Yesterday
I went back to both classes - man, 3 hours of Chinese makes the mind very tired.
We had dinner at Peter's Tex-Mex, came home for our Bible Study. We had two three new people attend. Alice is from our building and works at the local hospital. She wants to believe, but isn't sure which religion is the right one. Rebekah is not believing, but interested in English and Lily brought her. The third woman is Jane, she has been a believer/Christian for 18 years, she came with Timothy and Stella.
We watched the first two episodes of Lost season 5 with our house guests.
The Daily Bible
The first Passover since the actual Passover in Egypt is celebrated. Those that were unclean because of a dead body are allowed to celebrate it.
The Israelites are counted and given their marching and camping orders.
Boundaries in Marriage
Chapter 9 deals with faithfulness. This is not a shallow faithfulness of simply keeping the body pure in marriage, that is only sleeping with your spouse, but this faithfulness demands complete fidelity. Giving parts of the heart away to addiction, dishonesty, or some lust will destroy a marriage.
Prayer
Lord I pray you bless the members of our Bible study. Let them grow to love you with their whole being, encourage them to share this relationship with their family and friends. Bless us to love you and love others with your love.
Watch over our friends as the travel back from Sichuan and others as they come to Beijing for our upcoming meeting. Bless our house guests with safe travel to their homes. God give us all daily divine appointments, opportunities to share your love and your Name with people who don't yet know you. Give us grace to bless them with so they can grow in your love.
Be with our family members that are pregnant, guide their children in your ways, direct the parents towards your ideals for parenting, and give them all generational health and blessings. Be with K and also Z - both of whom have Leukemia. Give them health and most of all your love, comfort, and a deeper desire for relationship with you.
Through the love of Jesus, amen.
