Mei Hong

I have been meaning to blog about a friend of ours, mei hong. I want you to be reminded of her and pray for her. We have talked about her before, when we first met her she was with her husband and some friends of theirs in a restaurant, and one of the friends was a smart little girl who was singing in English and caught our attention. We got to know them better in the weeks following that meeting, and found out we had some things in common: love of language, music, travel, yoga,etc. Sometimes the friendship between us would feel comfortable and warm for a while, but sometimes we would sense a lot of tension coming from mei hong or her husband when we would meet up with them outside. Then one day, mei hong came over to help us negotiate with our landlady, and she told us: she and he were divorced now, it had already gone through, and she was looking to purchase a new place. Shocked we were, to say the least. But we noticed that night, a new openness that had not been there before. She had always changed the subject when spiritual topics came up in the past, but now she was ready to talk. We talked for a long time that night, about how God has always been the anchor for our marriage and for each of us individually. She was receptive. We were amazed.

Then later, when she told us she had purchased a house, we told her that we were planning a move as well, and then it was time for all of us to be shocked when she said that the place she had purchased was in Xiao He Shan, and we said, that is where we were moving also!!!

This will be installment one, as phoebe is crying. More to come about mei hong soon.
