As promised but 48hrs late in delivery =P

Here's my update. It's a 'lil late I know, I said last weekend and it's Monday morning now. Pardon me :)

Dec' 07 passed by really fast. Lots of friends came over to Singapore for short trips and stuffs. Met up with them and had a mini marathon of outings back to back until the first week of Jan '08. Besides that, life's more or less progressing at the same pace..which is rather fast and without consciously taking note, this is already the 21st day of the new year. I still feel as though it's 2007. I still mistakenly write the year as '07 whenever I record the date..haha..

I'm going home for CNY this year! On the 3rd of Feb, for a week! It's been a year and a month plus ever since I last gone home. Miss home heaps, like never before...am all excited about it =) One thing I need to do before going home is to submit my uni application. Do pray for me will you? It's said that applicants will only be notified in May whether they are accepted or rejected, so it'll be a few months till I get to find out the outcome. It's dreading.

As for my work, God had pulled me through so far. Ever since I started in this job over a year now, I've been 'put to test', meaning the work that I took over from the previous employee turned out to be problematic all the time and case by case! My heart is always heavy whenever I step into the office every morning fearing that I'll get another 'surprise' again. It was the year of victory for our church last year, and victory comes only after a battle. It was literally a battle then in my work field..

This is a season whereby the whole of our church goes through the book of Psalm, one Psalm a day, to get intimate with God intentionally. I realise that it's the season for the Lord to work in me, before He can work through me. So many a times I prayed and asked the Lord regarding issues but I did not wait to hear Him answer, irony isn't it? Then when I see how the prayers of others get answered, I'll get jealous and bitter about it and start to lament and complain. I want to change. I want to know deeper of who God is and his heart. I want depth in this relationship and not mere worship by lip service anymore. I want to dwell in His sweet presence, in His sanctuary. To be sensitive to Him and be able to know that it's Him speaking to me and leading me, even for the slightest thing. And I know He will break me before He can mould me and shape me. And it will be painful and ugly, but I'm ready. No more excuses.

Be my witness will you? I know I'm not alone in running this race. Let us continue to bear witness to each others' lives. And I need to start by counting my blessings. I have been taking a lot of things in life for granted, as if they ought to be the way they are in the first place, and it's obviously not so when I look back.

Work-in-progress. I used to dislike this term so much you might not know. But it's so true. The work is on-going, every minute every second. There's never a moment He has given up on me and I'm forever grateful about that.
