WOW~ It's been 8+months since I last blogged! :D So much so much had happened... where should I begin? Probably some major events (it will be a little too summarized! hehe) :
End of Aug'2010: SOT Graduation 2010!The most amazing 6 months in my life. Get to know a lot of people, renewal of my mind, did a lot of things by God's amazing grace, get directions for both ministry & career... etc.
Sept - Nov'2010: Study M9, M5 & HI.Pass all in 1st sitting by God's amazing grace! Really don't know how I did it. Sooooooooo difficult. I really thought I will fail & need to retake.
Oct'2010: Mum diagnosed with breast cancer, stage 2 ='(In this period of time, I saw the love of my spiritual family swarming in. Samuel rushed down to NUH the moment I told him the news. Eugene called. Cg-members' smses came in. Main Choir IC gather e ICs to pray & wanted to visit. ChengJun, TingFeng, Eugene & MingYing came to visit mum at home. If w/o all their presence & support, it would have been much much more difficult. In the midst of all these, my sister & I know 1 thing: God's Hand is moving in my family for salvation.
Mid Nov'2010: Licensed as Financial Consultant by Prudential.Finally! Think I don't know took like how many exams & testssssssss =.="
7 Nov'2010: Mum received Christ into her life! =)Samuel fetched mum, sis & I to church in EXPO. We met lots of people personally in 1 day!
Nicholas Goh - when we arrived at carpark
Pastor Aries - when waiting for service to start
Lillian - prayed for mummy for healing!
Pastor Derek - saw him while we were about to leave! Samuel told him about my mum & he laid hands and prayed for her!
Eugene was also there to accompany us. He purposely asked someone to replace his morning work shift so that he can be with us. =)
24 December'2010: Family Christmas dinner at home.1st time ever were they so open & willing to kind-of celebrate Christmas. They usually shun anything that is related to it. Thank God for such a breakthrough in my family! =)
February'2011: Chinese New YearMum stepped out of the house after about 3 months. Visited wai-po on 1st day. Due to fever, we went to A&E @ NUH with her on the 2nd day. 1st time spending CNY in hospital. Despite this, God is good. Mum got a free upgrade to A1 Ward as there was no room in B wards. So, we got a whole room to ourselves with sofa, LCD TV & toilet. :D At least mum can get a better place to rest & watch tv, and dad can slp on the sofa when accompanying her. =)
10 Feb'2011: Acquainted with SherylInvited Sheryl to our house for CNY day 2, but as mum was warded, the plan was aborted. Hence we decided to meet up for movie some other time. Went for movie at Tiong Bahru 1 evening. After that, went for a drink at McCafe & chitchat. Amazingly, we had lots of common grounds, topics & chatted till like 11++pm!!! LOL. Invited her to stay-over at my place & we chitchat till 3-4am (i think)! Amazing. So this is how our friendship blossoms =)
March - Now: ValleyHad been struggling in my career. Thoughts of finding other jobs, giving up, do part-time etc all came flooding in 1 by 1. But I know God will see me through. Lord, let Your will be done in me...
In the midst of this, I thank God for an understanding & supportive boss, as well as loving colleagues. Also, I thank God for giving me a sunshine friend, Sheryl, whom really through her blesses my soul. Laughing, joking, cranky-ing, eating, talking, singing etc. I have been whining & pouring out to her for the past don't know how many weeks. HaHaHa.
In the valley, I shall see Jesus, my Savior, closer than ever before.
In my weakness, I shall experience His strength.
In my ugliness, I shall see the beauty of my Lord.
In my brokenness, I see His affection & grace.
In my darkest hour, You are my Light.
In my deepest valley, You filled me with the richness of Your love.
In the end of time, You are all I ever want.
