Presentation to Student Group

Today, I took a "work order" from my boss to help her deliver a presentation to a group of students visiting our company. They are all final year Marketing major students. About 40 of them.

I spent the whole morning preparing for the presentation. As I was working on it, I prayed quietly in my heart that I did want to share some useful things with them. I didn't want to just deliver a presentation. I hoped that they could really take something away and be blessed.

As I walked into the room, they were just having a short break. When I was setting up my presentation I prayed for them quietly to our Lord, to bless them.

All went well. Just 2 questions raised during Q&A, and the lecturer said "oh, they're so shy. They would probably ask you questions during lunch!" So lunch together we went.

I was so absent-minded that I didn't see the placard with my name on the first table so I took a seat on the last table. After I took the first plate of food back to my seat, I prayed, and about to start to eat. Then the first question came from the young gentleman sitting opposite:

"Grace, do you see any conflict of your religion and your work? I see that you are a Christian. How do you see living out one's faith in work environment? You know, I'm a Christian too so I asked."

I believe there were at least 5-10 seconds that I didn't know how to react, but staring at him blankly. Would you expect such a question at all? I CERTAINLY DIDN'T! And I just can't tell you how amazed I was when I heard about this.

So after the initial shock, I got the opportunity to share how I led a Christian life at work - and how indeed it is just THE way! And we even got the opportunity to talk about CCF and the Alpha Course in CX, too. And I'm really glad that I could share with them the truth that God does have a great plan for each and every single one of us, and to encourage them to find that calling and passion in their life.

Oh my Lord, how amazing you are. How amazing you are. When our hearts turn to you and that we do things for you, you then give us the opportunity to testify for you and give glory to you. Oh my dear Lord, you are just amazing!

Praise our Lord!

我的底線

之前 Wesley 有一篇 blog 講到他與神立定的底線，我不期然想，我與神的底線又是甚麼呢？

我想，對我而言最最要緊的底線，是我的心怎麼想，怎麼相信：

• 無論怎樣，我都知道這個神是真的，因為我已經經歷過祂的真實；
• 無論怎樣，我都知道這個神是最愛我們的，祂只會給我們最好的，縱然有時候我可能不明白為甚麼事情要這樣發生。

箴言 4:23 你要保守你心，勝過保守一切，因為一生的果效是由心發出。

My Prayer for HKIR 2006

My dear Lord,

After the fun-filled Gala Party, I now need to start work on the HKIR. It’s really difficult for me as I think gambling is something you don’t like, and so I don’t wanna promote it. But I don’t know how to do it as I know I can’t escape from this project, either.

Lord, thanks so much for your revelation last night – that I really can’t do it! Just on myself there is no way I can change it or turn it around. I just can’t do anything about it.

But with YOU, we can do ANYTHING! Lord, you can do anything, including turning this HKIR thing into a blessing instead of it being used by the devil to capture people’s lives and soul.

Lord, I serve you. I know you are the only one I serve when I work on this project or in fact, any other project that I work on. Lord, in Jesus Christ’s name I proclaim this CXHKIR event is YOUR event, YOUR name to be glorified, that people will find YOU and see YOU thru this event, instead of being captured by this world.

And Lord, with the strength and wisdom that you give me and the fact that you work with me together for this cause, this event in fact turn people AWAY from gambling, AWAY from the lost world, but to find YOU. Lord, in you this event should turn into a great success, NOT by bringing in more people or more money to the race, but bringing people to YOU.

Lord, I don’t know how it can be done. I have no clue at all how to do it! But this is the heart that I lay in front of you. This is the only reason for which I can work on this campaign. Lord, but just in case it’s just my wishful thinking and indeed you want me to have nothing to do with it, please, please let me know. Please let me know what’s your will, so I can adjust my life to you.

Lord, thank you. Because you have always prepared way out for us, and that in You, we can live this abundant life.

Thank you Lord. Thank you.

In name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Amen.
