When you see this theme,
you must think of Psalm 42:5 and 11, which represent my state of mood at that
time—downcast and disturbed.
The Youth With A Mission
Disciple Training School sent us to Russia, only to find out how difficult it
was to get along with our brothers and sisters in the United States and sisters
in New Zealand. When we were performing at school, they wanted me to stand in
the front, in front out of the stage, or in the last row, and no one could see
me, and I would like to be blocked by these young and beautiful girls who were
taller than me. But they didn't want to be my friends, because they said,
"I'm not the real person, because I don't give out my temper." Don't
forget, I've only lived in New Zealand for over a year, I have the essence and
elegance of Chinese culture, and I don't like to argue or quarrel with people.
The only people who treated me well were the England sister, who were the team
leader, and the New Zealand brother Mark, our short mission team leader,
everyone liked her, but Mark often went to the beach with me and yelled so that
all my stress and grievances could be released.
At that time, I was not
very good at singing English songs, because it was too difficult to memorize
the lyrics, and I couldn't act in a skit, only I was assigned to give testimony
every time, and my testimony was different every time, because I was placed
after the skit, and every time I testified with the skit was different, I spent
a lot of time writing testimonies, and when I testified, I used cheat sheets to
testify, because I couldn't use English 24 hours a day, my mind was often
overused, and the night was my quietest time. Because I couldn't think of
English, and I couldn't speak English.
When I came back from
Russia and got my discipleship certificate, Sister Wilson picked me up and
lived with her on the farm left by her father, and I stayed for three months,
and I was very unhappy, depressed and irritable. Sister Wilson had a box of
biscuits, I would always eat biscuits, because my heart was very empty, I ate a
lot, because of my conscience, I walk 30 minutes to the nearest store, bought a
lot of biscuits, and walked back to the farm, put back into the biscuit box, so
that my heart could be at peace.
One day, I went to the
orchard to pick apples, and I walked for thirty minutes to the orchard, and I
filled two buckets of apples, and as I walked, a group of horses stole the
apples I had picked, and my apple buckets became lighter and lighter, and I
turned around and saw the horses eating apples, and I was very angry, and I
dropped the buckets and cried and said, "You bad horses, stealing my
apples, like the DTS girls, even you (the horses) are going to bully me, my
heart hurts!" And I sat down on the land, and began to weep bitterly, and
wept and rebuked, and I could not do anything when the horses had eaten all the
apples? After a long time, I took up two empty buckets, and went back to the
house, and all my sorrows, grievances, and irritations, were taken away by God,
and God had His timetable, and He set me free, and so did you.
Like the last three verses of Psalm 42:5 and 11, “Look to God, for He helps me with a smile, and I will praise Him.” For the descendants of the psalmist Korah have found the answer and put our faith in the Lord, who is the answer to all we have, and He will save us, in His time.
