And everyone moves on with their own lives.
I type this here because I know no one reads this anymore, and because I need to blow off some steam.
I wish I had friends who would be friends with me in any season. Not give lame excuses. Like moving on or whatever nonsense. True friends. I wish I would be appreciated for the things I do. When I serve, when I play music, when I sing, whatever. Any small appreciation for the things I do or try to do, at least. I may not be the best but I try. I wish people would care. I felt touched when Ken gave me earphones to appreciate my servitude. Really touched. And I wondered, which of my friends would do that for me? My so-called close friends? Close friends, bullshit. Friends? Don’t even know that.
Tired of being the one who keeps having to try and say sorry. Why don’t you guys try. Why is it always my fault.
I guess in the end I decided that I deserve to be the only choice, and not just an option, a maybe.
And also, that it isn’t so important at all in light of so many other things that are happening and are gonna happen in my life soon.
It strikes me tt God works in the strangest ways. Thank You God.
Shield of Faith: We must always be vigilant in upholding this shield that God has given us so we will not be attacked. Our Shield of Faith is our first line of defence; it requires strength to hold up, and once we weaken, it is easy for the enemy to attack us. So, have a little faith.

I find life has returned back to somewhat stable nomalcy. With my steps of faith somewhat taken (but definitely not ‘there’ yet) I finally feel like God has brought me back to stable ground. The question is, what next, Lord? I need to seek continually His will in each step I take.
Qt ystdy brought great encouragement with it. It spoke of Holy Spirit as our constant, willing help through all things in our lives. Romans 8:17-28. Give it a read sometime. Especially the literal Greek meaning of the word ‘help’ – intriguing! Greek is so deep, man.

I have been learning alot through the new relationships in my life. About commitment. About love. I think I’m starting to know more about it. How ups and downs are the norm. How to accept and change. And many things.
Life is so short.
“Like Sarah says, twenty good minutes here, forty good minutes there, it adds up to something beautiful. The trick is when things aren’t so great, you don’t junk the whole thing. It’s okay to have an argument. It’s okay that the other one nudges you a little, bothers you a little. It’s part of being close to someone.
“But the joy you get from that same closeness – when you watch your children, when you wake up and smile at each other – that, as our tradition teaches us, is a blessing. People forget that.”
- Have A Little Faith by Mitch Albom
As I sit here at Cathay starbucks, sipping a vanilla latte, reading a book, it occured to me how blessed this Singaporean people are (and I among them). That we could enjoy air con and coffee in such a place.
And then I felt so relaxed and blessed. That I had the time and money to sit here and enjoy and read about God. Indeed God has blessed me so much, even in such minute moments in my life. Just a latte and a book – God provides just what I need.
So I’m back from mission trip. And alot of things hve been happening all fast and furious recently. You’ll really need to talk to me for a good few hours to get the full drift of what I’ve been up to. But by God’s grace, I know what I’m doing everything for now and how to do it. Truly He is my ever present help in time of need – I got an answer recently during my music team retreat to a pressing issue. And I believe He will coninue to deliver!
