it doesnt take a mission trip to be exposed to people who are equally as helpless but having a longing to learn God's Word- forget the reason, i came to BPGC in 2002 with Donovan David to improve my chinese, especially for DD. Helpless they are, confidence/ self-esteem battered, hopelessness, submission to their position in the doldrums of life- almost every aspect of it. I heard 'useless', with so much emotions, the voice choking to hold back the tears. How to relieve the plight, restore the innate confidence. i dun wanna be sympathetic, i wana be encouraging.

so true the song: ba3 leng3 mo4 bian4 cheng2 ai4
every single phrase of it is so real.

thank God for reminding me that i need only to please Him, too many times i am spurred on by results, which means its very discouraging when results arent desirable, but God looks at the effort, i just need to learn how to place my trust in God, by His grace alone He will deliver.

Galisten Ave was beautiful today. Glittering stars were sprayed across the sky, and under the watchful eyes of the moon, there i was, marvelling at God's creation, and noticing how the signboard of the church causes the church to be so prominent, like lighthouses which beams in the darkness.

under the mist shrouded night sky,
i gazed into Your loveliness

What a friend i have in Jesus
