I went to my home town two weeks ago. It had been one year since I went there last time.

I was so excited to see my family, to see how much I have grown as Christian and to share God's love with my family but at same time I was a little concerned about staying with my mother.

It was so nice to see my family. I had good time with them, specially with my nieces and nephews. I could tell them about God and Jesus and give them bible and some Christian book. One of my sisters children have been giving thanks to God before each meal since I visited them last time. That was a big encouragement. They always asked me to pray with them.

The hardest part of this trip was my mother. She had kept asking me to go out with one Japanese guy. (The guy is her friend's son. I met him on the second day.I believe my mother and her friend set up without telling me) I kept told her that I am not interested because he is not Christian. She got upset and told me that I need to listen to her. I was really tired of listening to her. It made me so sad. Because my relations with my mother have never gotten close I always feel I have never been a good daughter to her.

I understood that she wants me to marry and have some children. I do want to make her happy as her daughter but what she wants is not what God wants. I want make God happy more than anyone else. He is the one who found me and who loves me more than anyone.
