BEING THANKFUL

I'm learning once again to be earnest and thankful for the gift of the present and await for the excitement of the future. In fighting for the chance to live in the future, holding onto the promises in the good book ; its a refreshing challenge.
But its with great amusement that I make the latest update over this journey.

Chinese New Year was a time to chat alot, but mine was full of afternoon naps at releative places.. boy, lazing around or hiding in the corner of the sofa was my way out of 'catch22' situations. Haha. It was good so far.. except for the amazing outbreak that has happen.. my face seems to be evolving into a map of the tropics, with islands forming anywhere... Hiyah.. and I washed my face atleast 2 a day!! Maybe a discussion of pimples is better than anything.. Hmm, I gotta thing of a pick-up line using PIMPLES!

Going for a new round of treatment with Dr Nelson will be another hallmark of this journey. I don't know if I've renew hope, but when you know the doctor on a personal level, and he prays with you too for recovery, I guess then my body isn't about clingying on a hope.. or a single purpose, becoz my recovery isn't in any form a work to define the good doctor, neither is it an act of desperation. Somehow, I sense's God divine grace in all that is happening. And that makes the difference.

The sermon today, on the terms of Friendship was an answer to my prayers. I was crying out to the Lord, I sense that, we the people were losing the essence of friendship and what it meant. I wish I could be leading a crusade in these issues; but in this world of 'throw-away' society.. the value of friendship and honour seems to be too 'noble' a cause. And I was glad that it was taught in a light-hearted manner with serious punch in it. Interested to kown more?.. then visit Riverlife church then. :)

I wish I could spend more hours on my knees praying for my friends, for my love one, for my family.. But I've run out of execuses.. I need the conviction and strength to do so. For he knows my every cry.. my tears and troubles are laid bare before him. He's my King. I've no honour. No valour upon my name. Nothing I've I can declare are of my own strength. For he is in my soul, my blood and my spirit.

I gotta keep my knees and head bow before the righteous King. Amen
