The past few weeks have been really busy for me - with teaching in the morning and sometimes afternoon, shopping for Chinese New Year goodies, clothes, curtains & stuff and preparation for GNK Bible lessons....on top of cooking and washing and other chores...... Sometimes I wondered how I could have the energy and time to do all that I needed to do.

It was especially stressful on Chinese New Year's Eve when I had to cook a few dishes for the reunion dinner. That week I was so busy buying things, doing spring cleaning that I had little time to really think through my lesson on Sunday. But God is faithful. When I looked to Him for strength and grace, He never fails to help me. Each time when I totally depend on Him, I can sense His leading in guiding me to use appropriate object lessons and even putting in my heart a closing song after each lesson. It's awesome...

Somehow as I shared with the children such serious topics like the Holy Spirit, the Church, water baptism and holy communion, I could feel His love and desire to reach out to the children in a special way. At times during the preparation, I could feel tears well up in my eyes as I recalled how the Lord touched Cheryl in the past. It was a real challenge to me to bring the message across and at the same time great joy to see the children filled in the Holy Spirit and have the desire to be baptised in water. Only God alone can do such an amazing work in their lives.
