Leaders who care...

I am very thankful for all the adults in my life who have helped me along my growing up years. I know of many people who yearned and prayed for mentors, but so far they have none. God has different learning methods for each of us. I know of friends who learn tremendously from books alone. And that is God's grace and provision for them to learn.

God knows I need people to interact with, bounce ideas off, and to sharpen me. So He brought into my life many wise people who have a heart for me. Some of them stayed longer in my life than others, but many are there to journey with me. I am thankful for each of them, no matter how long or short their stay was.

I never knew how blessed I am to have a leader personally accountable for me. Someone responsible for me, checking on me, challenging me, comforting me, assuring me, rebuking me (though I don’t enjoy this part of it).

Thank God for Margaret and Lee Yin who are now journeying with me at this stage.
Thank God for Robert, Kia Yuan, Oliver who cared for me and stood up for me in their fatherly ways and gave me comfort and advice.
Thank God for Uncle Kim Chye who looked upon me as a daughter when he was working as a care-taker in Nav office. I miss him...
Thank God for Michael that he still cares for me ever since he first took me for bible study 10years ago.
Thank God for Chung who influenced me a great deal in my pre-adulthood years, patiently building me up for the work.
Thank God also for people who periodically drop by me to share and care, Roy & Bee Lay, Pastor Andrew, Pastor John.

Serene is right... I do have many people who love me... And in that I should take comfort and be secure.. =)

Father, continue to give people to care for me. Help me to learn from each of these leaders in my life that I may share the life that they have poured into me.
