The fourth month passed in my ISEED program.
It was still a busy month. We finished the book reading “A meal with Jesus”. I really experienced what the author said, “Meal slows down all the things”. I feel I’m always busy and the world is at fast pace; Only the meal slows me down to focus on what nutrition I’m going to have and whether those taste good. Most of Jesus’s life recorded in Bible was about food. Jesus was ether eating with people, or on the way to eat with people. This remembers my first experience go to the bible study: great food was always an attraction. However, God’s word is also our spiritual food. We should take our daily spiritual bread, spending some time daily with the Lord, otherwise I would feel hungry in my spirit.
Other friends said I am a good cook and always could make left over to a new dish. I feel this part of me is most like Jesus: He also made five breads and two fishes feed thousands of people, and after resurrection he showed to his disciples and cooked fishes for them to eat. Before I met the student almost every week this month, I spent almost an hour each time to make my dish half prepared. Thus, we can have about ten minutes cooking together (make the food hot and fresh) and enjoy time talking and share the gospel with her. Now we are reading a small book called “How good is good enough”. It is short each chapter and I think also fits for her time. In chapter one, there is a small title called “Packed and Ready”. It made me think that how much should we put in our suitcase during our life time is “Packed enough” to face the physical death. Doing many good things? Earn a lot of money? Donation a lot to charity? We never know the standard because we are not the one to set it, but God does. And his standards are revealed in Bible: Believe in me and join my plan through your work. Thus, I feel when I pack our stuff at the end of the life, I pack God’s word is enough for me to be with him forever.
