God is bigger than a language

i am sitting up at jackson's point. it's a lovely day. the sun is shining, and i really should be outside. i will as soon as i finish this. matt and i the guest speakers at the korean corps retreat - well for the youth anyway, the adults have their services in korean. we have been attending the korean corps nearly every second week for a while now. we have made some good friends here. kim, who has just finished up her youth pastor responsibilities is now a good friend of ours. she actually gets married in 4 weeks (2 weeks before us), then is sadly (for us and the corps) is heading down to california to live for a while.

anyway, this morning before the session started, kim's dad David (one of the elders o the corps) came down to pray with us. He told us before he started that he was going to pray in korean, this didn't phase us at all, some of them in the EM (english ministries, youth service) still pray in korean. but then he started praying. i had absolutely no idea what he was saying, but i have not felt God so strongly in a long time as i did when he was praying. i was blown away.

God is so much bigger than we often give Him credit for. this was no exception. i thank God for David's faithfulness and his prayers. and i praise and thank God that is bigger than any language.

Came across your blog while cruisin' through some Toronto bloggers - Just fell victim to the art of blogging recently, although it's mostly about my son who was born very premature. Anyway, I love your talk of God and how big He is. In fact, it's just nice to see a fellow-Torontonian speak of God at all. We attend a church in Markham, but it's just not often you hear God's name outside of church in this big city. It's sad, really...Anyway, just wanted to say HI!! :)

=) Hehe...dad loves the youth and he love you and Matt - he knows we're the future ministers, missionaries and disciples and I know he'll continue to pray for you, Matt and your ministry...and probably make your uniforms too =P
