For one rare moment in my life, words have failed me. My joy is beyond the description of any human language, and I am absolutely moved to tears by the way God has planned for things to work out. My father-in-law has finally committed himself to attending every Sunday Chinese service, after which he will study the Bible. Much as I have been praying for this to happen, and much I have been visualising him accepting Jesus as his Saviour and getting baptised, his decision to commit his time to studying the Bible still caught me very much by surprise. I wasn't there to witness the session this evening as I was at the Good Enough Parenting, but I heard from Adrian that Pa was pretty open about himself, which really isn't something we would expect considering his past. Nevertheless, we will leave him in the good hands of brothers Kwok Yew, Johnson and two others studying with him and keep ourselves away, for it must be awkward to have either of us sitting in due to our close relationship and the generation gap.
The biggest hurdle has now been crossed. It's now a matter of time before Pa accepts Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. It is not too early to party, is it? Come rock and roll with me! And thanks for all the prayers all these years!
Love, Carol
