Aftermath

The 13 days in Cambodia really felt like a whole month of traveling. So much was done, so much stuff I've seen, so little time to absorb.

When I arrived at HK, I remember when I see the real Burger King sign at the airport, it never felt so good seeing that sign. I felt I've finally came back to a place where I'm familiar with. However, that good feeling soon was replaced by the weary feelings from the over crowded city jammed with people, cars, and smog. Not only that, all the glamorous and gorgeous looking cars, buildings, clothes, people, and other materialistic things, have corrupted my spirit. I've been back to HK many times but somehow, this time was the most depressing. It was most depressing when every time I looked out to Victoria Harbor, there were heavy smog blocking the entire view on the other side.

Luckily, thanks to Wai Ho and Galex, I went to 2 fantastic worship places. In both places I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. I had a wonderful worship time, and as well continued to meet some amazing people. In particular a worship place in Central, I still really miss it! It's a really small place, but the atmosphere was really warm. I was a total stranger alone there, but I didn't really feel like one. I don't know if everyone there realized what gift has God given to them, I really hope they would treasure it, so when the next time I go back it would still be there.

Even though I had a great time at the worship, not long after I went back out to the street, all the noises have taken over me again. In HK I realize it's really hard to be a good Christian. As well, once you're on the street, you'd never be able to stop and rest, because everything is constantly moving. There's no place for you to sit and catch your breath.

All these feelings have stayed with me long after I came back to Canada, with the long jet lag, and the busy Christmas holiday that followed. Not until about a week ago, did I start feeling fully recovered. After I came back, even though the Lord was still constantly showing me stuff, I felt I've lost something after my trip to HK, and that I have distanced with Him, comparing to my state right before my trip. The Lord picked me back up with the book: John Sung's (宋尚節) Diary. (Thanks so much Fiona!) Hopefully I can share more about that book later on! It's a really powerful testimony that Dr John Sung has.

Anyway, lesson learned, one really needs quiet time to be alone with the Lord to continue to have strength from Him.

Well, that's all for my trip to Cambodia. It really was a trip of a life time, and I Do want to go back. It's been almost a month of writing about it now, and I shall stop now. I hope I didn't waste people too much time to read, or maybe people already gave up reading :p Anyway thanks for all the prayers and support and the chance to share my story! Until next time, so long Cambodia.
