I want to care for others...

I believe that being a good testimony is largely how I live my life as a Christian. Often I find myself struggling to be the person I want to be and fighting the devil inside me.

I do pray that I would change my undesirable attitude although mentally I know that the turning point is near.

Also I want to care for others, like Jesus cares for me. (that is indeed a challenge)

Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely. I can easily identify who my best friends are. They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person. Friends are essentially different from acquaintances. Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Love is Kind

So I went jogging and insisted on continuing even when the heavens gave me clue that it'll pour anytime soon. It rained and I was drenched. Since it was getting late, I had to walked on by to get home. While I was at the traffic junction, a contruction worker sheltered me with his umbrella for a short distance. I was really touched by his kindness. Thank you, Lord for showing your love through the people around me.
