My toddler niece carried her mom's phone to show me the kitchen on video call (I never saw it though). As she was walking she whispered to herself, "我的English不好," and it broke my heart. 

Father, hear my cry. 

I praise you, Lord, for being my guide.
Even in the darkest night,
Your teachings fill my mind.
I will always look to you, as you stand beside me and protect me from fear. With all my heart, I will celebrate, and I can safely rest.

Psalm 16: 7-9 

Took I on a tour last night

While I may not have resorted to violence myself, I believe that these protesters need to be heard. This is a fair account of the events as they took place.

New tastes

I'm definitely not sharing the chips. Maybe I should share the cookies because they're sweet. But what if I like them and don't want to share after all??

Decisions.

Hk style homey food

Thankful for friends AND their families.

It was only a week but I feel like I lived a different life.

Family trip

From -3 to 33

This year, again, God has answered prayers I didn't know how to pray.

Here's a prayer for next year, "Father, teach me to worship."

Maybe my mom needs new Christmas music.

Smart

My dad said that my grandmother rings this bell when she needs to get the helper's attention.

Death and life

I didn't know this until this year when my dad told me about the tree outside our house. It sheds its leaves once every two years and looks like it's about to die. But after a few days, it grows new leaves again.

This feels so much like our walk with the Holy Spirit. What often feels like a death could be the beginning of new life in us.

What are the chances?

Who knew this would be possible?

Memory

A memory from my sister's wedding suddenly popped into my head. Me and a couple of cousins from my mom's side were talking about how we have low blood pressure and can't stand up too quickly or we'll feel dizzy. My cousins who are older than me said that they no longer have this problem, and the guy cousin said: "It's because now fat already cannot stand up so fast."

I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair.

Dad jokes again

Weekend lessons

When traveling with my friend's sister, I couldn't help but notice how alike they are in the words they use, and in some of their mannerisms.

But I also noticed that they inherited a portion of their parents' spiritual gifts and blessings too. Their family has a spiritual heritage of generosity and of hospitality. God has blessed them materially, but they are also among the most generous people I've met.

As I was reflecting on this, I wondered if God gave my family a spiritual heritage too. A word came to my mind, and it was "Joy."

It may not always appear true yet, but I'm believing that God can redeem my family and use it to fulfill His purposes.

Because our God is more than able.

And that was when

My mom voted in the historic election.

I was in Germany when my ballot was mailed to Hong Kong.
