Prayer
"Dear God, my friends are in trouble.
I lift their hearts up to Your hands.
Please hold them and never let go.
Please protect them when they cannot themselves.
Please talk to them so loud that they have to hear you.
Please give them the courage to follow you.
Lord You have shown me Your love and given me Your grace.
Please pour You heart to them as You've to me.
Lord please give me the heart to understand and be a good sister in Christ.
Please give me the wisdom and be a flowing channel of your love.
I pray all these in Jesus name,
Amen."

Parents away on a Mission
I never talk about this, although I do ask for prayers once in a while.
When my parents were still working and I was still in school, every time we met with missionaries & their kids I felt like they were all the way out in Mars. It seemed like they didn't live life like we did. Sometimes my parents would tell me about very young kids being left at boarding school while their parents were gone out to "field". Those boarding schools were only for these missionary's kids. Obviously the kids there were all so well behaved. However I was never able to imagine myself in their shoes.
Since last summer they left for China to begin their 3 year mission term, I slowly started to realize what I was never able to see, what I had never understood.
Parents & kids of young or old live their lives in faith everyday to be missionary families. They have tasted God's love and truthfulness and they know God is true. God has the power to protect and He is always in control. All these give them the peacefulness in heart knowing God will look after them. However there is still a human side of fear that one day someone in the family might be taken away forever. This fear comes out sometimes late at night, sometimes during a car ride home.
God will never let us carry what is more than we can handle, and this fear is definitely something we can handle. This is the reason why we rarely talk about it, but it's still there, deep down in heart...
PS. Please pray for my parents safety in China

Mini Hotpot Stove
Look at this!!! Isn't it so very cute? Ron & I went for a stroll through the Korean supermarket since neither of us have to go to work tomorrow. As soon as we went in Ron saw this cutest thing. We even found the minature wok that fits perfectly with this mini stove. Just that we decided to buy this ceramic pot for now. It came in a nice case with handle. It's so small we can take it anywhere! When we got home we used it to make sweet soup right a way. It was great! Later Ron & I will have 2 people hotpot at home!
Going Strong
By now I think you can tell which are the peas and which are the brussels sprouts. I have 2 types of peas there, snow peas & green peas. One is growing double the speed as the other but I can't tell them apart anymore. Good that I only have peas in the whole barrel. I guess it doesn't matter even if their vines are twisted together...
