Four of us went to church

Today, the four of us went to church together.

It's the first time I went to church in 2 months time. We were a bit late. By the time we arrived, worship was more than half way through already and we were just there for the last 3 songs.

But God was so kind to me (as always). As soon as I settled down and concentrated on the worship, I felt very touched in the spirit. Tears started streaming down my face and for the first time in many months I prayed in tongues again, to praise and worship our Lord. Those were not the very touchy or emotional worship songs. And my tears did not fall because of sadness or joy. I just felt overwhelmed in the spirit. I felt so moved to worship our Lord. I felt so close to Him in the spirit. It seemed that He just reassured me that I have been staying close to Him all along in the past few weeks though we weren't able to attend Sunday service. And once we were back, He in me, resonated in great joy.

I am just so thankful and it's so good to be back, to be able to worship our Lord.

And it's good to be back to see other brothers and sisters as well. Though we were back only briefly (we were late and we left early), we still received lots of blessings and love from brothers and sisters around us. And they were so passionate with the 2 kids and taking them away for most of the time, giving me and Wesley the opportunity to truly immerse ourselves and enjoyed the worship. Hope that we could be back 'full time' very soon.

Prayer Partner

Gela shared exactly the same thought that I had in her post!

Jesus is so wonderful! He has done such similar things in our lives!

I really need to confess and repent for that "laziness" to start our prayer partner life, though God has reminded me for a few times. But it's so wonderful once we got started! What can I say?! We human being are just so stupid that though God has prepared great gift for us all along, we just keep delaying in claiming or receiving that great gift from Him! It's true for Christians or non-Christians alike. We really need to tackle our own fleshy mind and laziness better!

Just need to pray to God that we'll keep it up. Such blessings! Thanks Lord!

Harp & Bowl

Tonight the prayer meeting at my church was a "Harp & Bowl" meeting. Praise the Lord. His presence was so strong. I was blessed the moment I walked in the door:

Brothers and sisters were then using these verses to bless one another:

And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
Luk 1:46 - 48

馬利亞說：我心尊主為大；我靈以神我的救主為樂；因為他顧念他使女的卑微；從今以後，萬代要稱我有福。

That was already really, really good. But then Pastor Helen also blessed us with this additional verse:

And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.
Luk 1:45

這相信的女子是有福的！因為主對他所說的話都要應驗。

Oh I was so touched! I knew the Lord was talking to me I knew the Lord is talking to me.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Thank you for loving me so and blessing me so.

Praise the Lord!
