Happy Birthday to...

you...

It has been few months since we last contacted. I wish you well. Blessed Birthday to you in advance. I know it is tomorrow but I just thought of wishing you now. I know you might not visit this post, but it is just my style to wish everybody I know on their birthday. So, no special meaning attached.

Take care and God bless!

I Think Too Much

Very often in our lives we will go through a series of events that will lead from one to another. Sometimes we tend to think too much about one certain event, and this may lead to two conclusion: good or bad. Hmm, what is this about?

Myself, for example, sometimes I tend to be sensitive and think about things that is actually not the case. How do I go about this? For instance, my dad asks me to drive carefully whenever I see a motocyclist in front of me, but I will go on to think that he is saying that I drive too fast.

This in turn, would lead to miscommunication. If this is not clarified, it will lead to bitter feeling in me. Consequently, I will have my mood swing and react badly to the situation.

Yes, I do think too much. I feel that sometimes we can just leave things as it is and let the thing speaks for itself. A is A, B is B, it is just as simple as A, B, C. Why do we want to complicate things and think about things that is actually not the case?

LOL~ I think my mom must have inherited her imaginative skills to me. She is really good at this, and very often, misunderstanding arise from this too :p

Anyhow, I have to learn to be simpler. A will not be B unless in extreme cases whereby we can just draw a stroke below and it turns out to be B.

"Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself". This is what Jesus said. It is time to let go and let God take over things that are not within our control.

Cheers!

Grateful (I)

Yesterday I was having lunch with my colleague. As I was chatting with her about her mom's condition, I came to realise that there are a lot of things that we should be grateful about. For instance, I am grateful to God because my parents are still healthy and still able to move around.

In life, there are a lot of things that we tend to take for granted. When I hear that her mom is hospitalised, I was really grateful that God had mercy on us 13 years ago. I still remember it was few days before my birthday, my mom had to undergo a lung operation. I told my mom to be strong and that God is with her, and she must come out to celebrate my birthday.

At that time, Doctor informed that the operation was only going to take two (2) hours; so I was in my school uniform, thinking that I could still attend class after visiting my mom after her operation.

Two hours passed, but nobody came out. My family and I were getting anxious as there was no one to inform us what was going on. Hour by hour, finally after the sixth hour, the Doctor came out and informed us that the operation was successful! Praise the Lord!

Then the Doctor told us that he had to cut out my mom's lung (one side) [the reason my mom went for lung operation was because she had a shadow at one side of her lung (suspected cancer)] because they were afraid that the 'shadow' will spread to other parts of the body.

I remembered that the Doctor said it was classified as second stage cancer, but my dad kept on denying it. Anyhow, having only one lung, my mom is still very healthy now. Doctor said she would be under observation for five (5) years, and if nothing goes wrong, she is okay thereafter :)

Today, after 13 years, she is still here with us, living healthily and is a living testimony that God is great. I really thank God for being kind to us and that He always remembers us at all times. I hope that my colleague's mom will accept Christ as her Saviour.

I also hope that readers who are Christian help to pray for my colleague's mom, Mrs Wong, that she will be able to open her heart to accept Christ when the news of salvation reaches her ear.

Abba Father,

We cast Mrs Wong unto Your hands. We know that You are a merciful Lord, that You love all of us although we do not deserve it. Lord, please open Mrs Wong's heart, so that when we share with her about You, she would be able to accept You with a willingful heart. We pray for her salvation, and also pray that You would heal her from her sickness, so that she would be a living testimony for You.

In Jesus' precious name we pray, Amen.
