Prayer of this month :)

Prayer of this month (June):

God of compassion, you want no one to suffer, but you take upon yourself every human trail.
As we attempt to love you, we want to be able, in our turn, to forgive over and over again.
Prayer by Brother Roger of Taizé.

June13~14* On the way to Taizé...

In mid of April 2010, Revd. Wong invited me to consider for the 3 months stay in Taize.

In mid of May 2010, I had an "interview" with Revd. Lam. He told me something about Taize. 
And finally, after a month I have applied the application, he confirmed I could visit Taize for 3 months!!! How excited I was but followed with the anxiety...

Because of this stay, I got to know Annie, who helped me a lot for the arrangements before I went to Taize. She is a very nice person! After she told me what should I prepared, I asked her to pray for me, and I felt more peaceful to make the decision.  :)

I knew that it must be God's plan and I'm so grateful that I could be one of the lucky person, it's just like a dream... I couldn't believe I was the lucky one!
It like an adventure for me : with the very poor English skill, 1 st time to go out Asia; 1 st time to travel alone; 1 st time to leave home for 3 months! WOW! 
God choose the foolishness!

But I really give thanks to God, HE gave me such an precious experience, HE love me sooooo much!
Also, thanks so much for my family and friends, gave me a lot of Love and encouragement before I left HK.

Lovely Hoyee and CC :)
Special thanks to Hoyee, the permanent in Taize of 2009, she helped me a lot esp. for my  mind's preparation! :D

I finished the exam on 8 June, and I only have 5 days to prepare my trip because I need to come back HK in early of September for my beginning of school of my final year!!!
I was really really really nervous!!!!!!!!!! I still don't know what's exactly I was nervous about... it seems like toooooooooooooo rush!!! everything not prepared well... the bills, the school fees, the stuffs in my home......etc....

These 5 days before I left, I bought many stuffs to Taize, like souvenirs of HK, cloths, daily commodities...etc. 
The most important thing --> had a hair cut! :D
Also I had farewell dinnersssss with my family and friends every night... hahaha... it's just too exaggerated :P
Farewell dinnersssss :)




2010.06.13~14 going to Taizé.
The day before I left HK, I packed my luggage from midnight until morning! wah! CRAZY ME... but it still overweight =.= how could I do that.......
I slept for only 2 hours and than went to church, shared what I'll do and how I felt at that moment to my church-mates ;)

In the afternoon, I went to HSC, met Woo Sir, Hoyee and WanHoi, they gave me something...... So grateful to have you all ;)
Finally, gotta leave home at 19:30. 
When we (with my mom and brother) arrived the bus stop, God prepared a cheap taxi (泥猛的) which was only $30 per person to airport, it solve my unpeaceful feeling...
In airport :)


Yeah! We arrived airport on time! Then I put my luggage to check in counter, it still overweight... oh my God....hahahaha.... I need to put out something from luggage to hand carry bag, and my mom have got to bring back the soaps to home as it was too heavy! :P
My luggage could came with me to Taize eventually! :D
Suddenly received the gift from my dearest sister! Chocolates and candies stored with a very beautiful bottle! Can't believe it was made by my sister :P
I had one second wanted to cry but I didn't :P because my family is too crazy and we laughed a lot!!!!!!!! :D
At 22:00, I have got to enter the gate, and said "see you all 3 months later" to my family ;)
Thanks God for the LOVE from all of them :)

23:15 flight departed.

On the plane ;)

 I still felt a little bit nervous and like dreaming on the plane, I slept for a while after I calmed down. Suddenly, I awoke at 4 am and I saw a very impressive scene that I have never seen!
And afterward, an air hostess from HK asked me if I like to eat ice-cream or noodles... WOW! so touching and warm!!! hahaha...
4:50 safely arrived Amsterdam @ Netherlands! :D

I walked around, watched around snapshot around, tidied up my bag, brushed my teeth... and I paid 3€ for the Internet 15min ... TWICE :P toooooo expensive.... why no free wi-fi....

After 4 hours, it's time to have entrance registration before I boarded the connecting flight. It's a bit longer than usual when I was registering.... that's person asked many things: WHERE? WHY? HOW LONG? FOR WHAT? and asked me to show the invitation letter from Taize...

 eventually I finished the country registration and continued my journey! :D going to Lyon @ France!!!

TBC... :)
