Testimony 10/01/06: The Nose Bleedings, Headaches and Jet Lags of Life

Guten Tag! (Good day!)

The day is coming closer. I am flying to Germany! It is winter and the weather forecast tells me to anticipate minus six degrees Celsius.

I don’t know what to expect. I’ve never been to Germany before. And after all, the coldest place I’ve ever been is probably zero degrees.

I pack up all the winter clothing I have, hoping that they would be able to sustain me in the land of FIFA World Cup 2006. Will I get headache? Will my old injury hurt? Will I fall sick? And how about the jet lag? Man… I am afraid that I couldn’t even last the 15-hour flight!

But God spoke to me: Do not be afraid! My Spirit is like fire, He will keep you warm.

WOW! I am to worry about nothing. I am to focus on one thing: going to Messe Frankfurt and observe 2006 trend at HEIMTEX exhibition. God will take care of the rest!

And it is true indeed! Even though the jet lag prevents me from sleeping, I don’t feel tired. Even though my nose continually bleeds due to the cold weather, I keep on walking. And even though the temperature drops to minus seven, I feel all right! And guess what…it snows in Frankfurt… the second time in nine years! And I felt so happy and blessed! Never have I seen fresh snow falling from the sky.

So… stay focus. Do not worry. When God calls, He will provide. Obstacles are many, but God will take care of it all. He will take care of all the nose bleedings, the headaches and the jet lags of life. All we need to do is to stay true to our calling and stay focus. God will bring His promises to pass.

Oh, by the way, the worst thing ever happen to me during the trip is to sit on the cold toilet seat!

PS. Heimtex is the German term for Home Textile. This year, my dad and I visited the exhibition as visitors. Next year, we will be back as exhibitors. It’s going to be a long and challenging journey but I am quite excited about it. We have a year to prepare. Please pray for God’s favour. Danke! (Thanks!)
