Celebrations

Oops.. my bad.. I have two entries that are out-of-order. This will bother me for days on end. That's what happens when you start posting about the past. Don't worry.. I'll get to the present .. someday!


I have to comment on the baptisms though. My Auntie is the first in that generation who accepted the Lord as her personal Savior. That is huge for my family. All my siblings, their spouses and children all are believers. But not my parents nor their siblings and spouses. My husband's parents, siblings, and most aunts, uncles and cousins all know the Lord. So my side is lagging. This was my recently widowed Auntie who's husband (my dad's younger brother) died of pancreatic cancer two years ago. She's had a tough time since then and we thank God that she has a mighty God to give her peace, hope and a future. Both my Auntie and godson gave their testimonies before they were baptized. It's interesting to compare the two. Her's was 4-1/2 minutes long detailing her 50+ years of seeking for peace and true happiness while Kyle's was under a minute detailing his walk with God pretty much since he could talk during his 13 years of life. I am always so encouraged to hear those who are older who decide to dedicate their lives to God. No one made them do it and they go through many struggles in life to finally get to this revelation. It just goes to show you that you can have Jesus in your life at any age in your life. The sooner the better though since you want to relish in His goodness for you earlier then later. Overall, the important part is that you have eternal life with Him.

Just a quick visual update of the girls before the year ends..
 Emily celebrated her 10th birthday at The Tech Museum of Innovation
On Halloween they were a good witch and bride
On Heritage Day, a very important day to honor and celebrate our heritage and grandparents, Emily did a presentation in class on her heritage; she interviewed Popo & Goong Goong (my parents) for this report and shared pictures from our China trip;
... and at the Chapel Presentation each student read a verse from Psalm 100 in their native language;
with help from Yeh Yeh and Mah Mah (my husband's parents) she read Psalm 100:1 in Cantonese..
...while Hannah's class presented the Thanksgiving story about the Pilgrims and Indians
... at the end of the Chapel all the grandparents were invited up to the stage to be prayed over by their grandchildren and our CCS Pastor Rich Hong; (the girls and Goong Goong/Popo are on the far left)


 Hannah celebrated her 7th birthday at Build-A-Bear


On Sunday, we celebrated two baptisms.. the first was my Auntie T. (which was a miracle-PTL) at her church, SVAC...

.... and our godson., Kyle's at CCC.
Praise God for all of His goodness in our lives!!
