no.257 140112 Thank you for my discipleship leader's thoughtfulness

Thank you for the book!
I got a surprise present today! I received a book from my discipleship class leader. It's called "The Meaning of Marriage" by Timothy Keller. I've been meaning to pick up a copy at my church bookstore but when I actually had the chance to check it out, the book was sold out.

It was so thoughtful of my discipleship leader to think about me and how I wanted to read this book! I remember her standing next to me that day when I was browsing the book shelf. She asked me which book I was looking for and I had told her the title. I guess she kept it mind of me until now. I'm thankful to receive such a wonderful present! It was so unexpected and therefore it made me extra happy! I guess I love not only giving but also receiving. Hmm.. actually, who doesn't love receiving gifts? Right?

Other than that, I have a couple of things to be thankful for this Sunday. First of all, I'm so grateful that the preschool ministry was much better today. We can still use some improvements here and there, but it was a lot smoother than last week. Thank God for listening to our prayers and giving us wisdom and patience to get through this time of change!

Another thing is when we sang "Sing, sing, sing" during the worship time. Whenever the songs my team and I sang in Mexico are played during worship, it brings me all the memories from my mission trip. There is this unspeakable joy in me when I praise God through these songs! I wonder where God will send me this year. Could it be Mexico again? Or somewhere else? Perhaps I'm not going anywhere. Whether I go or stay, as long as I am at the place where God wants me to be, that's all that matters! I pray that I be consistent with reading the living word of God and keep up with my prayer time with Him so I know where to go and what to do according to His perfect plan!
