You've been missing out.

An angel

This evening when I was stuck at some Serangoon Central bus stop in the dark stormy chilly weather, feeling so sick with the fever and very bad cold, I looked to Him and asked, "God I am feeling so sick I can just faint here while I am stranded! Please help get me home safely... "

Then I bumped into Derrick See! I have NEVER met him in Serangoon Central before in all the many years I have lived around here. There he was, standing before me, greeting me with his cheery smiles and holding an umbrella that was big enough to shelter two people.

V: Derrick!
D: Hey! How come you're here?!
V: I'm waiting for my bus to go home. You?
D: I'm going to Macs to meet someone. You look stranded!
V: I am...
D: Poor girl! Take this umbrella!
V: .too touched for words.


And I managed to reach home without getting wet. As I was walking home in the rain, I remembered how we had this drama for one special service where they used the umbrella to depict God's shelter. Then I started to thank God for the umbrella, and the many times He has sheltered me from this stormy life's rain.

"... but He chose to pursue you with His outrageous love."

Sea of Lights

I never got a chance to truly celebrate mid-autumn festival. But today, I got the chance to celebrate it like I have never grown up. It was something simple, something laughter-filled. How nice it was, sitting by the lake, marveling at God's wondrous artistry while spending meaningful time with very dear friends.

I hope you had a splendid one too. :)

Just when I thought that JUMP!2007 is finally over, which means all the crazy email floods would stop, my hotmail inbox greeted me with this:



But I'm looking forward to a good time of gathering. I enjoyed serving with them. ALOT.

My boss :)

So, what's next? Ps Prayut's prophesy over me really got me thinking very hard. I spoke with him over lunch yesterday just before the team went back to Bangkok. It was such a dear and heartwarming conversation together with Simon helping with the translation. I just talked to Ernie about it online and this was what he said.

yesterday at waca pastor aaron shared something about seed
Ernie says: (10:48:05 PM)
the term planting a seed
Ernie says: (10:48:21 PM)
the word "seed" is more then just a plant seed that grows
Ernie says: (10:49:24 PM)
the explaintaion will sound a bit R rated but it kind make sense
Ernie says: (10:49:40 PM)
the seed in hebrew or greek is actually referring to sperm
Ernie says: (10:49:57 PM)
and as it is planted .... the results is reproduce
Ernie says: (10:50:18 PM)
so it makes sense as God always mentioned to be fruitful and multiply
Ernie says: (10:50:27 PM)
in every thing we do
Ernie says: (10:50:42 PM)
so this dancing seed in you ... will reproduce heaps of results
Ernie says: (10:50:46 PM)
and multiply!!!!

What have I done?

A whole week of 5AM "goodnights", doing all that has to be done and after the hurricane wind has swept by, my heart breaks to hear you whimpering in pain over the phone from the fever colds and I can't even be near you, much less hold you in my arms or simply be there for you.

How could I have been here drowning in work when I should have been taking care of you for the past few days? Surely earning the title of "A Filial Child" has to come before "A Diligent Student".

I have been chasing after the wrong things. Now all I really want to do is to put everything down and bring you out for a good meal, if you still have the health to appreciate it. Am I too late?
