Was blessed by dear ChaiLing with this article. Would like to share with all who need it.An extract of the article...
"Being single is a time to learn of God and o ourselves, a time to discover who are in Christ, and to grow in Christlikeness.
It is a time to be zealous fr good works and involved in ministry to others. Being single has a magic of its own that should be enjoyed in its time because once passed it may not return.
There is nothing quite as sad as a woman now married who regrets what she could have been and done with her life while single. All was lostfor the sake of hurrying to be married without consideration for the plan or work of God.
Every season in life has its wonder and beauty of its own."
Enlightening and encouraging.. May all who need it read it and be blessed.
On a more personal update. My work has been fine, colleagues are also fine. Once in a while some complains, but overall ok. Still adjusting. I believe once I have adjusted, I will enjoy my work even more. Most of the time, its getting the hang of things and how they are done.
I think I do enjoy my work. Because time flys while at work. The week flys pass without really me noticing it. So I guess that's a good sign that at least I am not looking at my watch and waiting for the day to end.
More learning to do. Everyday is some learning about myself and to grow from what I observe and do.
But it gets tiring when there are meetings after work, and more meetings on Sat. Saturday is like another work day when I wake up at 630am and only reach home at 9pm. Ministry, ministry, ministry, church. If I have not been involved in ministry since young, I am not sure if I would be in ministry now. The demands are indeed high. No wonder so many working people find it hard to commit to ministry.
The demands that the world put on us is great. And many get distracted by the different demands when there is no focus.
May the Lord God be my focus. The anchor of my soul, in whom I do all things for His sole purpose and desire...And may the joy of the Lord be my strength...

What amazes me..
As I look at Ling and Ruth.. It amazes me to see how cousins can be so close.. like friends.. really very sweet..
I looked at the older girls.. It amazes me to see how far our friendship has gone. The meet up was just like old times, as Ling said.. It was fun..
But beyond the fun, I hope there are more things that they picked up through the time together.. It was not structured.. What I hope to teach I didnt. Because what was lacking in the girls is not knowledge, but fellowship. They hardly get to meet as a group now. Such combined PT are precious. But what little that I taught through the bible, and the many things said that was not from the bible, I hope they caught something. I also hope God will use it to bring growth into their faith.
你在许多见证人面前听见我所教训的，也要交托那忠心能教导别人的人. 2 Timothy 2:2.
My desire is to see them teaching others what they have heard from me. To teach others who will also be faithful to pass the message on.
Robert reminded me at DMT that what our girls see us do, they will do. What is in our hearts, they will catch on. One bit that I hope they will catch on, is the desire to invest in young lives for God.
I recognise that God has a special plan for each of them. Will they all stay to be laborers, I dunno. God is the one who send laborers into the harvest field. I am only responsible to be a laborer.

Weekend work
Saturday, 9pm.. Here I am doing preparing for a workshop on Monday. I wonder if that's my life for the next few years? I am quite opposed to bring office work home.. But yet.. I hope that I may be able to manage this aspect of my life better..
Something very sweet which Serene did for us..
One of the picture I got cut off.. I thought I was not in the picture with them until I realised that it was the same pic but diff design.. How blur can I get? And till this day, I still dunno what they mean by getting the pic published? Is it really published? Then can I get to see it somewhere?
Anyway,such nice pictures are hard to come by.. =)
