It's Privilege!

Do you have privilege today?
If your answer is ‘No’, are you sure?

This week I started my BSF study, I was excited to find out my new DL (Discussion Leader) for this year. When I stepped into the worship hall my ex-DL greeted me and she told me "You're in privilege class".

Later I found out my new DL could not come hence SY who is STL (Substitute Teaching Leader) took over for 1st class. It's good that I got to know SY (gentle & friendly lady). SY told us what a privilege to be in BSF (learning the word of God, knowing more people & learning from one another).

"It's a privilege to see all of you here today to learn the life of Moses." we're greeted sweetly in the opening speech by TL. I really felt I was so privilege that night!

I learned about God's promise to Abraham, Moses, Joseph, and many more. What God promises, He fulfills! God never break His promise but man does. Suddenly I realised I’ve just broke my promise to my friend 15 minutes ago. At first I promised my colleague (who attending BSF) by saying “No matter whatever happens, I’ll go back with you after class. Then I met a friend and I decided to go with this friend, so I messaged my colleague that I could not go back with her 15 minutes ago. Oh… what a failure I am!

This tells me that I cannot even trust myself to keep the promise. So, who shall we trust? We can only trust God in our life! I have put my trust in the Lord, what a privilege, how about you?

Chinese New Year

How did you celebrate Chinese New Year?

This is how I celebrated my CNY in Indonesia.

Chinese Reunion Dinner
Reunion dinner is important for Chinese and it is celebrated on CNY eve . Unfortunately I went back to Indonesia on CNY eve (evening) hence I missed the reunion dinner with my parents & relatives. Instead I celebrated it at Burger King in the airport with my sister and all customers of Burger King :)

New Clothes
New clothes are significant for the start of New Year. I was happily wearing new clothes and shopping more new clothes :)

Yearly Visit
It was great to visit relatives and friends since I might only see them once a year. Besides getting updates, I also received red packets from those who were eligible to give. :)

I enjoyed my CNY a lot and gave thanks to the Lord, how about you?

Happy Chinese New Year!
