Encouragement

I love the sermon on "Encouragement" last Sunday. Me and Serena were just chatting and we both believe that through this, God is not only going to do a special work within our region, but on a bigger scale, the whole church.

I am really so encouraged everytime felice gives me her bright smile, xiaobudianer comes and plants her kisses on my cheeks, serena speaks into my life, grace speaks thruth in love and after all of it hugs me tight tight.. grace chan and joanne fu for their million dollar hugs..(you got to hug them if u never did before, u will know what i mean!) Carmen helps me rub my bruised shoulder, receiving christmas notes from xw, ces, reen jo wong and all the young women of God during christmas. I am thankful for every kind word spoken because it really make my day.. Even if u just tell me my shirt matches my jeans, i will be on cloud nine for the entire day!! When we speak encouragign words, we speak life into other lives... wow.. what great honor is that, to have the ability to speak life into others by just afirming them of what God has already done?

How wonderful it is to come into the Lord's house and just be encouraged everyweek?

But more so, when our friends would be drawn to us not only because of who we are, but because we exhibit God's likeness. Grace was sharing about grace.. encouragign words are really an extension of grace isnt it?

God, I thank you for Grace that I can freely receive and freely give. Bless all the beautiful young women and handsome men in my life.. May all of us just grow in grace, faith hope and love!

PS: And for the guys, I am greatly encouraged to see u guys hang out because of soccer.. that what i can healthy male bonding..in christ! I think we girls need to do something too.. like bake cookies? paint nails? hahha...
