Answer the call

So I went to the screening of the 1040 movie with Jaeson Ma that was held at my church on Monday night. It has given me a lot to think about. It's definitely a lot to take in, but I really enjoyed the show.

The documentary was good. I'm not a huge fan of documentaries, but I enjoyed this one. It was funny too. Jaeson's message was powerful too. Messages like these do confuse me. Ones which ask, are you where God wants you to be? I think mostly because such messages also focus on the area that whoever is speaking is drawn to. Which was also such a case with Jaeson. But he did tell it differently, I just can't put it into words. He mentioned a lot of great stuff and I'm still processing everything. I can't even form sentences to describe what he said. It's one of those things where the words are lost, but the essence of the message is still there.

Then I got to enjoy the performance end of the night. Jaeson performed with EEG artist Sherman Chung, singing a song from a new Christian album by various artists. Loved the song, so will definitely look out for the CD. It's called Love for Real. Despite throwing myself into Jaeson's song Passion, I still felt awkward. I really don't do hip hop!

I still think that right here, right now is where God wants me. But I do have a passion for mission and hope to go on one next year. And maybe that will lead to something closer to what Jaeson is preaching to all of us. But until then, I'm still keeping my focus on the (mostly) Nepali kids here in Hong Kong

Speaking of which, the organisation where I help out with tutoring has found a new place. They had to move out of their current location because the owners are selling. Initially they found a place two suburbs away, but being so far away from the current kids, they would basically have to start from scratch, as most kids live close by and just walk and would not be able to make it out there. Not only would they have to start from scratch, but they would essentially be abandoning these kids, and the whole point of the organisation is to keep them off the streets. Thankfully, they found a place near by and will be moving over in two weeks. This organisation has developed a really special place in my heart, and the children too, so it has been something that I have made a point to really pray for.

Overall, a wonderful start to my week. Lots of goodbyes have been happening lately too, as people go off to university overseas. But it prompted me to spend more time with them before they left, which left me feeling more joyful rather than unhappy. I know I will see them at Christmas, so I'll just look forward to that.
