'ello lovelies. the time is currently 10:37pm as I begin to write this and I just got home 10 minutes ago. i worked 15 hours today and i must say i'm exhausted. bud got a pizza and brought it over, as well as some chocolate cookies and cream ice cream! it was awesome to have him there and to be able to hang out with him while i was working. :) today was a busy day. i did a bunch of tidying up around my employers house just because i felt like it, watched the babies, took them to the doctors and while they slept i read a bunch of articles on the amazing work God is doing in China. its been making me want to be there even more! but i must be patient and trust in the Lord's perfect timing. if you're interested in reading the articles about china you can look here and here. i try not to get overly optimistic with regards to china's "religious improvements" because my spirit has a sense of warning with regards to it being talked about in a public forum. nonetheless, its nice to read an encouraging article about God changing someone's life and hearing of heart transformation. (funny - we were just talking about that in church last week. coincidence? nope!)
anywho - since China seemed to be all over the place today (even my dad called me to tell me about something he heard about China on the news today) - it got me missing Hong Kong even more. tonight as i gave the babies their bottle and was rocking them back to sleep, i started to sing to them. now, thats nothing new, but tonight, i started to sing to them in cantonese! i'm not trying to elude that i "spoke in tongues" or had some spiritual experience. it was just nice that the Lord brought to remembrance a song that i learned while in Hong Kong. and what was nice was that i remembered the words and THAT is something different. i'm horrible with different languages. granted, its easier for me to learn a language if i'm singing it, but to the same degree, remembering a worship song in cantonese is AWESOME! (i really watch too much yo gabba gabba.) anyway - it was nice to rock them to sleep and sing to them in cantonese. they don't know what i was saying but that didn't make the moment any less special for me.
i did a lot of praying over them today. i need to remember to do that EVERYDAY. while i was playing with them today, i just talked to them in a soft voice saying "my prayer for you ailia is that you will love Jesus and grow in His love and grace and take it to the ends of the earth! my prayer for you leila is that you will love Jesus and grow in His love and grace, and take it to the ends of the earth! my prayer for you girls is that you will live for Jesus, be moved and show others Jesus in your life." they just smiled and babbled like normal and i couldn't help but get a little choked up. i can't wait to have a child of my own. one that i can pray over, love and take care of. a little one that i can raise in the ways of the Lord and see God do amazing and great things in his or her life. one day, i hope to have a child of my own. i hope and pray for that to come to fruition some day. hopefully someday soon! i hope my endometriosis doesn't cause too much trouble in that area.
well, i think i will sign off this here blog thingy. maybe i'll come back and actually write out the lyrics to the song i was talking about earlier. i dunno. we'll see. anyway. talk to you later. much love to you! agape.

edit: i decided to write the lyrics on here. enjoy!
