A Limitless God: Using Mickey

         

              On September 19^th I had an experience that I never in my wildest dreams thought I would have in Hong Kong…..I got to go to Disneyland! For one I didn’t even know Hong Kong had a Disneyland or the God can use Disneyland to spiritual revitalize someone. I’m repeatedly learning not to limit the Lord.

            A few days before the 19^th our Internship Mentor told Emily and I, she had gotten us free tickets to go to Disneyland.  Who can say no to free Disneyland tickets? The day before we went I was so stressed with work I didn't know if I would go, but being the good friend she is Emily told me I was going. That morning as I walked into the theme park, seeing friendly Disney Characters whom I had grown up with produced an overwhelming sense of joy and peace that I hadn’t realized was missing.

            That day I flew with Dumbo, waved at Buzzlight Year, climbed Tarzan’s tree house, floated through ‘it is a small world,’ sang with the High School Musical, and sat in awe as my favorite characters paraded across the stage. Walking out of the glistening park, I felt my cultural stress and internal frustrations replaced with calmness. Having the opportunity to step outside my normal schedule made me recognize that my focus had been on the lack of control in my life, instead of the total control that God provides. Most of us do not realize how caught we are in the net of life’s woes until we step back and gain perspective. Thank you Lord for using whatever means possible to reach me, even a smiling mouse.

 

General Update:

1. Sing Along- The Pooi To girls love to sing so many will come up to our room after school and we will all sing praise and worship songs together. If you have not sat down recently and just sang some of your favorite worship songs I recommend it.

2. Please pray for Swatow Baptist Church in Kowloon City as they celebrate their 70^th anniversary- may it be a time of thanksgiving and opportunity to share the love of the Lord with others.

3. On Tuesday, I experienced my first Typhoon with lots of wind and heavy rain; plus the school shut down on Wednesday so we had a ‘Typhoon day or ‘Snow Day’ as we like to call them in the States. Though our area was not hit hard at all, please pray for the individuals who have flooding or damaged homes.

 

Thank you for your prayers of support!
