Liang & Ling My wife and I got baptized by the same pastor, in the same place, at the same period. What an amazing grace! But just one year ago, I never imagined I could become a Christian.

32 Liang & Ling My wife and I got baptized by the same pastor, in the same place, at the same period. What an amazing grace! But just one year ago, I never imagined I could become a Christian. When I was a boy, I lived in small village in the middle of China. My family and I worshiped our ancestors and went to some Buddhism temples several times every year. Later, like other teenagers, I thought there is no God at all in our world, and everything only relies on our efforts and our family. After I studied and worked in Beijing, God touched me through and my wife. At our dormitory, my roommate read Bible to us several nights, but I thought that guy was foolish to believe in such a ridiculous legend. I never imagined Gospel could arrive at small town until my cousin told me she became a Christian and her life had changed a lot. I just felt happy for her, but I thought I had no a good and generous man from a very bad and mean one after he 30

33 however, I rejected it again and again. But God never stopped grace. Last year, my wife began to pass grace on to me. At first, I still hold Later, her testimony and my experience in Church removed my doub I remembered one day in April 2008, I was at home and surfing on the internet, and then somehow I got into a Chinese Gospel which introduce who God is and the relationship between God and human being. It said God is our creator and heavenly Father, we can pray to Him and He really listens to us. At that time I was waiting for my admission news from the universities that I applied. So I prayed to God: Finally, one month later, when I almost gave up, I got an from MU saying they still have one opening. Thank the Lord, He really answered my prayer. I came to America at 08/08/2008. After the first time I came to church, I felt so warm like I was at my real home, so I decided to be a Christian. Now I would like to end my you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to Ending Thank you, God. I was blind to know you, but you never gave me up; God, I was lost for many years, but you never stopped finding me. You led me to your road step by step, full of love and patience. God, we hope to grow in you and pass your grace on to let more people know you, the only true God. Amen. (Presented at Rochester Christian Church, IL, November 2009) 31

34 ******************************************************* March 29, 2009, Sunday Dear Baby Roo, You are gone. A part of my heart went with you. I feel so incomplete. Tonight, you are not here to be nursed. I expressed the milk and poured it down the drain because I am taking too much pain medicine and my milk would not be good for you. 32

Please forgive me, I have to send you away because I love you. I am too weak and in too much pain to care for you. For now, Hsiu-Ling A-Yi will be a better mom for you than I am able to.

35 ******************************************************* March 30, 2009, Monday Dear Baby Roo, Yesterday was the first day that you are away. I woke up this morning at around 4 a.m., your normal feeding time, waiting to hear you stir. Then I remembered that you are gone. My tears came down. I miss you so so much. Please forgive me, I have to send you away because I love you. I am too weak and in too much pain to care for you. For now, Hsiu-Ling A-Yi will be a better mom for you than I am able to. Please forgive me. Roo, Mommy loves to sing and I know that it's a special gift that the Lord has given me. But today I told God "Abba Father, I have no song to sing". ******************************************************* March 31, 2009, Tuesday Dear Baby Roo, The house is so quiet this morning. Your big brothers and big sisters are all in school now. There are only the sounds of Daddy and me typing on the computers and the whirling from the printer. It's too quiet. 33

36 Daddy closed the bonus room door by my bed, so that I will not see the empty crib. Roo, I miss your smiles and how you love to talk to me. I miss how you would be lying next to me, turning your little round head towards my direction, and staring me in the eyes without blinking as if you could look into my soul. I miss how excited you became when standing up with my hands supporting you. You were so happy and so proud of standing "on your own" even though you could barely balance yourself. I miss how the little red blotch on your left cheek moves up and down as you smile or talk to me. I know our Heavenly Father must have given you a special kiss right there just before He entrusted you to me and Daddy. Roo, I miss the not-all-pleasant smell on your head. Your big brothers and big sisters nicknamed you "little stinky head" because they love you and think it's funny. I remember one time Daddy was holding you and talking to you. He told you that your head does not smell so good because everyone kisses you on the head before we brush our teeth in the morning or before we wipe our mouths after eating. So he said that technically it's not your fault. Roo, there's actually another reason why your head doesn't smell so great. All the newborns have something called "cradle cap". It's basically a thick layer of dead skin (dandruff) on the top of your head because of the high metabolism babies have. You are growing fast and learning rapidly. Your brain absorbs information like a sponge and therefore the high metabolism. I know that if we washed your head more often, it 34

37 would smell much better. Please understand that Mommy could not even bend over by the sink to wash your head. On the other hand, Daddy was already overwhelmed by having to care for me and being both the "Mommy and Daddy" to all five of you while having to work from home. We were just trying to get by on a daily basis. So washing your head was not a top priority. However, it doesn't matter what the reasons are, you are still a sweet smelling baby to me, Roo. I hope that one day when you grow up, you'll come to realize that Mommy and Daddy love you very very much. And we try to do our best to provide love and care for the five of you. All other things are not so important. ******************************************************* April 1, 2009, Wednesday Dear Baby Roo, Roo, I know that God has been preparing my heart for the moment of separation with you all along. More than a week ago, I was listening to a sermon on TV. A message just got stuck with me that "Whatever you want the most, you have to let go before the Holy Spirit can start working in you". Also, when Ihui A-Yi and some brothers and sisters came pray for me last week, she had a vision of little Samuel being sent to live with Eli the Priest at the Temple. These are the reasons why Daddy and I are at peace when Hsiu-Ling A-Yi and Yao-Chien Shu-Shu offered to take care of you for us. Roo, Hsiu-Ling A-Yi and Yao-Chien Shu-Shu are a godly couple and our dear friends. They are Mommy and Daddy's true sister and brother in Christ. We know that you could not be in 35

38 better hands. Mommy just pray that you will be good and not become a heavy burden for them. For you see, they are already busy with their own children and also being a pastor to their church's congregation. Roo, I pray that you will give them lots of smiles to comfort them when they become physically and emotionally tired. I also pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort and refresh them when they are weary in spirit. Mommy wants you to remember that there is no greater love than God's love for all of us. And Hsiu-Ling A-Yi and Yao-Chien Shu-Shu are demonstrating that love to the greatest extent humanly possible. Auntie Shwu-Meei and Auntie Taiyun came to pray with me today. They both encouraged me that this is the best arrangement for the time being. I know that in my heart, too. But it's still difficult emotionally. I miss you, Roo. ******************************************************* April 2, 2009, Thursday Dear Baby Roo, I had a long conversation with Hsiu-Ling A-Yi today. From her detailed questions, I know that she has so much love for you that she wanted to do everything just right. She also told me that you are welcomed by many in Peoria and that brings additional comfort to me. Roo, we are so blessed to have Hsiu-Ling A-Yi love and care for you. 36

39 ******************************************************* April 3, 2009, Friday Dear Baby Roo, Yao-Chien Shu-Shu took a lot of pictures of you and posted them on his web site for us to see. I knew that they would love you very much. You look so cute when you smile. These pictures really brighten up my day. *********************************** April 4, 2009, Saturday Dear Baby Roo, Hsiu-Ling A-Yi called and told me that you are lifting your head all the way up when on your tummy. See how fast you are growing? Mommy is so proud of you. Just before bed time when Mommy was tucking them in, big brother Aaron asked me that if when you come back to us, you are already a little toddler, then we will have missed all the mile stones in your life. I told him that then we'll just have to pray extra hard for God's healing for Mommy. I do feel better physically now. I know that God is helping me regaining my strength day by day. I pray that we'll soon be able to go get you back. We love you very very much. 37

40 ******************************************************* April 7, 2009, Tuesday Dear Baby Roo, Daddy and I went to Christian Fellowship Church to vote today. I had to walk slowly with Daddy's help, but I did it. I want you to know that ever since Mommy and Daddy became citizens in 2005, we have never missed a vote. It took Mommy 20 years to become a citizen. I was determined to exercise my right and privilege in spite of my pain. Mommy also wanted to cast my ballot for you and your brothers and sisters. Because whatever the policy makers and leaders decide will have a long term effect on our lives; and we are the ones decide who will be our policy makers and leaders. I cast my vote to express my values and morals. This part will need to wait until you are much older for you to understand. ******************************************************* April 8, 2009, Wednesday Dear Baby Roo, Yao-Chien Shu-Shu uploaded more pictures of you. You are getting better at lifting your head up. Amos and Anna also love you very much. That brings me great comfort. I showed your big brothers and big sisters your new photos. Sarah Jie-Jie told me she misses you. I miss you too, Roo. How I wish I could hold you in my arms, and smell your baby scent, and talk to you, and sing to you. Mommy misses you very much. 38

41 ******************************************************* April 9, 2009, Thursday Dear Baby Roo, I know this is a lesson in faith for me. God had to allow the circumstances to take away the things that I treasured the most (my children and my health) before I was willing to lay down my pride. Just two days after you went to Peoria, and big brother Noah and big sister Sarah started going to school full-time, God asked me "Do you love me more than these?" I did not want to answer Him. Throughout that day, God asked me several times, "Do you love me more than these?" Finally, I cried and told Him that "I cannot say yes, Abba Father". I thought I loved God, but it was not a complete love. That day, I finally began to really empty myself and be filled by God's presence. I have been down spiritually yesterday and today. Somehow, the Lord showed me (Habakkuk 3:17-19) several times. I know it's meant for me. Habakkuk 3:17-19 (New King James Version) A Hymn of Faith 17 Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls 18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, 39

42 I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 The LORD God is my strength; And He will make me walk on my high hills. ******************************************************* April 10, 2009, Friday & April 11, 2009, Saturday Dear Baby Roo, n, came over Friday afternoon and brought over a whole bunch of things for all the children. She even brought a little bunny for you. Sarah Jie-Jie put the bunny in your crib. It will stay there until you come back. My friend, Mrs. Carolyn Hall, came over Saturday afternoon, and brought 5 grocery sacks of food for us all, including a complete grace is more than sufficient. ******************************************************* April 11, 2009, Easter Sunday Dear Baby Roo, The Easter Lilies that my friend brought over helped me re- participating in the Sunday worship on TV, my faith took a leap. The sermons encouraged me tremendously and I was able to 40

participate in 2 worship hours without feeling not able to bear the discomfort. Our God is the God for the living. He is with me m. I just really need to hang on to His promises.

43 participate in 2 worship hours without feeling not able to bear the discomfort. Our God is the God for the living. He is with me m. I just really need to hang on to His promises. ******************************************************* April 25, 2009, Saturday Dear Baby Roo, Our whole family has been waiting for this day to come. You are coming back to visit. We are all excited! Little big brother he wondered if you can come home for good. You were so tired after 5 hours of car ride and you seemed to be inconsolable when you cried. After trying to hold you, rock you, and give you the pacifier, Daddy was frustrated and just put you down in bed. You stopped crying immediately and went to sleep. An hour later, you got up and had only 2 oz of milk. Then you were inconsolable again. Daddy again put you down in bed around 8 p.m. You then slept like an angel until 1:00 a.m. We forgot how tired you must have been from the long trip. 41

44 ******************************************************* April 26, 2009, Sunday Dear Baby Roo, You are doing so much better today. You are no longer stressed out like last night. You got up twice last night. Daddy jumped out of bed as soon as he heard you cry, to prepare a bottle for you. I enjoyed watching Daddy talking and playing with you, and how you responded with coos and smiles. Daddy decided that all the children would stay home today instead of going to Sunday worship, because he did not feel comfortable leaving me home alone with you. Mommy is not well enough yet to take care of you all by myself. Can you see how thoughtful and caring Daddy is? I pray that one day God will prepare for you a husband who cherishes you like Daddy cherishes Mommy. While you were napping, we had a family worship at home. When Mommy was deciding what to talk about for our family worsh the book in the middle, and guess what topic I found? It was is devotion for a special reason. I am reminded to pray for you that one day you will be as sweet, thoughtful, friendly, helpful, and generous to others as this special Bible character. It is far more important to be beautiful and kind on the inside than on the outside, for God looks at our heart. Roo, everyone took turn holding you and playing with you. We all love you. Little big sister Sarah told Hsiu-Ling A-Yi that 42

she could bring you home to take care of you, but she cannot keep you. That was very cute and just warmed my heart. Daddy and I have talked about when to bring you back home.

45 she could bring you home to take care of you, but she cannot keep you. That was very cute and just warmed my heart. Daddy and I have talked about when to bring you back home. We think maybe we can do it the 2nd week of June, depending on come. I am no longer sad, for there is hope. ******************************************************* June 29, 2009, Monday Dear Baby Roo, You are back to stay! You did so well on the 5-hour car trip. complete. 43
