It's amazing what a few birthday hats, some Winnie the Pooh party horns, and some yummy Szechuan food will do to make a birthday party really special.
(See the birthday boy on the far left!)
I am more than blessed to be a part of the lives in these pictures- I am confident that none of us are the same after knowing each other, and I am praying that this year in Hong Kong will be a year we will all never forget, because it shapes who we are and where we are going... We are all being transformed one day at a time...
------------------
No two days are the same here.
Everyday just about turns out differently than planned.
Tomorrow will be no exception... I experience day to day:
Many plans are in a man's mind,
but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand (Prov.19:21)
This is life in these days and this is life led by the Spirit,
who is not bound by our rules, schedules, or opinions...
He graciously meets us where we are,
and doesn't leave us unchanged.
(He actually doesn't leave, period.)
Hallelujah!
Accordingly God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath.
This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have
mighty indwelling strength and
strong encouragement
to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us].
(Hebrews 6:17-18)
HE is trustworthy. HE is our constant, in this ever-changing, fast-moving, mind-blowing, dynamic beautiful story that always points back to HIM...
GLORY.
