church-less easter

Exodus 3:14
14And God said to Moses, "I am who I am."…

a space that only God can fill. 

and He is everything that we need. what do i need? i need a passion, i need a love of my life. 
it's been many years since i have a churchless easter. 

by right.. 
it is a great thing in the year. a great reminder about WHY am i here. that i have a debt. that i have a debt that has to be paid forward. but this GOOD news has to be accompanied by GREAT JOY. 

only a gospel preached with conviction and joy is able to heal and make one whole. 

you dun get to be loved until you start loving.. 



i start to think bout my days in shanghai hengshan church. miss the afternoons that i have travelled alone all the way to hengshan jus for a church service. knowing that my God is waiting for me to hear from Him. knowing that there are children waiting to hear from Him thru me. as i was teaching and watching the children running around, felt that the church is such a sheltered place from the outside world. and the little children are so fortunate. in fact, i felt like a little child in the church... sheltered.

i still remember the feeling of stepping out of the church and right outside the church is a busy chinese bustling street. if you have watch wongfeihong movie, it's that kind of feeling. stepping out of the ANGMO embassy and into the streets of china. suddenly, you see and feel that difference. the tranquil disrupted by the car engines and horning. 

back to what God said to Moses.... i must remember that He is Whoever i need. and i know He is a lover of me and my soul. He cares about me and I am not alone. tmr is a new week and He wants to go move on so that He will show me the way that He is prepared for me. 
Fret not. Fear not.
