gone home to a better place.
the news is heartbreaking..... a son and a daughter have lost their father. a wife has lost her husband, the one she has spent most of her life with...... the one whom she smiled and laughed with as they watched their children grow up. Lord, You know their grief.... Lord, hold them together i pray... aunty, des, janet, san...... especially aunty..... God, thank you that they were all there by his side...... having those he loved right beside him as he breathed his last must have been the most comforting thought....... knowing that his life had been surrounded with people who loved him and people he loved.just last sunday we saw uncle in hospital. he was talking with us, he watched the east timor video, he asked us if it was dangerous in east timor.... it really didn't seem like he would have gone home to be with the Lord just after one week.... we were talking to des yesterday and found out that uncle was unconscious. despite the tough situation, des still said he's trusting God, step by step........ and today..... the news that uncle has passed away...... uncle's in a better place now...... a place where he can finally see his Maker face to face....... be their comfort Lord.....

soup spoon.
these are some things i picked up from a conversation with a friend.1. i need to unclutter my life.
2. has my identity been determined by the things i do, so much so that i have forgotten who i really am?
3. when we're humble, that's the safest place to be.
4. dare to be ruthless to get rid of the things in my life that are hindering my relationship with God.
5. it's easy to be a shell, just doing and doing and meeting others expectations of myself. but is that the way it should be?
6. she sets aside blocks of her time on saturdays to spend with God. wei also suggested i do that. i should start this discipline.
7. slow down. read the Bible slowly, verse by verse and don't move on until i'm sure that i know what God is speaking to me about.
8. sometimes it's just letting go of the things that we've been holding on too tightly.
9. it's okay to have no leaders, let God work and let God find the manpower.
10. we can rationalize a lot. we've many reasons why we should or should not do something. how do i know the difference? seek God and He will surely make Himself known.
11. keep asking myself, is this where God wants me to be? is this what God wants to teach me at this point in my life?
12. i can't serve like in uni days anymore, i just don't have the capacity. dare to make a stand.
13. be a leader who cares about whether the people under me are where God wants them to be, not just people who are serving God in ministry.
14. it's important to have a friend who will spur me along in my relationship with God.
15. she didn't just ask about what we did at east timor, she asked how the trip was for me personally.
uncluttering in progress.
