Little Victories :)

Was quite stressed over work lately. Even Immy said I am not as cheerful as before. But I am very thankful to my ST jiejie, who always know the exact words to cheer me on: "take this as an opportunity to know yourself, what you like and don't like, and identify areas of growth. Be gracious to yourself. There may be times you don't feel good about how you handle staff or situations, but learn to celebrate small victories and growth. See your staff as ministry..." I will!

And God encouraged me through the sermon today and sunday school. To love those whom I am serving, to rely on God, to not worry unnecessarily... Looking back on the days in London, I depended on God a lot and spent a lot of time with Him. And I have experienced His grace. I know, it is time to kneel before Him again and commit everything to Him. I am weak but He is strong. And if indeed God is with me, who and what else should I fear?

Gastric Flu..

Have been down with gastric flu for the past 2 days: vomitted 3 times, endless diarrhea, stomach cramps... cannot eat, cannot drink, cannot sleep..

I feel so weak.. :( I wanna get well...

People who care

As I grow older, I come to realise that be it good news or bad, I only want to share with people who care. True friends are those who will share my joy and carry my burden with me. They are always there for me, to cheer me on, to lend me their ears and shoulders. I feel safe with them. :)

I am glad that fortunately there are people around me who care deeply and sincerely for me. I thank God for each and every one of YOU! :)

To be worry-free

hmm.. 3 weeks into my work and I have discovered something new about myself... I can get very affected by work. I tend to think about an issue over and over and over when I get bothered by it. I think this is not very healthy coz it can make me lose sleep and also affect the quality of my time spent with friends ... hmmm...

I have decided to sing this song to myself whenever I get anxious over something:

Philippians 4:6-7 (New International Version)
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." :)
