Hello!
Sometimes I am amazed at the family of God and how we show love to one another. Being so far from the familiar is hard, despite loving being in the center of God's plan for my life. We all need encouragement from time to time and I am so happy to say that God has definitely used my Hong Kong family to do that for me.
I am friends with several of the YWAM Hong Kong staff, both from last time I was here and new friends I have made over Christmas Outreach. Some are there to joke around with me and lift up my spirits, while others have been powerful prayer warriors to help me keep strong. Still others have taken friendship a step further to inviting me into their homes or out in Hong Kong for movie nights, dinner or chill time. I've eaten everything from McDonald's, Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese food. I've also been treated to frozen yogurt (those of you who know me know that is heaven is for me! Plus the frozen yogurt toppings are even better here, so, it is epic, than, you very much), Gelato (so, so, SO good) and finally had the honor of having real sushi!
These friends have heard my struggles and seen my tears, but also my joy and my laughter. I have a friend~supporter from my first Christmas Outreach that keeps in contact with me and it is always a blessing to hear from him or see the support, both in prayer and finances. I received a package after Christmas from the States and it I shrieked like a little kid on Christmas morning when I got it it. My reaction is the same when I get a post card or letter (those are more rare, I think I have two...three ish?).
Though many of these things may seem small to others, to me they blaze like the sun. It helps so much when you have that connection with people back home, and also here. God sends us encouragement and the people that we need at the right time in our lives and this post is just to give a shout out to all my peeps~ whether in Hong Kong or the USA. I love you guys! <3
