this morning i was on my way to work, and it was sprinkling lightly, which emphasized the quietness and tranquility of the early hours. however, what was even more impressive was that there were two rainbows...not just fragments, but two entire arcs...absolutely stunning! i couldn't take my eyes off of them, and i was reminded of God's promise to us, His eternal, unchanging commitment of grace and mercy.

life application of the week: consecration as part of our daily worship to Him
At the foot of the cross where grace and suffering meet
You have shown me Your love through the judgment You received
And You've won my heart, yes You've won my heart
Now I can
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down at the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross where I am made complete
You have given me life through the death You bore for me
I'm laying every burden down, I'm laying every burden down

one week later, i remain thankful about the jobs God has currently assigned to me, and am optimistic about adapting even more to the environment and workload in the months ahead. it certainly makes a difference, being in such a professional, large-scale atmosphere, and learning to be self-taught and quick on your feet. mostly what i do now isn't directly related to what i studied in post-sec, but i'm happy for the chance to be productive, using my hours fully, and being challenged in the process.
youth and church overall are experiencing a recent boom, with the addition of new families (that are NOT currently members of other churches), which is an exciting answer to a long-time prayer item, as is the reorganization of our fellowship structure and goals by an emerging leadership. may Christ's light shine through His kingdom here on earth, ever bringing more to Him.
highlights: week of august 28-september 3
"no red wine for you", black dresses, learner's permit discussion and a pink beauty (25th wedding anniversary dinner)
"team CURRY", jujubes, "Gabriella" and "Terence" (first fellowship of the new year)
wagon pulling, handball, sunglasses twins, "Mui Jeu", oversized beach balls, "A" english names and penny tans (church outing)
garlic dinner with Margo
"sticker" pics and imitation (dimsumming with old and new friends)
Lego house building, Chinese checkers, bike riding, HK-style BBQ, Mouse Trap, "Shanghai Knights" (evening with the Shams and Leungs)
