Went to the Market

Yesterday, I didn't do much. During the morning I woke up and ate congee. After that I washed the floors and dishes. My grandma taught me how to cook noodles in her own special way. Hehe noodles :) anyway...I spent time reading the Bible yesterday and reading the Blueprint again. I was reading the chapter on "Waiting Prayer". I exercised it but fell asleep. Then I slept for maybe four hours because of jet lag. By the time I woke up it was dinner.

I went out with my uncle and his family to eat dinner at Olympic City 2. I ate dishes I never ate before in Canada. They were very oily and there wasn't much vegetables. However, I am very thankful that I got to eat those "special" dishes because they were very yummy and I got to spend time with my baby cousin, Anson. He is very cute. He speaks both Cantonese and English very well. He doesn't know how to read yet. I brought him a Children's Beginner Bible from Canada. Hopefully he will learn how to read and love Jesus from the Bible.

From talking with my cousin I definitely know that I would like to work with children when I have a stable occupation.

My grandma has a sore throat at the moment. I tried praying for my grandma last night but she didn't want me to pray with her. She said that she didn't believe in Christianity so I shouldn't pray with her. I didn't pray WITH her but I prayed for her in my own room. Her heart is still hardened...

I'm praying for mercy on her.

Since I read the "Waiting prayer" chapter of Blueprint, I tried it. Nothing happened last night. I didn't really hear the Lord's voice. I feel like I can't connect with Him right now. I feel very distant. I don't know what is stopping me from being connected to Him. Since, I didn't get much from waiting and praying, I read scripture. I was continuing on reading the book of Luke. The chapters 12 and 13 are kind of confusing. I don't really understand it.

After I prayed last night and went to sleep I had a bad dream. I was sinning a lot in my dream. I did a lot of stuff that I would never do or would do or thought of doing. For example swearing. I was conscious in my dream so I realized that I was starting to sin. I told myself don't do this and I started to repent and ask God for forgiveness. Then I woke up because I knew that my dream was a bad dream. When I woke up, I was stuck on the bed again. I got sleep paralysis for the...sixth time? I don't know but I'm getting it a lot this year...

I'm still having problems being confident. I don't know why but I'm worrying a lot about worldly things at the moment. This is very bad...

This morning I went to the immigration office to apply for my HK ID Smart Card. I took my picture and stuff. It was a very fast process. The people here are very efficient.

After that I went to Mong Kok market with my auntie. She taught me how to bus and buy stuff there. It was fun! :) I bought choy sum, lemons and pears. I pray that these will help my grandma be better. It was sad to see that every market stall had a small Chinese temple. We need to pray for this city to love Jesus!
