Living out Faith

This week, I emailed a lady from church to join the ladies to go to a drug rehab centre. To be really honest, it felt quite daunting to join a bunch of ladies that I've not met before and even more daunting to interact in Canto to a bunch of ladies who are recovering from drug addiction. But yes, I garnered up my courage and told myself, I'm not doing for myself, it's for Jesus' glory. So this morning, I woke up bright and early to go to the gym for a class. Am a little amazed at myself for bringing myself to the gym. After gym, I went to meet the ladies to go to the rehab centre. I must say that I was a little apprehensive because I've not worked with teenagers before. But going there and listening to their stories, made me realised that I'm very thankful for my life and for God's guidance in my life. I could have easily ended up like anyone of those girls but with God's divine intervention, He steered me in the right path. When one of those girls said ...

Last week, Iris, a friend that I knew from church in Spore, emailed me asking if I could attend her wedding during the time that I'm back in Spore. Iris is getting married to Colin and I've known the both of them for ages and ages. Probably more than 20 years! Jacqui was home when I asked her about Colin and Iris and she told me that they were both in the same kindergarten class. I was blown away. So in other words, they practically known each other for almost their whole lives! After kindergarten, they were in the same class in Sunday School and probably hung out together in Youth Fellowship and stuff. Such sweet love! Oh of course, they only started dating like later, not when they were in kindergarten or anything like that. After being a witness to a wedding, I've actually become a little wary of attending weddings. Not that I don't believe in love and weddings but a marriage take a lot and a marriage is sacred in my point of view. But people have taken marriages so ...

My life is always in a limbo, I admit that. There are days that I wake up and wonder, what's with my life and why is it sometimes what I plan for my life, does not pan out? It has taken a totally different turn to what I thought is the best plan for me. Don't get mistaken, I'm not depressed or anything like that. I'm probably in a reflective mood more than anything else. Babe has taken on a job that takes him away from home a lot. And I probably see him like once every three or four weeks. It's kinda fine for me as I know that we're trying to work hard for our future. We speak on the phone every night and with technology, we msn each other at work. So we're connected as much as we can. However, sometimes, I wonder, why? What's God's plan for us? Sure, there are days that I think, maybe I should quit my job and join him and be with him. But the reality is that I love my job. I enjoy what I have now and Babe doesn't want me to quit too. He knows me...

Jacqui was planning to buy a camera when she came to Hong Kong and I thought that hiking might be a next way for her to play with her new toy. And so I emailed Mel and a couple others to ask if they wanted to go on a hike. Well, friends turned up and a couple actually emailed saying that they are turning up just to see me hike! Well, kinda flattered. So on Sat, we went and hiked on Dragon's Back trail. We started at somewhere near Stanley and ended up at Shek O. Don't ask me where, I just followed. I survived the hike. Was superbly tired too! On the hike, it brought back some memories. The times that I went on a hike, I can count by the fingers on one hand. The most recent was maybe 4 years ago when I was helping out in Sunday School camp. But the one that brought back the most memories while I was walking was the hike that I did probably 20 years ago or something like that. I was in Youth Fellowship and we went on a hike for maybe like 4 hours or more. It was brutal but fun. I...

Well, Babe has taken up a job that would probably away from home most of the time and before taking up the job, he was very concern that he will be away most of the time. He was worried that I'll be lonely and bored at home. But the nice thing, friends called up to check if I'm alright and started to fill up my social calender. I've been out almost every night for dinner or something and well, I even gotten myself double booked and decided that all my dates and appointments have to go into my iphone now. Can't believe how busy I've gotten. Don't even seem to have time to sit down to talk to Babe when he calls. And I've finally gotten off my fat ass to join a gym. Been thinking about it for about 2 years and have always want to join a gym because I like going for classes. So finally, took the plunge and joined it. Went for Body Balance and really had fun even though I almost tipped over a couple of times and my stomach muscles still hurt, I still love it! Sha...
