Christian Photographers Community

Let's all leave messages here for our Mi...

My dear Mieka...

Tears are flowing.  I hate saying "Goodbye" so I'm not going to.  I will say, TTFN (Ta Ta For Now) or Till We Meet again, sweet Mieka!

I love you as if you were my own daughter and you are my new daughter in the Lord and I want you to always consider me "Mum".

Dear Mi, I pray that during the past weeks and months that you have indeed hidden God's Word in your heart.  Even though you might not have God's Word in writing in front of you to read wherever you are, you will always have it in your heart.  Please call on the  Lord to bring to your memory all of the verses that you have learned.

Remember, Mieka that there is a small band of people here that will be praying for you daily.

We love you so much and will be so happy to see that you return to us as soon as possible.

Just copying my post from another topic so it's all together...

Meeks - It is with terrible sadness that I bid a temporary goodbye to a friend that I will treasure forever.  I pray that you will keep your mind on Jesus Christ - He died to save you and will always be with you, even unto the end of the world.  If you have trusted Christ as your Saviour, He will NEVER leave you.  Count on it.  It's a PROMISE.  There may be times when the Lhasa feels like the end of the world, but Jesus promised to be there with you.  Your friends here cannot go with you, but we will keep you always in our prayers and in our hearts.  In the love of Jesus, God bless you.  We love you.    

Please come back soon and please do everything you can to get in touch with us.  

My sweet Mieka, I agree with what Pat and Nards have said.  I love you so much, little one, and treasure your friendship.  Please remember to always talk to Jesus in your heart, and know that He will never leave you nor forsake you.  You can talk to Him anywhere, anytime, alone or in the middle of a crowd, as He knows the very thoughts and intents of your heart.  He knows your desires, your plans, and your feelings---even your failures---and He loves you with an everlasting love.

I thank you for the time you have shared on CP with all of us, and for the time shared talking to you on Yahoo.  I will continue to pray for you and hope you will be able to contact us from Lhasa.  We will be counting the days until you are safely back with us.  ((((((((hugs)))))))))))  Much love and many prayers go with you, Mi!

Your "Grandma" Janet   (Or sister, or Mom, or whatever you need me to be!)

I pray you will have a safe trip to China and that will come back to us as soon as possible I will be missing you very much I love you and God Bless you little sister.

Dear, dear Mieka

:'(I am going to miss your posts and your presence here on CP.

I am so glad you have Jesus in your heart to carry with you.  You will be on our prayer list here at CP.

God bless you and may you find your way back here for a visit soooon!  

My sweet friend, I'll miss your cherry smiles and photos and graphics and the wonderful, thought provoking questions. Yes, I, too, will pray for you daily.

Love, Ruth Ann

Mieka,
I didn't get to know you quite as well as everyone else did, but you always seemed to care about everyone. you will be missed on this site.  i hope you regain internet access soon so that you may join us agian. we will miss you
sarah

Everyone has already said what my heart is saying about your leaving.  I will place your name on a paper in my bible and say a special prayer every Sunday at church.  Stay safe, happy and always close to Jesus.  God richly bless you with much love and strength until you come back home, dear Mieka.

Love you Meeks.

Be strong and Godspeed!

karmat  

Mieka:   I will miss your smiles, humor and also the questions.  

I to read your farewell with tears so please come back when you can.

May the Blessings of God always be in your heart as you now move on to another part of your life.    

All MY Love Ruth

It isn't necessary to repeat my IM here - you know how much you will be missed.  God help me to pray for you continually O daughter in our Lord!

Dear Mieka....... It seems as if I have just gotten to know you and now you are going away.   My heart echos the chorus that Pat posted...

Till we meet, till we meet
Till we meet at Jesus' feet
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

That chorus says that if we never meet on earth,  we WILL meet in heaven one day.
First day in heaven Mieka, I will meet you over at your mansion!  Does that sound good to you?!

2 Chron. 16:9    "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him"  

Remember  "Greater is He (Jesus Christ) that is in you, than he (satan) that is in the world.  1 John 4:4

Also "He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Phil. 1:6

Mieka,   I will remember you in prayer and ask God to build you up and quiet you with His love.

Deut 33:27   "The Eternal God is your refuge and underneath are the Everlasting Arms

May God Richly Bless You.


Love Ruthie

Mieka I have enjoyed reading your posts on CP.  I wish you the very best of God's blessings for your future journey in this life.

Posted by Rachelle in New Every Morning...



Meika

I know that I did not get the chance to really get to know you -before you had to go-but you were one of the first people to welcome me and talk to me when I was feeling a little down-Thank You for sharing a part of you..I hope that you know that we will miss you and that you are loved.

Rachelle

I don't know what happened but, somehow I got lost ...    I would like to copy my post to [size=+2]Dear MIEKA[/size] from NEM if I may:

MI~ If you look in here one more time before you have to leave, I want you to know just how much you have come to mean to me.  I have so enjoyed getting to know you and our chats from time to time (sometimes very late at night when you had trouble sleeping.  )  I will always love you and "keep you in my heart" and look forward to the time when you will once again be here for us all to welcome home!  I will be looking forward to your return and then we will talk about your trip north to visit in Oregon!    

Take care of yourself, my friend....    

All of our friends (yours and mine) have already spoken what is in my heart as well.  I love you, little sister ... Always remember the story of the starfish, okay?  Hurry back to us.

 

Hey Mi, my favorite little sis!!!  

Be strong, God will be by your side the whole time.  Pray and ask for strength and you shall recieve it.  

I will miss your cute post her on cp and I will miss chatting with you on yahoo and dpcfanatics.  I loved getting to know you and I can't wait to see you when you get back.  

Did I tell you I bought that signing book?  I did! Can't wait to show you my progress when you get back .  
<if any> hehehe

I wish I could have your address so I could write you every other week to keep you company.
_______________________________________________

Here are a few poems for you;

I simply want you to know how nice things have been since I met you,  how very special it is to spend time with you, and how much better life seems with you in my world.
             -Rowland R. Hoskins, Jr.
_______________________________________________

I 'd like to capture a rainbow and stick it in a big box, so that, any time you wanted to, you could reach in and pull out a piece of sunshine.

I'd like to build you a mountain that you could call your very own- a place to find serenity in those times when you fill the need to be closer to yourself.

I'd like to be the one who's there with you when you're lonely or troubled or you just need someone to hold on to.

I'd like to do all this and more to make your life happy, but sometimes it isn't easy to do the things I would like to do or give the things I would like to give.

So, until I learn how to catch rainbows and build mountains, let me do for you that which I know best...

...Let me simple be your friend!
              - J. Hancock

JennyX

Mieka, as Pastor Al said I also wrote a personal message to you yesterday saying how much I will miss your postings.  I will be praying for your safety in God's arms as you travel and will be looking forward to your return to us here on CP.  May God bless you in the weeks and months ahead.

Hi Meika--

Your friend
Rachelle

Mieka, dear Sister,
God will take you to many new places in your life,remember also that He goes before you!
Everywhere you go He is before, preparing good works for you to do, you will bless many people with your love and devotion to Him, never ever fear, for your life is hid in His hand.
Now may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace,
in His love,
Chris and Margit

         
Meiks Little fish Go with God..  Feed His sheep in China.  You will always be on my heart and in my mind.  We here have watched you grow and blossom in God's love.  You are indeed a beautiful Rose.

We will meet again in heaven, and we can indeed give you the biggest hug going.

We love you dear.

JudyB        {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Mieka............

If per chance you have the opportunity to read this farewell message, I have only one piece of Christian advice to give you.

Wherever you go Mieka, "PREACH THE WORD OF GOD TO THE LOST" Please always remember........Jesus Christ is the ONLY son of God, and that He died on the cross for you personally.  That He HAD to rise from the grave, and that He WILL return for you. No Jesus, no salvation.  There is NO life after death without Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone.

What wonderful messages for our sweet Mieka.

Mieka, I do hope and pray that you will again check in so that you will see these.

Love you so much,

Mum

I love you all SO SO much. I hope you are all happy and safe for my time away.

I thank you from my heart and I hope to see everyone here again soon.  

:)it is silly to cry,  :-\I will not cry,  :-[I will not cry,

I Love You Mum !

I thank you that you make this a wonderful place for me to read and learn about God.

Hi Mieka, A little bird named Pat told me you were here right now.  Just want to let you know how pleased I am to have met you and we will meet again...either here on earth or in heaven.  

I love you....little one!  Please come back soon.  Sure hope you find internet service so you can say Hi once in a while!!!

Love you,

[font=2Peas Heart's Delight]Etta Sue[/font]

Oh, Mieka, it's ok to cry.

I'm crying.

When you love someone as much as we all love you, it's ok to cry.

You go ahead and just cry and hurry back to us.  Promise?

Be strong and call on God's Word that you have hidden in your heart my dear little one.  

 
My heart is so broken with the wonderful love of friends here.

I can not read and I can not type when I cry.

I hope to see everyone again soon.  

Sweetie, go and dry your tears.  I just did.  I cannot type either from crying but I know that OUR Lord will bring you back safely to us.  

Did you see this?

And when you come back, we're going to have the biggest party ever!

Yes!!  Dear MIEKA ... We are going to party and party and party when you return!  I am keeping you in my prayers and in my heart all the time.  I love you, and Jesus loves you even more!  How do I know this?  Because the Bible tells me so!  Go with God, my friend...

It's certainly okay to cry.   I sure hope so anyway, because I've been doing a lot of it lately!  

Let's party now!!!!  We have had tears.  Let's have laughter!  

I'll bring the



We'll stuff ourselves and all wave farewell to Mieka!!




Even Ali will have her own party!!!




Just remember, Mieka!!!

Mieka,

I too will will greatly miss you and the ray of sunshine that you always manage to bring.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sue

You sure have left footprints on our hearts, MIEKA.  

I'm ready to party now, too!!!

Dearest sweet Mieka:

I cannot add anymore than what has already been added here.

You are missed already... and you have only just gone! I hope you will be able to access a computer at wherever you are., so you can link on to CP., and keep in touch with us.

So many prayers are going upward for you., please add my name to those who are praying for you., and of those who will be thinking of you each day!

Judy M. , and (((((HUGS))))

Well, my sweet Mieka...

I hope you come in again this evening.  I do hope too that you've had a good day even though it's been sad saying "Farewell" to all of your friends.

Even though we haven't met face-to-face, we feel that we have had that privilege.  We've grown to love you so dearly and now we'll be praying daily that you will experience the closeness of our Saviour in your life and in everything you do.

Have a safe journey my lovely friend.

Lovingly,

Mum

Will we ever forget your profile photo, Mi?

Yes, MI ... we'll certainly be waiting to hear from you whenever and wherever you can manage it!  Be safe, be loved, and know that we love you more than any words can say.  I know Jesus loves you more!  

Mieka, I do not know if you will get to see this post, you may already be on your way to China/Tibet, But dear little sister, do remember all of us here Love you very much and will miss you even more that you know or we can describe. Remember Jesus always and tell others about Jesus.

Love you .

I've been sitting here tonight doing searches on Lhasa, Tibet.  Looking at pictures and reading what I can find of where our Meika will be.  

I gave her a Gospel For Asia internet address so she can hook up with other Christians.  I have been trying to Find a missionary in that area too,  I am going to cbeck with a cousin and see if she can help too.

Gosh that's great Judy!

Melaura

Mieka  :
You and I got to be good friends in a very short time.
I love you so much and I feel bad because I didn't have more time for you.
Everything was happening all at once for me and is keeping me away from my computer.
But when you get back ,you and I will spend some time together .
You are such a beautiful girl and a beautiful person.
Put all your trust in Jesus , and he will take care of everything for you.
I heard a preacher say  " If their is something in your life that you don't like Change it , If you cant change it don't worry about it , The lord is in control and everything will be alright"I will miss you and I do love you and I pray for your safe return very soon.

Hello Mieka!  If you happen to look in here, please know that there are many still praying for you sweetie.

We all miss you so much.

Love

Mum

By the way, Pat - I know it's good to delete old prayer requests, etc., but I'd like to request that we NEVER delete this one!

Al, I so agree......and I think Pat does too.  Right Pat?

Heh, Meika....we love you, Princess.

Dear Mieka every days you are in my prayers
i also am missing you
Lots of Love RIA

Everyone here loves you far more than you know!

Aaaaww, Jane, that is so sweet!  And so true!

I send my love and prayers, Mieka. You're our CP jewel of the orient!

Ruth Ann

I'm so happy that I'm sitting here chatting with our sweet Mieka on Yahoo!

I don't think I'll sleep tonight now!

I love you Mi!  We'll be praying for you constantly till you come HOME!

We'll have to change the Title here... to WELCOME, Our dear Mieka.

Brother Al was the one who suggested we not delete the prayers for Mieka...good thinking Al...cause now she is able to communicate with us again!

(But only for one more day, Judy!  Then no internet or computers for maybe 6 months)

I don't plan on deleting this topic at all.

  OH HOW SAD

I sit here with a many tears and a giggle of a cows from Ms Etta Sue and frog dance and such a wonderful words from all my friends here.

I love you all with all my heart. I hope to make a more post today and tomorrow and to read in the forum for some time today. I go again back to the Lhasa in two more days. I get very sick there still and it is my hope I can stay there this time and not be so sick. It is a most highest city in all the world i think. I did live most all my life at the ocean so it is a bother to me now. But I will learn to do it.  .   I hope.

Mieka ~ I am so happy the cows gave you the giggles.  Tears of joy are great.  We don't want you to be sad.  I am so happy you got to visit with us once again.  Just praying that you visit often.  Take care, little one...we don't want you sick either.

MIEKA!!! Oh, how wonderful to see you post here this morning!!  I miss you so much, little one!  And here are many BIG HUGS for you!! ((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hey Meeks, I signed up for yahoo messenger, My name there is imablessed. Look forward to talking to you if I am up that late. As you know I am on California time. LOL

Hi MARILYN!  Is it okay if I add you to my list on Yahoo Messenger?  I don't often open it, but I will do it more often if I know I may have someone to chat with!  Mieka and I spent about an hour on there last night and it was such fun!  We often would be here together late at night .... we were both on West Coast time and that was okay....also we often would both be awake late (or very early)!


HI MIEKA ... TAKE CARE OF MY LITTLE FRIEND, I love you, you know!  

Hi Meeks!  I do hope that you look in today.  I know that you will be travelling tomorrow and I pray that the Lord will go before you and guide and keep you safe in His wonderful hands.

Remember that we love you so much.

(to the moon and back, Mi!!!)

Love

Mum

Mieka.....I can't get anywhere else on the web...at all...
I prayed to Jesus and He got me onto C.P. today...to see you again...

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU...ALWAYS..

See you In Jesus' Timing.  That's always perfect...

Jenny XXXXXX

Too late for Meika to see..but, dear sister, you are in my prayers.  Like Jenny says......we will see in His perfect timing.

MIEKAI am missing you but i love you dear Mieka
and you are in my prayers.
LOTS OF LOVE RIA

Well, we must remember to keep our very own darling Mieka on our prayer lists as she sets off for China tomorrow morning and then on to Tibet.

God speed dear little one.  We love you so very much and never forget that.  But you know what?  God loves you more and He will be with you always wherever you are.

Love from

Mum Scott.

  I love you all my friends here. I am so happy i did get to share a time with each of you. It is a time i will for ever treasure. I thank you God for the greatest gift of all it is Love.

My heart it is broken that I must go again, but i know I have so much work to do for my time in the Lhasa. I thank you God that I am not ascared to go here any more.  But i do still have a fears for the air plane,   I do not know why i do not like them much at all. It is a crazy bus i think.  I am very sad tonight that i am away for such a long time.  I thank you all for such kind words you share here for me.  Please please pray for the children in the Lhasa. Without a prayers they have not even hope. I want only for them to know of God and to seek Him with love in their heart.

I love you all..............and I love you God.  

Hi Mieka...

I'm glad that you had time to come here and post.

We'll keep this topic open for you and we'll continue to pray for you and the work that you are doing with the little ones in the school in Lhasa.

Hurry home to us!  We'll be waiting for you.

Hi Mieka nice that you have been home.
My prayers are going with you dear Mieka.
RIA

Mieka you are such a precious young lady.  My prayers are for you this day and may the Lord use you
in His Great and Mighty Work


Ruth

Mieka, remember that our love and prayers go with you, wherever you go, and that God has a beautiful plan for your life.  ((((hugs))))  I love you, little one.

Mieka, I'll be thinking about you as you travel.

I wish I had checked here earlier.       I'm praying that Meika will have a supernatural touch from God, a comforting touch but one that will fill her heart with joy because she will know that it isn't "Meika" that is going to Tibet, but God and Meika...together.

 Are we sure that Meika isn't an angel?

Pat.

Any updates on our dear Mieka?

Jenny

Mieka, if you happen to get a chance to pop in here, just remember we have NOT forgotten you, and we love you SO much.  ((((((((((many hugs))))))))))

I agree - we really miss you, Mieka. You are precious in His sight and He loves you (as do we).

Ruth Ann

I love you all SO SO very much.
Today it is September 7, 2004. It is a most fun summer for me for all my life. I did get to go to see some place that are only dream to me. I did get to meet some new friends in a far place and I did get to share a time with my family for most every day my time here. I did get to run on the beach and go for a very far on a boat. And I did get to share a time with friends I love with all my heart.

Every moment of every day I thank God for all that I love. I thank God for people and friends that help me in a prayers along my path. You all very close to my heart and a most special people in my life are my friends. It is a help to me to come and read here when I am sad. There is so much love here at the Christian Photographers it is a smile to my heart when I am sad.

I have SO much things will change in my life for this year and I am sad for some but not a scared. I go back tomorrow to live in the Lhasa for many month. I did apply to come to live in the USA and I think it is long time to know if I can do it. I know they work to make it more easy for me to come back, but I think it is not easy for me yet. My sister Jenna will have a baby soon in the December and I am soon “aunt mi  ” it is soon my only baby in my life and I am sad I can not be here for this most special day. But I will have a celebration and thank God for a new joy of family to my sister and her husband. I miss her so much at times, but I am SO SO happy to see her with a family and love all around.  (I love you Jenna, with all my heart  ).

I wish to talk about each of you for 100 pages and thank you each for a time I treasure and A kindness you did share with me when I need a help. Many words each you did give to me and they are a help to me still today. A giggle I will not ever forget when I was sad. And a moment to share with a friend when they are sad and want for them all the joy of the world at this time of sadness for them.

It is my prayer tonight that each of you know how much I treasure you as my friend. I thank you all that you share a time with me here and I pray that you are all in a good health for many month and I will hope to come back to share a time here again soon when I can do it.

I love you all with all my heart. 
And with all my heart,
I love you God.

Ok Meika You have this friend in tears.  You are such a wonderful young lady. 

I pray that God will bring to your memory all the verses in the Bible that you know.  I pray for you as you go home to Lahsa.  You are taking God with you remember that.

I will be so happy when you come here to stay.

Love you

Judy

  Mieka....I am so sad that you have to go back.  I look forward to seeing your posts and will really miss you when you are gone.  Please keep smiling and know that you are loved!

Mieka I am crying to have to go away again. You will be so much missed. Please come back to visit CP when you get a chance to be near a computer with the internet. I love you little Fish.
Marilyn

My precious Mi, I love you so much, and will miss you terribly.  But I know you have such a good heart, that you love God and you love us, and that you will come back to us as soon as you can.  So go with a happy heart, a smile, and your cheerful attitude, and you will be a blessing everywhere you go.  We will be waiting for the day when you get to come home to us again.

Remember, God will never leave you nor forsake you, and you have hidden His Word in your heart, even though the book is not allowed in Lhasa.  Please post whenever you get a chance.

and (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hug))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Mieka:   I have tears of sadness and tears of joy as you travel home.
           But remember that God is walking and flying with you all the way.



           Ruth

Mieka, here's a hymn that we've sung often in our churches when someone was going off to the Mission Field or to a far distant land.

I hope you appreciate it as it comes from my heart...

God be with you little fish ... I love you and Jesus loves you more!  Be happy wherever you go, MIEKA and know that we love you and pray for God's love to surround you always....don't ever forget the starfish, okay?  See you soon. 

Hello Dear Little Mieka,

I love you too.  God Bless you and watch over you 'til we meet again..  I will pray for you.

Jesus said "I am with you always." He will never fail you.  Keep talking to him.You are one of His lambs Mieka. 

Bye bye for now,safe journey,

Love, Jenny.   

Thanks to God, we know we will meet again, either in this life or in Heaven. Mieka, what a blessing you are!

Please let me know if you need a reference letter for your application, or if there's something else I can do, please let me know.

I'll be praying , not only WITH you, but FOR you.

Love, Ruth Ann

Meika:  Add my name to your growing list of C.P. friends here who love you, and can't wait to hear from you again.  As the saying goes...."we wait with baited breath" for your return!!! ...we are sad when you must leave.

we all love you, and pray for you.

Pat is your Canadian Mum...can I be your Canadian "Big Sister"?  If thats the case....you must call me JUDY...not Mrs. McKenna...LOL
