Thankful day!

It has been four months since I've started my 1st job. I am glad and thankful to be able to stand today. Not because of my own strength, but through God I am able. And because of Him, everything I do is purposeful.

It was almost at the end of the month. A few of my colleagues are leaving for another endeavor in their life. For that, I wish them well and success, and may God's blessing be with them in all of their ways.

Two weeks ago, I met a new friend. Let's name him as Mr. K. He used to be my school mate when I was in primary school back in KK. But I don't remember him at all since he was my sis's classmate. Glad to know him, he invite me to join their group to PLKN camp at Tuaran for a short fellowship with the trainee. What a wonderful experience!

I make a new friends and I look forward to join this ministry.

As for work, its a new direction to be explored. I am now taking over a new task because my dear friend Willie is heading off to Brunei end of this month! I am sad to see him leaving, I feel like there is so much more to learn from him. It was still too soon for him to go. But I know that I can't be selfish. And there is a bright future for him on the other side of this country. For that, I bid him a good 'good bye' knowing that we will continue to be friend. Kan Willie? =)

It's always hard to see people go. Though I've farewell so many people in my lifetime, it's always hard to say good bye especially when they left a footprint in my heart. But I am thankful to be reminded that they will always be in the good hand of our God. For that I am happy to see them go.

As for my very personal life, I look forward to experience new things, to polish and develop new skills, be more confident in all I do, especially to be myself. I also look forward to grow more like Christ, each day in my life.

Its been a good October. Soon it ends. But for now, I am thankful for the present times. 

Step out in faith and obedience to God, despite my fear.

As I reflect myself in these 7 months time, I noticed many changes, not only the environment and the circumstances I faced, but also myself - inside out. The inevitable changes, sometimes I wondered if I had learned something out of it.

Though, many times I feel like time flies so fast, I’d realise more and more that I am moving as well. Moving towards another phase in my adult life, towards my dream and towards many possibilities that life could offer.

But many of those moments, I also feel uncertain and afraid. It is very discouraging to feel that way when deep inside my heart I look forward to try or learn something new.

Many times I think I should wait to do something until I am no longer afraid. Now I realized that if I did that, I’d probably accomplish very little for God, for others, or even for myself.

For that I am thankful to be reminded. Through the story of Abram, who obeyed God in spite of fear. So I also decided to put my fear aside and do what God tells me to do.

Do what God wants me to do, even if I have to do it afraid! The rewards of it are great.
