Enjoying this afternoon all by myself in the lab. Feeling all romantic and free-spirited with music playing in the background. =)

Went to Joseph's house yesterday for camp/DM meeting. Was welcomed into a lush and green environment, greeted by sculptured animals of the wild. There were jaguars, turtles and giraffes, and oh yes, elephants. ha.. The home was warm and inviting. A tad too small for 4 people but comfortable i think. Nice colour schemes tho.

BBQ was nice but many left early due to family commitments. Tempted to go back to my never ending work too but I couldnt. Dear and I told the Lord before that even if the whole world forsakes Joseph and the Youth ministry, we will not. We started it out with him for the past 2 years, we are going to continue to build as long as we can :)

On the way home, heard Sophia and Sharity talked about cell and the younger ones. A little startled by the remark made by sharity to Eileen about cell being rotten fruit. However, I dont think cell is like a rotten/overripe mango but I see that it is rather like a normal cell cos every church has its fair share of people like that. Our job is to continue to love them and care for them and guide them to the right path, whether they listen a not. How do I bring across the message that we were all like this in one way or another an we are still like this once in a while. Seeking attention, self before others, boasting, self-righteousness and lots of other weaknesses. We are all guilty of a lot of them. How do make them proud of their cell despite the fact that no one's perfect. How do we love and not judge? To love and not criticise? To work rather than talk? May the Lord enlighten us.

Happy Children's Day!

Everyone deserves a break on this day. =) Let the little child in you come out if you have hidden him/her in some dark recesses of your life for a looooong time. It's good to be child-like. Today officially marks the end of our one week break. What break? haha..

Cant believe it, 1 whole month passed by without me realising it. Well actually I do, just that I prefer not to take stock of it. I try to live life day by day, wishing and praying that FYP would just end soon. It's such a mentally and physically draining process! Dr Tham must be so pissed with me so many times (I cant rem!) that sometimes I'm simply too discouraged to explain myself for the many boo boos I've made. =( But oh well, the whole process had been tough but enriching. I learnt the different aspects of research work and realised perseverance, passion and curiosity will push you on. However, I still wish that it will be over soon cos I want to spend my time on more productive stuff like finding out the condition of my flock and planning for cell!

More projects and assignments up ahead. Praying and persevering for God to develop something out of me during this stressful period of time.
Just led prayer meeting last Friday, shared on Spiritual hunger (1 Samuel 1:1-20 and Matt 5:7) and felt the Lord renewed my own hunger and need for him in my life.
Dear and I were a little disappointed about the attendance, but God reminded me that it doesnt matter because what's most impt. that the people who may need to hear the message are there. Was nervous cos I DONT LIKE TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC. but I'll try to do anything for God, as long as it is to give him glory and to train myself to come out of the comfort zone, I will do it. If i take my focus off myself, He will do a mighty work in the hearts of his people.

It's going to be a long remaining sem and I need a lot of stamina to juggle work and ministry. May my zest for God not stop and my love for the people not cease to run dry.

14 months more to go for D-Day! =) Think new house, flowers, dresses, candles, smiles, tears, love, new life ahead!
