For I know the plans I have for you, declares the  Lord , plans for welfare   and not for evil,  to give you a future and a hope. - Jeremiah 29:11 (ESVUK) I have been job searching for about 1 month now and have been feeling down.  Volunteered at GoForth Conference on last Friday and met J there.  I have to say that his presence brought about some comfort.  He shared with me about how God brought him to his current employment and I was quietly happy for him.  He said that while he was overseas with his church mission team, a man came up to him and told him the bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11.  That had stick to my mind because from his sharing, I knew God was/is with him.  It has been tough for me emotionally as I seek for a new job.  My emotions are fluctuating.  I can be excited 1 minute when I received an interview invitation and down when I receive a phone screening that I deemed a poor performance on my part. However, I kn...

9th July 2014: Meditating on Proverbs 31:10-31 - A Wife of Noble Character. Thinking of God's will for my life and still seeking for direction. As I was returning home just now, I thought about the various household chores that I needed to do. I used to dread it a lot but yesterday it suddenly occurred to me that it is a blessing to serve my husband this way. Truly, I ask God to remind me to see it as a gesture of loving my husband than thinking of how difficult the tasks can be. When I see my husband's loved ones, I can't help but wonder how blessed I am to be in this closely-knitted family. Sometimes I am too overwhelmed by problems and not look on the bright side. To all who are facing crisis, think about your loved ones and how much they care about you.

Dear Blog, A lot of things has been happening in my life lately, more so spiritually and emotionally.  I am not sure if I have changed but one thing is for sure -- I love Jesus more and more.  The Lord's sovereign hand has been upon me and my loved ones.  God is so good that I am so afraid that one day if I am not careful, I will forget all the good things He has done for me.  Psalm 103:2 (NLT) says, "Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things He does for me."  I am not sure if it has to do with the use of technology but I find myself quite lazy when penning down my thoughts in my physical diary.  I remember a brother sharing about writing down what the Lord has done for him, lest he forgets the goodness of the Lord.  If my memory does not fail me, he said that his mother has Alzheimer's disease and he was afraid that if one day he had this disease, he may not remember God's word.  This sharing motivated me to writ...
