Afternoon prayers

2009-07-28T16:10:00.003+07:00

Lord, I know that you love me and I love you too. But the love that I have for you is not like what you have for me. I am a measurer. Please forgive me and help me so that I love you more. Please restore the first love in me oh Lord.

Please help me put you first in everything I do, oh Lord

Please help me trust you in everything in my life, oh Lord

Please help me know that you are with me, oh Lord

Please help me understand you more and more, oh Lord

Please help me walk in the power of Holy Spirit, oh Lord

Please help me be faithful in praying and seeking you everyday, oh Lord

Please help Orphan Voice move well in Vietnam, oh Lord

Please use Orphan Voice as your tools to reach to people you want, oh Lord

Please touch the people that you are sending Orphan Voice to, oh Lord

I give honor to you, glory to you.

Thank you my Jesus

In the loving name of Christ Jesus, Amen!

She hits your baby!!!!!

Linh and I had to go to Hue to take care of Ut who was supported by Orphan Voice to have a serious operation. Sally didnot want to go with us. She wanted to stay with Brewer's girls. She loves that very much. We left her 4 nights and she did very well. I missed her a lot.

During the time she was staying here. She was called baby because she is the youngest. She got it very well.

We came back and saw her sitting down with Cindy to eat water melon. Wow that blessed my heart. The Brewer is so good to us all the time.

One time Sally was so sturbbon and Linh tried to threaten her by raising her hand up high but she had not hit Sally yet. Sally cried and came to me: Daddy, she hit your baby, she hit your baby. What? I said and I realize....

Tien Phuoc 14th-15th May Trip

2009-05-22T11:30:00.009+07:00

13th May had a long day work at Dai Loc orphanage. Came back about 4pm and had to leave for Tam Ky, a transfering place for Tien Phuoc. Tired, sleepy and smell. got to Tam Ky at 8pm. I fell in sleep right away after coming to Tam Ky.

Got a shower early in the folowing morning and left for Tein Phuoc a 6am. I shopped and delivered gifts to 6 children in the morning. I got noodle, cooking oil, soup powder, cake and other stuffs in the morning. It was terribly hot and made me tired. After a short lunch, I left for another group of children in the west of Tien Phuoc. It took me more than an hour to get there
A bunch in front and a bunch on the back but I felt comfortable. My friend was also ready to help me.
Mountainous weather is strange. It rained while it was sunny. I kept going and passed a Pass then it was sunny and dry. The final child I went to on the first day out there is Trang. She is parentless. She was home with her two neighbor kids. She realized me right away when I showed. She smiled lovely. It was filled in my heart with joy right away. Praise God.It reminds me about her when I found her serveral weeks before. She cried a lot. Because of missing her dad. (Her dad died for two months). She could not tell me anything but cried and made me hardly to hold my tears back. Trang has gitf from Orphan Voice. I had time to talk and play with her. And went home with the joy keeping running in my heart. Be glory to God

Some thoughts about the movie night in Dai Loc Orphanage

2009-05-06T14:13:00.007+07:00

Enoch and I came to Dai Loc by motorbike at 2pm. The weather was sunny and so much windy. It was so strong that it likely pushed us away. The reason we went there early because we just wanted to make sure that everything went alright to have a good movie night for the children.
To the people who live in the city movie on the widescreen is not strange. To the people in some remote place, especially in the orphanage it is so much interesting. That is why some children tried to reach to us when we were preparing projector and screen...They were very curious about what we were doing there.
We had some problems with hanging the screen on the wall, adjusted the projector...In short everything was ready for the movie night but we could not go back to take the vain up here again as we had planned before because it was too late.
Show time. The children were very eager to the movie "Ratatouille". This is one of the best 3D cartoon movie.
It was a long day for me and Enoch. Actaully I felt tired and sleepy. However the laughters and laughters chased me tiredness away. It was right to say there is nothing happier than making other feel happy. I am a happy person because our work brought the smiles on the poor children faces.
To God my heavenly Father all glory.

Who is this girl?

Who is this girl in the pictures below? Can you guess?

6:30 pm. My wife went to school. I had to take care of the supper. I sometimes cook while my wife is busy with some other things. Cook is not very difficult but I do not always please my wife. Well while I was cooking, Sally came and called: daddy daddy, watch this funny. I turned around, looked at her and this is how she was:

She took her mammy home clothes and dressed for herself. And she thought that was funny. She looked very happy, didn't she?

You see. She looked very pleased in her mammy's clothes but you know what: Her two legs were in one side of the pants. Funny, funny
Sally! I love you
