Bits of pieces.

Today's post will be in pieces of this week's highlight. Sorry! Mind's kind of in pieces right now haha.

...

Funny stuff said by the church kids:
"So are you American??"
"... you're so pretty..." (while looking at me while I was washing my hands in the bathroom)

Multi-faces.

How great is our God.

Last Saturday night, I went to a mission conference night at Wu Cun Church (Practically a Taiwan version of Willow Creek) and we sang that song, How great is our God. In 5 different languages.

The different mission teams connected to this church
As I looked around while those words echoed throughout the sanctuary, I finally saw how beautiful people are. I once heard a pastor say that the most beautiful creation of God's is people. All the people that you've walked by, lived with, talked with, laughed with, cried with. Tears came to my eyes as the Spirit filled me in an amazing way that I still cannot describe. This. is what Heaven must be like. 
Joy. 
God created ethnicity, race, identity but what's amazing that under His precious cross and blood, we become one.
Family. 
What other God in this world can create such a beautiful sight but Him?


...

Reunion. 

In the year of 2009, my very first trip to Taiwan, I made a friend. Then for past three years, we kept in touch through handwritten letters and sometimes MSN, some emails here and there but it was always a letter a month. We finally met up this Saturday and it was so interesting to see the actual person behind all those words.

Phillip! (:
Throughout these three years, when I couldn't sleep at night, I would write to him sometimes. When I missed Taiwan, I wrote to him. When I had guy problems (har har har... yes) I sometimes wrote to him too. I knew probably 90% of my letters he couldn't understand since they were in English, but just knowing you had a friend who was willing to keep up with this pen-pal system for three years felt... indescribable.
Friendships are just another way of God taking care of you.

SCHOOL!!!!

I started school on Monday!! And I have to say, I love it.

New friend (:
There are only four of us but I'd rather have a small class than a big one. More opportunity to know each other, right? (:
