it seems so unfair. that you meet such a wonderful group of people, and have 24 hours of awesomeness, only to realize that you're probably never going to see them ever again after you leave. wow. how sad that is. . . . . . .. i like markham. i think i shall go back sometime soon :) maybe i will see them again then.

i love kcac.
i think if i leave here, i'll be most sad about leaving this church.
in all honesty, if i had never gotten to know the chinese side, i wouldn't have felt at HOME as i feel now with this church. it's crazy. how do all those aunties and uncles remember our names? ... but ya, tonight we had dumpling night. and wow. it was amazing. seeing SOOO Many people come out, but not only that, seeing so many new faces! what a great way to reach out to co-workers, friends, even students. i felt sad.. really really sad that there were only 2 people from the english congregation who came out. we truly did miss out on an amazing night. a night where i felt part of a family. you step in and the aroma of good food hits you ! then when you head downstairs, so many friendly faces, so many warm handshakes and hugs :) i love kcac.

praise god :)
i just wanted to jot down a few praise items so i won't forget in the future how God is working in my life :)
firstly, last week was crazy busy for me. ... well in retrospect, definitely not as crazy as i thought it was while in the midst of things. but God gave me 2 huge breaks. first by cancelling work on wednesday... crazy timing that my co-workers at the last minute cancelled the meeting eh? well maybe not so much craziness as WOW-NESS for God's mercy for me :) THEN, when i stepped outside on wednesday (keep in mind that during this day there was a crazy crazy snowstorm with wind blowing at who knows how fast and so much snow that you really couldn't see what was in front of you!) anyways, THAT was the day of wednesday, but when i stepped outside, i dunno how, but it was absolutely beautiful at that moment! the sun was shining so brilliantly, the snow was floating by my face , the wind was still... it was breathtaking.
then on Sunday. we had no a/v person to help out with things. in addition, setting up sound was ESPECIALLY SLOW cuz of the EM the day before, and to add, our drummer fell sick that morning! But lo and behold, God was faithful in hearing our prayers! He provided both a drummer & an a/v person .... and it was just so wonderful worshipping our God through songs and praise. My team is so awesome in that although i'm their 'worship leader' ... really they're a self-run team. I wish ppl in our congregation could see what i see when i'm up there. to see a whole body worship our God together ... it's just so amazing. i picture the sweet fragrant of songs of praise and worship being raised up to the heavens by each and every church in this world.. How beautiful it would be from God's viewpoint in heaven eh? to hear , smell, take in, and be glorified through all the fragrances rising up to the heavens, joining and combining as one to form the most sweetest , most beautiful fragrant of all!
Lastly, I thank God for today. after prayer meeting, i read for a bit, then fell asleep.. only to wake up to a girl walking in hoping to pray. i offered to pray with her... and i dunno how , but it was AMAZING! just being able to share with her, to pray with her, to have fellowship with her no matter which campus christian group she came from! it really taught me something special about the unity within the Body. the fact that it truly is Christ who ties all of us together, and honestly that is the only lifeline that is needed :) how wonderful to be able to have a time of fellowship not with just a complete ' stranger' .. but rather with a sister in Christ :)
Praise be to God for all these things! He's constantly working, constantly moving, and constantly answering prayers! I'm excited to see what new things He will be doing throughout this next week :)
