I have tried to go to Church here, but since it is all in Chinese, it makes it really hard to get anything out of it. Thus, this is how my Sunday Morning is usually spent...
Waking up and thinking about this next week
Thanking God for another beautiful day, my great friends, the Children that I have met, and those who are at home
Getting out the most precious Book ever written and reading a chapter or two (usually a Psalm and a chapter from the place where I am at)
Reading today's devotional from Morning by Morning (by Charles H. Spurgeon)
Get ready for the day while chatting with people (from back at home) over Gmail
Fully awake and ready to go, I put my notebook, journal, and Bible in my bag and head out to the soup place
- Order "my soup" and get writing. Currently I am trying to catch up on what my fellow Bible Quizzers are working on (Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon)
Get back and rest

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for NOTHING!"
-Galatians 2:20-21
Hi Camille!
ReplyDeleteI can understand how it is to attend a church service in a foreign language!:-) Our family has gone through a similar experience over here. One church we went to was 80-90% Tagalog and only the outline was in English. Yet, it's amazing how much God can still teach us with only the outline of a sermon!
Love & Prayers!

Amen! to the ending Bible verse.

That sounds pleasant and relaxing. And you get more from it than going and listening to Chinese. Thank you for the invite, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to comment or not. Pray for you every day.
ReplyDeleteCamille! Just want you to know that I am thinking of you and praying for you right now... I love you dear and am so excited about all that the Lord is doing! It is great to get updates on all that is happening for you. Keep looking to Jesus and allowing Him to be your All-in-All - and very BEST Friend! As you continue to do this, I know that He is powerfully using you in a way that we will not be able to fathom until eternity! You are a precious little sis. How I miss you! But, I would not have you anywhere but in the Lord's will. :) I am sending you lots of hugs. MUCH love as your big sis in Jesus, Amy Vest :) 1 Cor. 2:9, Ps. 118:17
