reminiscence of the days with Grace

July 26 2006
Grace will be heading for Norway in a couple of weeks,and will stay there for 2 years.


Knowing her is on the day of Easter Day in 1998 when i brought Flight to Zhongzhou, so in other words, i got the two influential people in my life on the same day,even though Flight has gone now, for which i could not have the encouragement yet to write about him, though, he, my torchbearer in my mind forever.anyway, she then asked Flight to initiate an English Bible Study in the church, and was agreed by Flight, a devotive missionary.

Our English Bible Study Group has gone through a lot, bitterness, sweetness,together with different kinds of people with all kinds of problems, and Grace has been standing there to invole every staff. and i saw Grace has never been tired of anyone or anything. with patience, she listens to everyone's troubles, and tries her best to pray for them and encourage them.


The days with sunshine in our EBG,though, coupled with some of the unpleasant things and unpleasant people, which i don't want mention here. but anyway, there R some dark days then, fornutely, united by the tie of Love in LORD, we have never been scattered from the time it was estabished, except some of the days break happening.

Recollecting the days with her, i must say, has been a great blessing for me, of course blessing for many others, though. many disscussions and instructions and encouragements help me to look at life in a way that i could not even magine before. that's a way of total sumission to God. one thing interesting is that she never blames me when i was ****** some complaints and in a fulminic way, she never stops me but then i myself will realize that faults. sometimes she did criticize me, but always at the time accetably.

The days with her, however, also includes some unpleasant time when i saw her weakness. of course, that makes me come to senses then to know she is only a human, not a god. but God's timing is perfect, cause that is the time when i could bear that and makes me grow up with another sister.  she has been terribly weak and sad at a time. anyway, it is so hard to organize all the staff into an essay, though, i may like to do it later, since she is an influential person.
