...ItGOesON::::::: God's Pleasure

Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Find something to allow myself to feel God's pleasure. The sprinter Eric Liddell told her sister, "God made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure." What make me feel God's pleasure? I think they're Language learning or teaching and singing.

I love learning languages as I've always been fascinated by languages (and the way God made them). To me, all languages are beautiful when they're used in a right way (and right time as well). I'm also amazed by how languages reach and connect people. The other day I met a short term missionary from France. I tried to talk to him in French (actually just a few words) and asked him questions about French. And that changed the atmosphere we had at first. He then became more open to tell me his stories in France. I'm always thankful that God put me in a linguistic programme in univerisity as I find learning languages are so much fun (of course there're still some difficulties).

I had people tell me how good I am at teaching languages (mainly Chinese and English). Well, I never think I'm a good teacher as I don't know everything about the languages I teach. I guess people say it because I know how it's like when being a language learner. For most of the time, apart from telling of rules, I share my learning experience and strategies with my students.
