Where my mom grew up in Mong Kok | TST Avenue of the Stars...Aaron Kwok! My all-time favourite HK popstar!

I went to the Vine (http://www.thevine.org.hk/) for Sunday service and it was the best two hours of my time in Hong Kong. There is something special about meeting in the house of the Lord and I was just so happy and so ready to do anything; it's like coming home while away from home. It wasn't just the creative, vibrant vibe I got at the Vine
(their small groups and ministries are amazing! I would sooo join in their community projects) but the speaker was talking about Micah 6:8 which is my life verse. I've been starting to feel quite homesick and alone (though not alone) and it was just a gift from heaven.

I hung out with Auntie Chick again today and we went to Mong Kok to see the still existing apartment where my mom's parents lived, and where my mom actually grew up. I felt that it was just a trip down memory lane for me as it was for Auntie Chick; she grew up with my mom and told me about their times on the streets and how the neighbourhood has changed. At times like these, I realize that maybe this trip is more than I imagined. These trips to explore my grandparent's and parent's lives in Hong Kong, spending time in Singapore with my fourth uncle (leaving for Singapore tomorrow!) and moving to Toronto (where my other two uncles live) for grad school...make me wonder if God has a greater plan for me. Family has always been a difficult part of my life and it seems like I am going around the globe (literally) to unite these loose ends and bring peace. I recently talked to Helinda too on Facebook!

As always, God has blessed my days with more than I could ask for or imagine...
