I read this from Psalm 138:2 this morning. And yesterday in an opening video clip, Kent Hutcheson (a senior staff who played a major role in starting CCC ministry in Asia) said this:
“If you look at your feelings, you’ll want to give up. But if you look at the power of God’s word, you’ll have staying power!”

This seems to be somewhat of a theme so far in our time here at CSU. And I hope to reflect his more in my next couple blog entries to encoruage those of you who read this…

Just to get people up to speed. Yep, we’re in Colorado.. have been here since Tuesday (US time) It’s taking us a while to get over jet-lag (people say sometimes it takes a good 5-7 days to fully adjust). Our kids are having the hardest time, which has made it very challenging for us, cos’ they knock out anytime during the day, and we have to carry them, drag them around various activities etc.

It’s been also rather hectic schedule. (The main conference started yesterday) But it’s also been ‘powerpacked’. I felt every session was prepared by God to speak and minister to my heart. I’ll share more soon… but suffice to say that it’s God keeping his promise to us. (And to think that I was feeling rather ‘sian’ the 1st few days here, not really wanting to be here…tired with caring for the kids, coping with the hot & dry weather, dealing with my own poor attitude, etc. etc)

1 key thing you can pray for Lil and me. That God would grow and cultivate in us a thankful heart. A heart of thanksgiving is one that reflects a spirit-filled life, and we desire for that. Thanks…
