Live a unique life color
Not long ago, we celebrated my father’s eightieth birthday in New York at the church he founded nearly thirty years ago. All the brothers, sisters, relatives and friends helped prepare a unique birthday party with love. My father’s pastor colleagues when he was young also sent pre-recorded short videos to congratulate me from Taiwan and California. My father suffered a severe stroke two years ago and it is a special grace that he is still with us today.
Whenever I have the opportunity to share my testimony, I must mention my father’s love for me, his example, and his influence on my ministry. My father’s sincere love and loyalty in service, his commitment to his family, his enthusiasm for his friends, and especially his love for me always make me deeply believe that I am the happiest daughter in the world!
What I am most grateful for is that my father believes that as a daughter, I can and should do my best to use the gifts and talents that God has given me without reservation to live out the destiny, plan and purpose of God in me. . This kind of growth background, coupled with my firm belief in God’s words, allows me to serve with complete freedom, whether in the church or in society, without being subject to many restrictions from traditional or cultural background teachings.
