I Saw Jesus!

Monday, April 13th, 2009 by Lily

“I saw Jesus! I was on a mountain, and there were flowers… It was kind of fuzzy, but it was SO TRUE!” Our friend Vicky said this after we had a time of talking to her about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and talked to God with her to receive it. We [...]

Mmmm…Sitting On The Grass

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009 by Lily

Can you picture Chinese students sitting outside in a circle, singing songs to Father, sharing in communion, discussing the Bible and talking to Father? I’m going to see that tomorrow! We are starting not our first, but our second fellowship in the area where we’re working! God is good!
We started our first one [...]

Well, This was Unexpected!

Friday, March 13th, 2009 by Lily

I knew that following Father could take me anywhere. Far-off lands, remote villages and massive metropolises…I wasn’t expecting it would bring me to a pay-by-the-hour hotel, though! Don’t worry! I’ll explain.
As you know, we were doing an intense training session recently. Thank-you for praying! It went amazingly well, and we [...]

Short and Important!

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 by Lily

Hey, everyone! This isn’t a whole blog, but just a quick little update to keep you informed and praying. This weekend we’re going to do an intense training session for friends that have come into the family. The teachings will include water baptism, baptizing in the Holy Spirit, the “Big Plan” and [...]

Put In My Place!

Sunday, March 1st, 2009 by Lily

I could scarcely believe what my ears were hearing! This humble little Chinese girl (who just turned 17), was telling Knight and I about her life as a follower of God. Her name is Grace, and grace she has received. She has been yelled at by her parents, and parents of friends, [...]

Ow!

Saturday, February 7th, 2009 by Lily

I gasped as I rolled off my hip, taken aback by the pain. As my breath rose in frozen clouds above my head, I thought about the last few days that Sonata and I had spent in this place. Our friend, (and new family member) Joy, had invited us to spend the Spring [...]

Happy New Year!

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 by Lily

I sat in a Chinese restaurant, singing Cantonese songs I didn’t know, surrounded by over 20 Chinese family members. It was the best New Year’s Eve I’ve ever had!!! For New Year’s this year, we gathered together many of our friends that had come into the family since September, to talk to them [...]

“It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year…”

Saturday, December 20th, 2008 by Lily

Last weekend found me standing on my living room TV stand, talking to over 30 Chinese girls crammed into my very small apartment! Sonata and I were doing a rather last-minute Christmas party. We had been planning on doing a party, but with all the busyness of the week before, we had forgotten to [...]

Normal

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 by Lily

Ever wonder what my life is like? I must confess that since this is my second year in Asia, fewer things are striking me as strange anymore! My view of ‘normal’ is changing! Here, let me give you a few examples of what I mean.
Here in Asia, it’s normal for me to [...]

Triplets!

Saturday, November 29th, 2008 by Lily

This past Sunday, we just had 3 girls come into the family! We had known Kelly for 2 weeks, Lynn for 3 days, and we had just met Fancy that afternoon. Now, they’re my sisters! We were at our Bible study, and the topic was thankfulness, in honor of American Thanksgiving. [...]
