Soli Deo Gloria

Lots of tots in my head ...

Lots of experiences gained ...

But to put them into words ...

I am having difficulty expressing them ...

Maybe, I should try ... to describe everything in a generic way ...

I had lost my bearings for quite a while and I have now found it again...

Hence, I felt more at peace ...

More at peace to deal with what ever happen in each day ...

More at peace to say that all these are just noises ...

They will pass as long as I keep still ...

Keep still and focus ...

Focus on why I made the initial choice ...

Focus that what was promised is in the process of being delivered ...

Patience, Patience and patience ...

Like what my sister shared with me ...

"The darkest of the night is the break of the dawn" ...

*big grinz . . .

Saw the doc on Friday.

Not really good news as the actual situation was worse than what he thought.

Asked me how i felt during the week - nothing.

After going through the results, i can only be thankful that it is not cancer.

thankful that i discovered it now and not ten years later, when my kids would be like only ten years old.

scheduled to go for a minor op somewhere in August ... trust that everything will be well as my heavenly father is looking after me.

It’s only 0.79cm but there is already heart beat!

God’s creation is really amazing.

Please help to pray for my friend and his family that everything will be alright!

Looking forward to see a baby in the next 8-9 mths =)

The doc asked "aren't you glad that this is discovered now and not later?"

Well, I was like, "ya but last week was a nerve-wrecking one for me..."

hmm, thanks to my friends who are praying for me and are concerned abt my health.

I am OK ... actually, after worrying for two days last week, I felt that there is nothing I can do. So I just lift it all to my Almighty God to take care of things for me.

He is indeed faithful ... i felt lots of peace and by being really focusing on my daily life, for all the blessings that He gives me each day.

p.s need to go back for another appointment with the doc on Friday...

Last Sunday, we had a 'spiritual session' for choir ... mainly just reflection, sharing and p&w ... during the reflection, we were asked - how have we trusted God? How are we making use of our talents etc ...

I did not share openly but I was thankful for God's providence for us this year ... there were so many things happening - new life, new status, new responsibilities, a letter from a contractor, risk of getting our house infested with ticks, my car accident, my work environment and job scope ... all these, I lifted up to Him to help me through. I felt peace of mind when I did just that ... I am able to walk on better ...

But now, faced with another unknown, I am having mixed feelings. I know I have to be strong ... I should not jump the gun ... I am just hoping that everything will be well...

Lord knows best and He is watching over me ... Thank you Lord.

I really enjoyed looking at tinydot.org ... I can feel so much love in his photos - love between man and woman, love between the family members etc ... it's a good way to destress for me ...

Looking back and counting, it's coming to nine months ... in another 3 months, we will be staying in intercon again *coz that's the anniversary!* haha

Really thankful for these time... the journey has not always been smooth sailing but it is definitely enriching! =)


p.s this photo is taken by me (in case u think it belonged to tinydot. haha)

Be humble. Trust always and a great deal in divine Providence; never never must you let yourselves be discouraged, despite contrary winds.

- Saint Pauline of the Agonizing Heart of Jesus (1865-1942)


Life is full of surprises - good and bad... whatever they are, just walk on.

FORTITUDE ....

This word came to me when I accidentally 'gate-crash' a rosary session on Tuesday while the man was reciting one of the decade (can't remember which).

Things have been unfolding to me since last week (or maybe even before last week?) and I am making plans to take flight

Somehow, at the back of my mind, something tells me that I shouldn't be doing that...

Then I was chit chatting with Francis ... told him about my latest "joke of the day", told him my plans ... he gave me his 2 cents and the word fortitude came to me again...

Hmmm, what's the meaning of fortitude. I searched and found this:- Strength of mind that allows one to endure pain or adversity with courage.

hmmm, sort of ties in with the Psalm 33 that I read on Wednesday ....

Yes God, what must I do? Can you show me the way?

The group of Romans (with God Parents) whom God had called 2 years ago.

In a twinkling of an eye, two years just swept past us ... It felt like only yesterday when we sat in the class, not knowing each other really well, carrying our own baggage to class, not really knowing what to share etc ...

Over time, I have seen how most of us have changed - for the better ... God's love is really powerful and He heals all wounds - emotional, physical etc ...

It also seems like time stood still for us when we were going through the two-year process. All our energy, attention are on the process ...

After our baptism, it seems like we are all sent to go on a different path.

Some are busier with work (not because they want to but because things turn out like that), some went on to further their studies ...

Our weekly group gathering became smaller and smaller... maybe it is meant to be this way ...

Anyway, I am thankful for the beautiful journey that I had gone through ... and I am looking forward for what lies ahead ... Thanks be to God

Sometimes you cannot believe what you see; you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too – even when you are in the dark. Even when you are falling

~Page 61, Tuesdays with Morrie

hmm, from my pt of view, not so much of trusting other people but more importantly, trust God.

Labels: Life, Morrie

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

~from page 43, Tuesdays with Morrie...

I can't agree any more what this chunk of words. Many a times, I get too caught up with the world, thinking that by pushing myself harder, I am giving myself and/or the people around me a better life... that may not always be the case ...

Monday, I had a car accident... thankfully, no one was injured. So I had to start taking public transport - not so bad but need some getting used to...

Tuesday - attended two meetings in the afternoon ... it didn't leave any pleasant after-taste. I saw some ugly things and I hope that I won't end up like that. However, at the end of the day, I received my CD - so that sort of cheered up an otherwise tiring day (my neck and shoulders were aching like mad from Monday's accident)...

Wednesday - went to see doctor for the ache .. the doctor was cute ... I saw him earlier and I thought he was a little kid. haha. He did not give me MC but just some medicine and gel for my aches... went to the library, found the book - Tuesdays with Morrie and was reading it since after dinner...

Friends who know me know that I have stopped reading for a long time - probably I have realised that it is a waste of time reading novels, and other books are too boring... yes, this is the first time that I am reading a book continuously ... hope to gain new in sights to my life ...

Maybe it is a blessing in disguise that I am now without my own transport. I am able to do things that I would not be able to do with the car e.g, just drop off at any MRT station to go for shopping/library whenever I feel like it ...

i feel so honoured that pete n i were approached to help out with benny's wedding... we knew each other 2 years ago =)

helping them out makes me think about my own wedding preparation. we are now sharing resources, passing on to them what we had went through - what are the things that help us. Going through the excel file with the time schedule just makes me wonder - did we do that? or rather, dearie is so organised and detailed ... he managed to fill in lots of gaps in the excel spreadsheet. =)

can still remember that i was real busy with work during the preparation for my wedding. thankfully dearie was around to look after most of the stuff...

as it is my friend's turn to tie the knot, i hope that dearie n i are able to help them just as much as how the many nice people had helped us out for our wedding...

may our heavenly Father watch over them and bless this couple that they will walk with you forever and ever as a single unit, united by you.... amen. =)

Dear Girl

Cry if you want.

Scream if you feel like it.

You have made the choice.

No one knows if it is right or wrong.

I feel sad to see it come to an end but I am sure you know best since you are in the situation.

Let me know how I can help ... afterall, you have been there for me all these while.

Life is full of ups and downs and surprises ... just let go and let God lead you =)

Hug hug hug.
