Went to Eric office together with Dinah to discuss our trip to Chicago, showed him our flight itinerary
and our trip in details so he can help up book the flight.
He is always like a father to us, helps us settle everything, takes us to the bank, takes us to buy clothes,
isn't he is great?! hahahaha. After the short meeting, three of us went out for lunch, because today the
dinning hall is packed with a lot of visitors. In order to avoid the crowd, we went to a Mexican restaurant!
Rancho Viejo! Ordered steak and shrimp for myself as a meat lover, super delicious!!! hahah

We had some great conversation, updating our lives, enjoy great food, and laughed a lot!!!
Enjoyed this simple precious time together like a family!

CRU-Traveling Team!

Met them last year during the summer team reunion, and this time they travel here and speak on our campus!Although I heard this message twice, still, it's so powerful even makes me want to cry~
Well, let's do some recap:

God uses his people to bless the world.
Throughout Genesis, God speaks to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, "...all the nation's of the earth will be blessed. "

God's blessings don't just stop on us but go beyond that, which is to bless other people through us. 

The famous verse, Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God...." A famous quote that printed on all the mugs, t-shirts, stickers, but... how many of us read the whole verse? Let me show you the full verse: "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nation's, I will be exalted in the earth."

God's plan is bigger than just....us.

We all know the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 

The 10/40 window is the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia approximately between 10 degrees North and 40 degrees north latitude. The 10/40 window is often called "The Resistant Belt" and includes the majority of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. These countries have high concentrations of unreached peoples, but yet, missionaries on the field are few... "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the Harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:37-38
What can we do?!
Go-er: We can go on a mission trip, or serve as a cross-cultural missionary.
Sender: We can be the one who support the go-er by GIVING and PRAYING.
Mobilizer: Encourage people to go and see the need, challenge them to respond it!

          *That's Amber! She is from the Traveling Team, an encouraging young lady!*


You have heard this, now, it's your choice to stay back in the same routine or make a difference. 
Remember, life is short, make no regret.

CRU women's night!

Colossians 3:12-17
How do you cloth yourself spiritually?
What God wants us to clothe ourselves with?

Be in the community with God
Through the power of Holy Spirit, how do you use this power?
A lot of time, we spend a lot of time with the outside world, but not God. 
When trials come, we blame, feeling lonely or abandoned, and this happens again and again, but why is this a cycle?
It is the same power that raises Jesus from the dead, what do you do with that?

Be in the community with others
God knows we need the family love and the community love. 
Going to church is enough, or stay at home read bible is enough, but why do we need biblical community?
With a biblical community, that holds you together, that helps you walk through the trials in life. 
Remember, deep relationship, deep conversation, you will need them....

Be in the community go on the mission
We are called to go and make disciples!
So that the nations will praise His name and raise His name up high!
That's is nothing excited than go and fulfill the Great Commission together with your community.

So, we had this women's night from Charlotte metro area, get together, listen to God word! 
Met some new friends from different schools, don't remember all their name but, well~ hahah
I met Rene Foth too! Who is also a staff under International Bridges!
And she was the guest speaker, God pokes my heart through her wise and powerful words!

Brunch date with roomie!!!




Brunch date with my roomie!!!
Yes~!!!!!!

So, this morning......we drove to Cafe Guda for brunch!
Bonding time is what we needed in the midst of the busy schedule and lifestyle.
Enjoy the cloudy sky, big and filling breakfast, and of course, the joyful and cheerful relationship!
Even though we have the same name, but our different characteristic brings us together!!!
Learn to respect, learn to care for each other, learn to listen, learn to communicate, and more!

You don't know how much I cherish this friendship and her as a great roommate!
Couldn't ask for a better roommate than this!

Meet up with Abby!

Meet up with Abby for the first time as we promised!
Went to a cafe close to campus, chill, chat, pray and do our work together!
Glad to have another spiritual friend here, so thankful!
And one thing that touches my heart was when she mentioned that she has been praying to God for a true friend, and God sent me to her, and be her friend!
WOW~~!!! 
What a fruitful time together!

Thanks for her visit from UNC Charlotte! If you remembered,

May God continue to guide her and protect her in her upcoming ministry on campus!
Thank God for putting this angel in my life!!!
