These past few days have been a test of my faith. Since Tuesday, I have been sick, and although most people get better every day, I'm steadily getting worse. My illness isn't just some common cold, it's a cold with a sore throat and asthma. We can call it CORTHMA in medical terms. So, my symptoms include an achy body, a sore throat, a cough, a runny nose, and the inability to breathe. Yikes!
All that being said, I think this is the Devil testing me. He's testing my faith. It's hard not to push those doubts out of my head: "What if I'm too sick to go" and "What if I get even worse there"? Although I can't say I'm well enough to go at this point (the night before), especially with the severity of my asthma, I will say that I'm trying to think positive thoughts and trust in God.
I'm not just the only one who is sick. There are quite a few of us who have come down with illness or are run-down and physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted. We are all doing the final preparations, and for most of us it is downright tiring.
Please pray for all of us as we prepare these last few hours.

so we're leaving tomorrow. i must admit, i have no butterflies in my stomach or anything like that, i'm actually a little bit confused as to why i'm not super excited...i suppose the last little while has been extremely hectic with the internship, organizing and running chinese camp, and friday nights as well as tweaking the lesson plans for the STM, there hasn't been a lot of time to pack, or even think too much. anywho, i really do look forward to the STM and i know God will work!

one week
It's exactly one week until departure.
How do I feel? I'm fine when I'm busy doing things, but when I sit down and pause for a while.. I feel tired. heavy. burdened. And I don't really know why. I feel lonely; I feel like my hearts constricting and I can't breathe.
The rain helps, a little. I'm waiting for air. I'm waiting for the breakthrough. I'm open, broken and I say, "God, fix me please."

A Family Once Unknown
It's amazing how one common goal can unite strangers.
When I first got together with my STM (Short Term's Mission) team, I considered them all strangers. Sure, we had grown up in the same church for years, but I rarely communicated with them. I was always in my own group, and they in theirs. So you can guess that when we got together for the first time to meet, I felt relatively shy amongst them.
Anyways, for the past few months, we've been meeting and sharing our spiritual growth, preparing the lessons, and organizing various fundraisers. Even though we had been meeting together for quite some time now, I still felt relatively uncomfortable around them.
That all changed last Sunday.
On Sunday, we held our fundraising dinner at Burnaby Alliance Church. We had been preparing for weeks, organizing guests, food, games, decor, and other important aspects. However, no one could expect just how much effort and time was needed until that actual day.
The day was extremely long. In just a few short hours, we had to put together an evening for over 100 people. It was crazy! We rushed to get organized by preparing the tables, the lighting, the games, the presentations, the organized help... etc. It was a tiring experience.
However, the one thing that amazed me was how quickly we banded together. Everybody worked together to get things done. Nobody argued or had anything negative to say. It was amazing how smoothly it went.
What's more, we became family.
Our team had never done anything together like this since we've started meeting. Putting together an evening dinner in such a short amount of time made us become one. We were united in our goal. We shared in laughter, in struggle, and in pleasure the entire night. We had, at times, some downs, yet though all the toils and troubles, and in my moments of stress, many of my team members unknowingly did something to help me feel better. A smile, a pat on the back, a shared joke, a word of encouragement; these are things that strangers don't usually do for each other.
For some reason after the dinner, I finally felt like these people, who had once been strangers to me, were my family. I began to see various individuals, not as "that person", but as someone who understands me and has the same goals as I. All the uncomfortable feelings were gone. They were my brothers and sisters in Christ. Our blood, tears, and sweat had been spilled.
Altogether, this summer has been extremely stressful, with my last semester of university, working 3-4 days a week, and on top of all that, the mission's trip itself. All that being said, I have come to realize one thing this week: not only do I have Christ as my rock, I have this team as well.
I am so happy to be working with this group of individuals. I couldn't ask for anybody better. They are, without a doubt, a family once unknown.

Happiness in the Dark
The other day I was having a conversation with a friend who had recently left my church. He said to me, "The church (Burnaby Alliance) is falling apart".
I thought he was right.
Recently, Burnaby Alliance (BAC) had been going through many changes. We got news that our youth pastor was leaving, and several long time members of our church had already done so weeks before. They were (and still are) all good friends of mine, so it was tough to see them go. It felt like a piece of me and the church was leaving.
I must admit, with the departure of these people, things had begun to feel hopeless, pointless, and despairing. For a while, I, like many people in the church, felt a sense of disbelief and sadness. Why would God bring such troubles to our doorstep?
For the past few weeks, I was feeling quite down the last little while because of all that had happened.
Until today.
We had a baptism this morning, and as I sat there watching all the young teens and children giving their testimonies, I realized something: God has not left us. My friend was wrong.
Indeed, we had and will continue to lose many important people in our church, but God continues to bring in new individuals and strong young leaders to take over. Moreover, even though we were going through hardships (and still are), God has not stopped working in our church and making changes for His glory. Finally, these troubles are when our faith is tested, and not only can and will this bring us as a church family together, it can, in the end, better us as a whole because of it. It is when a family is put to the test must they band together to find strength and comfort in each other.
Ultimately, prior to today I felt like BAC was in the darkness, as was I. However I realized that despite being in the darkness, so too can I find happiness and optimism, and it is only when I fix my eyes upon Christ do I see it.

Broken in Millions
Today im feeling broken
Lost and scared defined
With missing pieces hoping
Tomorrow I will find
All that I am seeking yearning to behold
Hanging on with all I am
Each step I take I’m losing
Just a little more of me
Darkness falls surrounding
Im blinded I won’t see
Must be something better must be something more
My heart my soul is crying
Time goes on seasons change
Through it all we're given
One million pieces of light
One million slivers of white
Sparkling all for you, falling all for you
One million rays of sunshine
One million colors so fine
Shining all for you, revealed all for you
Created just for you, created just for you
Ive waited here so long now
Forgotten what it means
To feel, to trust to know how
Mend cuts and hurts between
crying to be wanted aching to be grasped
longing for with all I have
Cant know what will shape through
Nor the number of my days
So here on in I’ll trust you
to show and guide my way
Finding faith in small things learning that in truth
All this beauty made for me
Time goes on seasons change
Through it all we're given
One million pieces of light
One million slivers of white
Sparkling all for you, falling all for youOne million rays of sunshine
One million colors so fineShining all for you, revealed all for you
Created just for you, created just for you
Created just for you, created just for you
Lost and scared defined
With missing pieces hoping
Tomorrow I will find
All that I am seeking yearning to behold
Hanging on with all I am
Each step I take I’m losing

The Persuit of the Proper Road
The one thing I've learned is that if God doesn't want you to do something, he won't let it happen. Plain and simple. That being said, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Around the fall of last year, I heard about this opportunity from a friend in the church in which I could go over to Malaysia (Kuala Lampur) to teach ESL with a Christian company. I was so excited! This was my opportunity for me to go out and get some good teaching experience. What's more, it was in a foreign country in which I've been before, it's where my roots are, it was with a Christian group, and best of all, it didn't require me to be a University graduate to apply with the company. It felt like this was God's plan for me. It truly got my hopes up.
In the weeks after, I started e-mailing the head of the school. I sent her my resume, stories and information about myself. With that, I waited for a few months, but to my surprise, got no response in the following weeks. After wondering why I had not received any word from the head of the school, I turned to my friend, who knew the head personally, and she was nice enough to find out what was going on. After a few months of waiting again, I finally got an e-mail in which I was told I could come, and that they were finding accommodations for me. At this point, my hope was rekindled. I finally felt like God was moving this path along for me.
I waited a few more months for the next response so that I could hammer out the details with the company, but like my situation in the previous months, I got no replying e-mail back. I sent numerous messages to them, yet got nothing in return. I was so frustrated. I felt like God was taking away this awesome opportunity for me. I was really bitter about it because it meant so much to me. I had planned to go there during the summer, and now my plans appeared to be ruined. I finally gave up and decided to move on. I was so angry with God. Why would He do this to me? Why would He give me that hope and then, in just a few months time, crush my aspirations?
Things felt hopeless.
But only for a little while.
Only a few months later, early on in the spring of this year, I heard about an opportunity to go on a missions trip to Mexico to teach ESL for a week with my church. I jumped at the opportunity, and am now fully engaged and am preparing for this wonderful trip. It's a humbling experience to know that God has brought me to where I am right now. I have learned so much already, both spiritually and mentally, about myself in these recent weeks of preparation for the trip. It has truly been a beneficial experience for me thus far, and I haven't even gone on the trip yet. I can't say that I would have learned this much about myself and my spiritual life if I had gone on that trip to Malaysia, so for that, I am thankful.
Ultimately, God took away my trip to Malaysia because he had something better planned for my life. God wanted me to go to Mexico to serve Him rather than to Malaysia to serve myself.
God really has a plan for us, and in the end, it always works out. At first, things don't always seem that way, but if we give it time and let God take control of our lives, the better road will appear to us, and it is that road that God prompts us to walk along.
I bet he's looking down on me, smiling, and saying, "I told you so Chris". How can I blame him? I know he's right.

Keri Time
So I suppose I'll go first and post my musings for the week since no one else seems to be doing it hehe... Pastor Ed gave us the two options for Spiritual Classics this week and I really had no idea which I wanted to do. I ended up doing both. I read Thomas Merton first, The Gift of Contemplation, and found that I really didn't like it that much. I know it isn't supposed to be about how much you "like" it, but it didn't connect with me very well. Regardless of my personal opinion, God still used a part of it to speak to me.
Actually, when I did do my first reading this week.. I was feeling tired and drained, so I ended up writing a couple pages in my journal just getting things off my chest and trying to wrap my head around everything I needed to do with school and church stuff. The main thing that stood out for me was when he was talking about the one condition for having intimacy with God: "If you desire intimate union with God you must be willing to pay the price for it." And it goes on to talk about how it really isn't that big of a deal, except that we make it so. "We find it difficult to give up our desire for things that can never satisfy us.." And it is this that I struggle with so often. Sometimes I can be sitting there knowing that I need to do one thing, only to be drawn so strongly to something I already KNOW won't even make me that happy. And still I go back to these unimportant things again and again.. like a weak and imprisoned soul. But I'm not bound to this life, we aren't bound to it. I've been saved, and it makes me sad when I think of how much I hurt God by rejecting Him when I choose other things over Him.
"The fact remains that contemplation will not be given to those who willfully remain at a distance from God, who confine their interior life to a few routine exercises of piety and a few external acts of worship and service performed as a matter of duty." I can say it again and again.. I want to be in an intimate relationship with God, but if I don't wholly give myself to Him, it isn't going to happen. And I guess that relates to Mexico too. We have all this knowledge in our heads, and we know what we want to do and how we want to help and that its the "right and Christian" thing to do.. and we are. We're going to Mexico. We're going to teach English. We're going to show Love. And yet, when we come home.. we could feel good and feel like we've grown only to revert back to the ways of the worldly. Even as we're submerging ourselves in the work God is doing, we could still be remaining at a distance from God.. not fully giving ourselves over and opening ourselves to Him.
I do feel a little overwhelmed with Mexico right now. We have a little over a month to go, and it feels like there are just so many things left to do. I want to simplify things, to just sit and soak in His Word.. to prepare myself for what He wants me to do. And then I think, when will I ever be prepared? Never! When will I ever feel adequate or knowledgeable enough? Never!! It's a leap of faith, right? It's like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.. when he has to take that leap of faith trusting that he won't fall into the chasm (he doesn't, by the way). And the only thing that can bring me comfort is knowing Christ is like that bridge Indiana Jones couldn't see.. and we just have to trust that He is there and believe it and know it and live it. Jesus. Jesus Christ.
Your Name is like honey on my lips,
Your spirit like water to my soul,
Your word is a lamp unto my feet,
Jesus, I love You... I love You.
And as I write this, I realize that Merton's writing did have much more to it than I'd first thought. God always does things like this. I think it gives me comfort. Experiencing over and over how God has intervened or allowed something to happen so that I could learn for myself what He wanted to tell me, it really does give me comfort. I know that He is there. I know that He cares. I know that He wants for me to grow. And I know that His plan for me is still unfolding. And I know that I'm not alone, even during those moments when Loneliness seems to be the only one sitting by me and keeping me company.
Since I've already blurbed a lot, I'll just pull some quotes from the other reading that stuck out to me. The reading was "Concerning the Our Father" by Simone Weil and it really touched on a few tender nerves in my heart as well with how I was feeling during the week, and how I'd neglected doing my devotions (especially this week):
"We are beings who continually draw our energy from outside, for as we receive it we use it up in effort. If our energy is not daily renewed, we become feeble and incapable of movement."
"The Our Father contains all possible petitions; we cannot conceive of any prayer not already contained in it. It is to prayer what Christ is to humanity. It is impossible to say it once through, giving the fullest possible attention to each word, without a change, infinitesimal perhaps but real, taking place in the soul."
And I'll end with that.
in Him,

Feel free to post comments for any of our posts. Once again, we thank you for your support and prayers.
All the best,
Chris Wong
