this journey! (Maybe I grumble too much :=)) And he suggested that we should pray ...

Then comes a sister who brought up this wonderful idea that we should gather couple b/s and pray about our relationship w/ God, those who deserves love, China, the good news ... oh she is suggesting we pray EVERYDAY !!!!!!! Wow, God speaks so clear this time - I need to pray, and pray in Christ, with our heaven travelers - and I have no excuse to doubt His invitation ... so I am planning to gather all these prayer warriors!!

Then here comes Bosco - I heard of his story of turning from a tour guide to software engineer in MS. But what I don't know is how God had put him in the assistive tech group for a divine purpose - RM started here in MS by these two ppl (do you know they prayed almost everyday before work?) who respond to God's calling. And now he going on a new journey that is even more exciting than working in MS.
I am impressed by how much these people actually (yes, actually, 100%, action ... ) live by faith and by priority. Leave nothing for Jesus, give Him the number one priority in our lives ... "我們 既有 這 許多的見證人如同雲 彩圍箸我們…" as I am seeking God for what He is going to entrust to me in the near future, I will never forget how He showed me His faithfulness and His presence through all these touching and wonderful testimonies.

And I always like what PW says (in his poem) ... " Their hearts beat for God ... "
