I went to Vancouver, home sweet home, on December 20th. But before I went on to the airplane, I found one of my shoes is broken. The pair of shoes is from Clark and I had it for at least four years now. It is one of my favorite pair because it is good for both skirts and pants. It's a pity that the only broken area is the inner seamline of right shoes. There is no way to repair this shoe either. I was worried that I couldn't make it home. I didn't plan to purchase a new pair of shoes early. The only other pair of shoes I have is high heel. It's impossible to wear the high heel every time I go out. The good thing is at least I have a pair of hiking boots left at home. Now just wait for boxing day to get a new pair.
I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0109. Study Notes - 20061212
(This is notes jogged down during Bible Study at ShiLin Zion Church, Tuesday Dec 12th of 2006.)
- I shouldn't live like a begger when I am a son of God. God's characters and Power are on me and I can overcome my weakness!
- Only myself can make myself unhappy.
- Believe I have then I have. (Mark 11:24)
- Prayer is not for asking God to give. It is for us to understand that God wants to give us and we just need to stretch out our hands to take or receive.

0108. Hospital visitations
Today, I went to see two elderly people with three sisters. The first one we visit was Stella's grandfather. Her grandpa is lying on the bed and unable to talk. Stella feared that her grandpa would pass away without knowing Christ at all. While we were there, we sang and talked to the old man. Because its closer to Christmas, we sang a song named "a present" to him in the middle. I thought he was touched by it because I saw tears. We are not sure how he felt and thought. But it touched me that he understood. Later, one of the sister said that my singing was like an angel and my prayer voice was soft and nice. Honestly, I don't know how to response to that. But thank God for the gifts of voice.
Then, we went to see grandmother of a sister. We had to speak Taiwaness, which I am not good at. She was tired when we got there. But before we left, she had smile on her face. And we all were happy because we had good time with her. She knows she is a child of God. That was wonderful. What a difference between two people we visited. One is full of hope and the other is not. I am glad that I am at hopeful side. Lastly, we all thought grandma is so wonderful. I am kind of scare to be with my own grandmother. Am I jealous? I don't know. But I do know I prefer to be a wonderful person when I grow old.
