TRANSIT TO BALI

Writing this from airport in Taipei where I am waiting my plane to Bali. I never thought I would have this kind of life, I like it!

Travel has been an adventure. My plane from Las Vegas was an hour and half late, putting me into San Francisco to catch my international flight only two hours before flight time. I had planned to check only one small bag, so I did not check it, meaning I did not have to wait to collect it, but went straight to the international terminal after landing. I was in plenty of time, and they even gave me a coupon for the business class lounge.

Daddy has given me business class travel for this trip and for the around the world trip coming up in March - July. It was nice, since the trip SFO to Taipei was 13.5 hours! I was able to sleep lots, get some reading and prayer caught up in comfort! I am so fortunate to have a rich daddy who provides so well for me!

Just finished 10 days with my grand daughter Maile (of course with daughter Kiana and son-in-law Brad too) and it was at the same time all too short and quite long enough. I am eager to get back to my friends in Indonesia!

We did all kinds of things together, including visiting Santa at the mall, a day trip to Boulder to ride the Santa train and take in all the Nevada Train Museum displays, shop, read stories and play, shop some more, play some more . . . well, you know how it is.
I am anticipating a good time in Bali with friends, plus I will spend a week fasting and focusing on the Lord, seeking direction for the coming year before returning to Surabaya and resuming a more nearly ‘normal’ life.

Hi hugh,,, you won't remember me, but anyway you came to my church early last year to preach.. ^^

It was Abbalove Ministries in jakarta. You were telling the Youth Ministry about the best way to evangelize or reaching out is to serve, more to 'how can i serve' than 'you have to change'. and about the freedom to reject christ so they can have the freedom to choose Christ...



It's been a year since that time, and now i'm in Singapore for university. i just want to tell you the seeds you plant in me personally has really help me a lot. It arouse my passion to love people. I am so motivated to shine for God wherever i am, be the light and serve everyone with abundant love God has given me. Oh, and you were telling us not to be afraid of being really religious. to be honest sometimes i just follow the current, when i can see no Godliness in school i cease to become Godly. It really is refreshing to look to my old notes and find the message you shared scribbled in it again.. So i thought i might look for you online to thank you.. ^^



I'd like to also encourage you to keep on doing what you're doing right now and i'll be praying for your spiritual growth and for your serving to be more and more fruitful. I'm really blessed by your serving, though i only met you once. The seeds u planted lasts. Oh, and btw i clearly remember i was blessed by your prayer (you prayed for the youth one by one) and also smile. Sounds weird, but really i was blessed by your smile, it shines love. You shine the tender love of Jesus somehow.. ^^ Wish i can meet you again someday.



Lots of thank yous,,

God bless you..



Love,

Cecilia.
ps: cant email yout o the email in WWJ website, so i contact you here ^^
