Working...

To my surprise, it seems blogger can now work in the office.

Cool. Means I can blog during my free time even though I signed an oath of secrecy to the armed forces.

While sms-ing one morning on my way to work, something hit me (not literally).

Why do I say, "I'm going to work. I've got work. Have a good day at work!"

It dawned on me that even in a small way, I was setting myself up to rely on my own effort. Work, work, work.

Just a simple word can make a whole lot of difference.

I've decided that I'm not "going to work" anymore - I'm going to the office.

I'll be camping in the office today. Wheeeee!

The Reminder

Actually, about what you said, I did come across it on one of your entries when I was going through it all.

Thanks for the reminder.

"Even for an audience of one."

-----

Been going through some incredible changes in the past few weeks.

As was aptly put by a good friend, "It's like finding yourself with a new-born baby and you don't know what to do with it."

Although there are things that I have to give up I believe that I will not be short-changed.

It's in His will that I want to be more than anything else.

Anyway, other than being mistaken as a canoe-ist, I've also been mistook as being from ODAC. Woohoo! There's always a first time for compliments of this nature.

I wonder whether I really look "quai". I have people I have not even properly met telling me that I look too quai to have an ear stud. Maybe I should scowl more? Always wear the Blue Steel look?

Thanks, Abba, for reminding me yet again how much You love me.

Love Is...

I believe that God demonstrates His love towards us everyday even in the little things.

Catching the last train or bus home...

Getting to eat western food in camp...

Hearing my favourite song...

I believe that these are Daddy's little, "I love you's" to me.

"If that is the case. What about the times when even the little things don't seem to go the way we want?"

You miss the last train or bus....

You oversleep and possibly might be late...

You're caught in the rain without an umbrella...

One thing about men is that our minds are finite. Only God can see the infinite. He can see the whole picture. Things happen and we might never know why but I know that all things happen for a reason - His reason.

Even when things don't turn out the way I want it to be, His love for me has already been proven when He sent Jesus.

He gives so much love and sometimes He loves us enough to give us the privilege to love Him back.

I missed the last bus... I get to walk home with You.

I overslept... You wanted me to have the rest that I was lacking...

I am caught in the rain... You want to remind me that You are pouring your blessings and love even though I can't always see it.

Love is a relationship. It is not a one-way thing. God is love and I love it that we can love Him back.

Growing Up

It's ironic how I want to be treated as an adult and yet there are some things that I'd rather be done for me.

It's so easy to just lie down and tell my parents, "There's this 'grown-up' problem, please solve it for me."

I realize that if I want to be treated like an adult I have to change the way I see myself.

I have to start doing things without relying on my parents.

I'm certainly not there yet but I thank God for His favour and for giving me courage to even choose to take this step and even start walking on this path.

It's time to grow up.
