Rachel and I in Royal Botanical Garden in Melbourne.
Had a wonderful Christmas. My good friend Rachel gave her heart to Jesus on Christmas Day, and that was the best Christmas gift I got. Really there is nothing more joyful than seeing a new life in Christ. And it was a divine appointment that we met at the Open Stage during the he/she/it Fringe Festival season at Melbourne University, where I was one of the crew for he/she/it, while Rachel was a student there. Since then God has drawn us close together. His fingerprints have been on both of our lives. Praise the Lord!
On Christmas night, I enjoyed hosting the Christmas dinner for brothers and sisters in Christ (those whose families are overseas) in my apartment. It was fun to spend time with them eating, chatting, singing and seeing the Christmas lighting show down the road. I had lots of fun and meaningful sharing with them. My cooking was not particularly good, but happy that I was able to serve them. If you want to share our joy, you can have a look at the photos here.

Beautiful picture. Oh, I am so happy for you and Rachel! Oh, I pray that the Lord would sweep joy and peace in her life, and the enemy would be held back by God's hand. That she would have clarity of thought and joy in her walk. And the Bible would come alive and dance with power in her life, and yours.

Dear LLL, yes it was one of the best Christmases I've ever had, although I don't have any family here with me. God is good to bless me with extended family.
Hi! I've seen your sweet comments on other blogs and wanted to see your own writings. You have a lovely blog.
My sister is in the arts. She does various things, but among them is her designing of public sculptures/architectural works.
She's worked in China and Sweden. She's not a believer.
About your friend Rachel, praise the Lord. How exciting to have Christmas memories intertwined with her coming to Christ!
Visit my own blog when a less controversial post is up front. (I wanted to speak frankly about isues so my political comments could be seen in context.)
My blog promotes two books, that are terrific to disciple a person, not at all heavy handed, just beautiful ideas :-)
God bless!
