Another day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it
Shortly after 4 months of our wedding, here comes another eventful day for me and James ~ 20 September 2009 ~ Ordaination of James as Deacon at KCBC.
With no experience in the past attending such type of ordaination ceremony as it's very rare to have Deacon- ordained- for- life (終生制執事) in churches in Hong Kong, I waited for this day with no expectation but prepared the best for it.
It was overwhelming : solemn, dignified, majestic and reflective. More so than my own wedding!
"But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15b)

As a new KCBC member
Beginning my journey with KCBC (Kowloon City Baptist Church) ...
"When will you come to our church ?" "When shall we see your wife?" are questions often post to me or James after our wedding. While both of us have been (and we still are) enjoying our individual church life at our own churches, it's time to see a common path to this journey together.
For me, it's never easy to say goodbye, make a jump or find myself in such a big / mega church. All my life, I am used to small-medium sized church, which I know most of the people I see on Sundays. Although I grew up with singing traditional hymns, in recent years, I'm also getting use to "praise and worship" style of worship at church. My hope and goal is to :1) keep the rich and meaningful traditional hymns going (not to be lost at certain generation) and 2) help the congregation to sing with true spirit and uplifting experience before our almighty God.
In the coming months, I foresee my weekends filled with more activities by the 2 churches. I pray for more energy to accomplish the tasks / goals / people to meet, and I wait on the Lord to show me the right path and timing for all that I do for Him.
At the KCBC monthly meeting last night, with no objection from the floor, my application to become a KCBC member was formally approved. Then, my hubby brought to me these lovely and beautiful roses ! What a nice surprise !! Thanks so much !

Shine On Us
August is not a usual month for weddings but I'll be having 3 weddings to attend. So I'll be quite busy getting nice dresses and keeping my body and skin in good shape for these 3 beautiful occasions. What a good excuse to get myself look pretty !
The first one is the wedding of my hubby's niece, the second one is on the same day - it's a long-waited wedding of my 2 good friends since my days in St John's College, and the third one is the wedding of my wedding manager.
My wedding manager has kindly (and boldly) invited me to sing at her very special and unique wedding - unity candle ceremony. The hymn was hand picked by my hubby - SHINE ON US. Very simple but uplifting lyrics, so is the melody. Here is the link by Avalon (my favorite singing group which sings WE ARE THE REASON) :

SHINE ON US
Lord Let your light, Light of your face Shine on Us
Lord Let your light, Light of your face Shine on Us
That we, may be saved That we, may have life To find our way In the darkest night Let your light, Shine on us
Lord Let your grace, Grace from your hand Fall on us
Lord Let your grace, Grace from your hand Fall on us
That we, may be saved That we, may have life To find our way In the darkest night Let your grace, Fall on us Lord Let your love, Love with no end Come over us
Lord Let your love, Love with no end Come over us
That we, may be saved That we, may have life To find our way In the darkest night Let your love, Come over us
Let your light, Shine on us

Honeymoon in Greece - Part I
The final 2 weeks before the wedding was the most hectic period - all sorts of counting down, final decisions to be made, special care and attention to needs of parents and family members etc ..., so I didn't have much time to diligently planned the 15 days honeymoon. Time was running out as we would be taking off to Greece only 2 days after the wedding !
So my best friends kindly offered to help me with the final booking of ALL the accommodation in the 3 cities in Greece which we were visiting - Athens, Santorini and Crete. Special big thanks for their efficiency and great effort to shortlist, book and liaise with the hotels and arranged the best for me and my hubby. What a wonderful wedding gift for us !
On our wedding day, I was given a package of the honeymoon material marked "To be opened on your honeymoon". Woh...the joy of this half -half expected planning of our honeymoon was unspeakably memorable to us!
Finally, I sorted out some photos of our honeymoon in Greece last night. Photos can be viewed at this link:

The world is put on hold ...
Many have sent us positive feedback and nice comments about how much they have enjoyed our wedding. (me too!) One of which is the anthem - AS THE BRIDEGROOM - delivered by the 80 members church choir from James' home church, Kowloon City Baptist Church. (http://www.baptist.org.hk/new/b5_index.php)
Each time I listen to it, the serenity and love seem to put the world on hold. Just like this nice picture taken by a friend of mine from the audience on our wedding day.
Let me share the meaningful lyrics with you, again.
AS THE BRIDEGROOM by John Rutter
As the bridegroom to his chosen, as the king unto his realm,
As the keeper to the castle, as the pilot to the helm.
As the captain to his soldiers, as the shepherd to his lambs,
So, Lord, art thou to me.
As the fountain in the garden, as the candle in the dark,
As the treasure in the coffer, as the manna in the ark,
As the firelight in the winter,
As the sunlight in the spring,
So, Lord. art thou to me.
As the music at the banquet, as the stamp unto the seal,
As refreshment to the fainting, as the winecup at the meal,
As the singing on the feast day, as the amen to the prayer,
So, Lord, art thou to me.
As the ruby in the setting, as the honey in the comb,
As the light within the lantern, as the father in the home,
As the eagle in the mountains, as the sparrow in the nest,
So, Lord, art thou to me.
As the sunshine in the heavens, as the image in the glass,
As the fruit unto the fig tree, as the dew unto the grass,
As the rainbow on the hilltop, as the river in the plain,
So, Lord, art thou to me.
Each time I listen to it, the serenity and love seem to put the world on hold. Just like this nice picture taken by a friend of mine from the audience on our wedding day.

Are you on Facebook ?
As facebook is getting more and more popular in Hong Kong and worldwide, I find it easier to keep track of how my friends are doing. Some update of myself...
I've become "Mrs. Yiu" ("Yiu-tai") in early May and I'm anxiously awaiting the photos taken by our official photography team which may take a while. Meanwhile, feel free to check out my friends' snapshot of the day at my FB profile on the link below : )

Wishing you goodness and happiness, each new day ! = )
