Had a good time with my family over the weekend....
we went to the MCC Ubin Resort. It is a nice place. I think it's really God's blessing. we sang karoake, ate dinner, had soccer game.
and today, we walked for quite a long distance and cycled till our bums hurt.
Thank God for the family bonding. cool.....another one to come next year!
gd to go every year.

my journey and doing what I am passionate abt
hahaahaaaa
the last few days were packed with crazy stuff.
First, i almost went crazy as things were not happening the way I thot shd be....
then I quarrelled wif my bro....
then i had gatherings wif frens tho I felt a bit down.....and had no money (thus felt really really poor)
i. realise i need to scrimp again (haha, it's like after 2 yrs of scrimping, after i got new job, entered into a buying "spree" for the new job)
ii. relationship wif bro deteriorated till there was no trust nor love bet. the two of us...it was so bad
iii. going crazy as I felt that God let me down....and He was all that I "relied on" and had....
Presto....then came God's help, to first let me rest my silly thots, send pple to divert my attention and brought me to pple/places that help me to realise what a mess i got myself into----worrying and depressing attitude.
What was the happy me?
Why did I bec. so joy-less and easily confused?
i guess the burden is almost invisible---weighing down on me.
NEXT, i threw away the burden and kept directing questions to God, why this, why that, and gave God many "arrows" of my negative emotions.
I cant believe God would be able to answer my every question; need.
then on Sat, from pastor's sermon, i realise i am lost. A lost sheep......forgetting the shepherd, went to graze somewhere and got lost....and just bec. irritatingly ashamed.
Thank God all the above craziness, quarrel wif Bro......etc. were resolved.
**************
kay, abt doing the thing I am passionate abt....i am not really doing now.
I am just working.
Hahaha....never felt so weird before....thank God too.
COZ i always pride myself for being "different". yes, i need a time of quietness and non-excitement...
a period to slow down and not be super-duper "know-it-all"....maybe i shd just "evaporate"
No lah, just too eager at times,
now resting,
just floating,
then see how
maybe the most surprising stuff will happen while I am at rest....
serious.
And when i am mature and ready [defined as sure] to just do it!
definitely will do the thing i am most passionate abt

a passage frm the bible
John 14
Jesus Comforts His Disciples 1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Jesus the Way to the Father 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9Jesus answered: “Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit 15“If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever– 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”
22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
23Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
25“All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
28“You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. 30I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me, 31but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
“Come now; let us leave.

the world continues to shock me
i guess I am really a sheltered person running away from things which I cannot handle
i dont understand, dont want to know it cant be changed, dont feel like waiting for change, dont trust God when things dont happen.................
it's so scary......i wish i could disappear immed. and go up to see God in Heaven
God, you must have a plan for me and will take care of me whenever I feel down!

new workplc, new colleagues
i miss my ex-colleagues, the kids....
sigh, the new work place has nice colleagues but there's little time to gel as they seldom eat lunch.....
thank God there's a colleague who is nice and two of us always eat together, she is like a mentor to me....willing to share. And, fortunately she's outgoing and quite direct.
I had a short time trying to adjust back to the corporate world....some politics.
NEED lotsa wisdom at work to know wat to say and not to say!
i cannot feel the passion in this job though........i was thinking yest. whether I should reconsider what I should do for work.
Working is meant for survival....but I cannot do work for work's sake. I need to feel passionate abt wat I am doing!
this week is quite "nua" at work for me as there is not much stuff to do nor meetings to attend.....
I did say something wrong today. Jia lat.....must really watch my tongue.
Wisdom, Lord! i want to be wise
