I'm about 2 weeks away from my last day at CPF. Yay. Handing in my resignation was one of the happiest things I've ever done in my life. And about 10 days later I found a new job. Double yay.
24 hours from now I'll be listening to a sermon in Malacca. Church camps serve as the halfway mark of the year. It's really fast, six months since the time we counted down and shot party poppers in every direction.
Everytime I think about how time flies, I would think of the milestones I've passed in my life. All the people I've been with, the different phases of my life will go through my mind and I'll remember the horrible things I did and the countless times I almost drowned in suffering.
Time to pack and sleep or I'll never make it on the coach tomorrow.

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know
Chorus
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way
A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road
Chorus
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ
-Casting Crowns-
It hit right at the spot. I think many of us are guilty of this. Being selective of who we talk to. And as though being selective isn't sinful enough, we pick and choose base on the world's standards. Somehow, people with better looks, better careers, richer, more charisma get the 'friendship', others are left alone or gossipped about. Sad enough, we dare call ourselves the Body.

Its mother's day weekend and I've heard testimonies about different mothers, so here's mine.
Mommy is one of the few people that I've always admired. When I was little, my father went overseas and thus, my mother had to bring me up single-handedly. She is a person loyal to her roles as a mother, daughter and husband. She is responsible and prioritised me over many other luxuries she could have had.
I always wonder how my mother could cope with a full time job and bringing me up. At then, she never seemed to be worn out or exhausted. Somehow, there was always time and energy left for me. She was commited to teaching me morally and academically.
My mother pushed me to be the best that I can. She would point out my mistakes and comfort me when I feel upset about something that I might have done wrong. All this for me, my mother never expected anything in return.
In my family, mother is always the one bearing the brunt of all the fights and arguments. Being one with the most patience, she always play the role of a peacemaker while the rest of us make warmongers.
Now that my mother has found her refuge in Jesus, she recognises that I am a gift from God. I am not hers alone to keep. She constantly prays for me and is always supportive of the decisions I make in my life.
When I was unlovely, she loved me. When everyone seem to hate me, she was kind to me. When it felt like the world was against me, she comforted me. It is true that mothers are a glimps of heaven.
Happy mother's day!

I live!!!
Much has happened since my last post and time is NOT on my side so I won't be blogging so often. I'm struggling hard to balance BSF and 'e-group' and have no time to write anymore. My energy is draining hard too.
Last Saturday, it was Robert and Yeeling's wedding ^^
From last month till today, I'm constantly reminded that our struggles are not in vain. In BSF, Romans 5 mention persevering. And having read Job's account, I think what can't kill you will only make you stronger. Then reading Corinthians about Paul's suffering made me realise whatever injustice there may be in my work, it is nothing compared to what these people suffered. Life is challenging.
In the last week I saw a rainbow 3 times. Rainbows always attract me and remind me of God's covenant.
