On Saturday, we went to Holf. Met this really lovely girl, Lok Yi. The little girl that was given up by her mother. She was so adorable, precocious and she just melted my heart. But I know that God's ways are always higher than my ways. And if it's God's will, He'll find Lok Yi a nice family and if God thinks that we're good enough parents for Lok Yi, then He'll move us. By the way, how does Jael Sunshine Seet sounds? Nice, huh?
On Sunday at church, there was a Mother's Day celebration. In all my church going life, I truly believe that God must have brought us to Hong Kong for a reason and the reason, to be moved by Him in church. Truly enjoyed every moment of service. And it was really, really nice when the kids were giving out flowers to the mothers and Betty Nelson, came right to me to give me a hug and the box of flowers and she said, 'I know you'll make the greatest mum when you get your baby!' It almost brought a tear to my eyes. Betty Nelson has 2 adopted children and she has been very supportive in every single aspect with us adopting. She's been very encouraging and I am truly touched by her. For reasons such as this, I truly feel the love and support from IBC.
On Sunday after church we went to Macau. We went to have a look at Venetian. In my humble opinion, it's way too loud and cheesy with gold dripping everywhere. Macau is trying very hard to be like Vegas but I guess its hard. Especially with the proximity to China and the chinese ah bengs coming into Venetian to gamble. We saw group tours going in, loud voices, clearing throats and you get the picture. We left Venetian and went to our favourite casino. Wait, don't get me wrong. I'm not a gambler. We don't go to Macau every single weekend. Just once a month or once in 2 months. I love slot machines. I love hearing the sounds and just pushing the buttons. To me, it's all very entertaining. Yes, I know, I'm somewhat mad.
We got bored and decided to come back to Hong Kong early. And at the pier, that's when we met Ms Negative. Ms Negative was in the same standby line as us. Standby line is for those who have tickets to go home but just want to go home earlier. And throughout, she kept lamenting that there's no chance of us getting on the ferry and she went on and on and when we got on the ferry, we sat in front of her. For some reason, the ferry took a slight detour and Ms Negative went on and on about going home late and complaining, she drove us mad. And my headache....started brewing. By the time we got home, I showered, and went to bed and before I knew it, I had to throw up! I had a massive migraine. Sure, it was easy to place my migraine on Ms Negative but I realised this, 2 weeks ago, I went for bible study and we talked about the sanctity of the sabbath. And did I honour God on sabbath? No, maybe that's why I had my migraine.
Next day, it was a public holiday. I woke up late and then had tea with Elaine and Melissa. We had such a good time, just eating and chatting. The food was so glorious. So tempted to go again for tea. But have to restraint! I just managed to fit into my favourite jeans after 2 years!
Anyway, ramblings almost done. Do pray for us as we seek God's will in terms with adoption. As much as we like a little baby but maybe God has other plans for us. I'm quite taken by Lok Yi as well. But I don't want to mistake pity, sorry and compassion for God's will. Pray for discernment that I'll be able to hear God's voice speaking to me.
