Dear Tiffanie, One thing I want you (and others reading) to be sure to understand, and to hear as you read this, is that "you" also equals "yours," as in the entire AAPI Diaspora. One, among many wonderful shared cultural mores between Black and Asian people, is that we are a collective people. We use singular and plural personal pronouns interchangeably. That is how it ought to be as followers of Jesus, together adopted into his family, together sharing in his inheritance, and together breaking bread. You bring the chop sticks, I'll bring the hot sauce. My soul is (again) groaning, all the while knowing, That a change is gonna come. It will be missed by some. That "already to the not yet" time will be done. (That simple promise has kept my people from coming undone.) Our Lord Jesus will see to it, That your enemies (who because they are yours are also my enemies) Will get what He sees fit. Sister Chan, please know that y
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! What a wonderful reminder to lean into our Savior and trust Him - the Giver - and not the gifts He gives. Thank you for sharing, sweet sister! -Nikki
ReplyDeleteFor two days in a row now I've watched your "Manna Moment" and been blessed afresh by it. Thanks for pointing me again and again to the provider and not the provision, the need he met for me yesterday and the need he's going to meet for me today, and ultimately the truth that he will meet my needs for each day, day by day. That I can bank on in these uncertain times. Feeling less anxious as I get ready for work. 😊
