EMI = Awesome

This past week I went to Cincinnati to attend two EMI training sessions with Phil and Samanta. It was an eye-opening time and I was overwhelmed by God's love and His power there. During these three days, I further experienced God's great power and His wonderful plan, and we were all set on fire for the gospel afterwards.

We attended two sessions, the first one was "Freeing Your Family", talking about how much we can be influenced by our families when we grow up, in both positive and negative ways. It gave me a chance to reflect my heart, repent, rethink and ask God what should be a godly family look like and how should it be functioned. We all have brokenness and wounds in our families, but God is an amazing healer, He is always able to heal the wounds and empower us to reconcile with our families. The second session is called "Dream Discipleship", which is to seek the dream and desire God has put in our hearts. I am very thankful to see some strong desires that have been buried in my heart for a long while, and just thinking about my dream, it brought me joy and happiness. I was also encouraged by the Holy Spirit to pray and seek my true desire after realizing how much I like it.

The night before we left Cincinnati, the whole class had a gathering party together, sitting around the fire, worshiping the Lord and praying together, I was so touched by God's peace and joy. We are people from 9 different nations, but I didn't feel any nations that night, we are truly brothers and sisters from the same nation, which is God's kingdom. Sharing with others and listening to the great stories of what the Lord has been doing in different people's life, I am amazed by God's mighty power. What can be better than praising the God who created heavens and earths, you and me in a peaceful late Autumn night.

Life is like a river, sometimes it is so ease, sometimes we are in a storm, but I know who is in control and who is in charge of tomorrow. I want to praise the Lord for being who He is, Jesus is hope, with Him there is joy and peace in life.
