Hee =p Very grateful to God for the good time during service.. really enjoyed working with the worship team..the music was good..things flowed, was encouraged by positive feedback. All glory and praises to God!
God affirmed me once again of His presence and His goodness in my life. Had a rather difficult week actually, had many doubts regarding my walk with God, but He really spoke to my heart yesterday.
Had a good time with CG during lunch after service... we already had a good time together at Eleen's place the day before.. but well..good times are never enough. I just love my caregroup.. briefing them about the wedding day was like conducting a big committee meeting hahaha =)but it was really fun!
After that, WG and I headed for IMM.. intended to just look for our bed...but God led us into FURNITURE CLUB and we ended up getting a package at a rather affordable price.. not bad I must say..Mattress, bed-frame, sofa set, dining set, coffee table, extra sofa covers..hahaha.. we were very happy when we made the decision to get the package. Save some time, good quality and service.
Thank God for leading us every step of the way in our wedding preparations.. we do find it a hassle at times, but God has been making things much easier for us. No complaints =p
Hehe.. there are still outstanding things to settle.. got to get our refrigerator, washing machine, dryer etc.. haha maybe another good package will come along the way? hahah

Learning to enjoy the process
Wah...it's really not easy starting a family. I find myself forced to move out of my comfort zone. Been thinking about a lot more things...more responsibilities etc. The matrimonial home, family planning, work, finances etc. Now I understand why people say that one must be prepared to move into marriage. It's about maturing into adulthood and independence.
Got to say bye bye to the comfortable life at home =) haha...Have always been well taken care of by mummy, now I have to start learning how to manage my own home. Hmm... well...I just have to rely on God's grace.
It's been fun looking around for household items and thinking about the design of our kitchen cabinets etc. Our flat's pretty small..but that means household chores will be more manageable. haha =p Thank God for the flat! It's really a huge gift from God..
The thought of it being God's gift to us really adds to our joy!
Thank God we started with our preparations early... although we still have quite a bit to do, it's rather manageable so far. I hope I won't have to fret too much about the wedding 2 weeks before the actual date.
Many people constantly remind me to enjoy the process of preparing for marriage and not be bothered by the hassle. It can be hard at times, but I do want to enjoy this process with my future hubby.
I am grateful for all our wedding helpers! =) It really helps to delegate the tasks haha.. helps me relieve some stress!
We shall work towards a low-stress or no-stress wedding!

God's grace when I don't deserve it
Yeah! Experienced God again today! He showered me with His grace once again...just when I thought all was lost...God solved my problem when I don't deserve it. He is just amazing.
Lately, God has been challenging me to trust Him with my heart. His promise to me this week, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." The promise has always been lingering in my head but God wants me to believe with my heart...I know God has been reaching to my heart over the past few days. He wants me to know that He is really walking with me every single day, without fail=)
This faith journey is really exciting...the working world can cause one to lose the innocent and simple faith easily but if we fix our eyes on God...everything will change for the better.
All in all.. I am really grateful for all that He has done for me.
What about you?

Honeymoon in New York & IMPERFECTIONS =p
Wow.. had a tough time trying to get tickets for honeymoon.
Firstly, it was hard trying to convince my boss that I got to be out of office in September. It doesn't help that it clashes with my colleague's maternity leave. I still managed to get my leave in the end...so thank God.
But it was not really a smooth process trying to get tickets...we wanted to leave Singapore on 31 August...and then return to Singapore on 15 September. If we do that, Tim, Ann and Ian would be around for the full trip... and we will have 12 days to travel around (11 days leave from work). That would be ideal but life is not always perfect (as we should know by now)...
I was rather upset when we could get the tickets and we found out that we might end up paying more for the same dates..but thank God.. an opening came...9 September flight.. return to Singapore on 23 September.. still 11 days leave but 11 days to travel around...Tim, Ann and Ian will only be around for 4 - 5 days. BUT THE TICKETS ARE STILL THE CHEAPEST! hahaha.. NOt as perfect, but we decided to book them anyway!
What lessons have I learnt in this process:
1. God may not always give us what is PERFECT but He will provide what is best in the circumstances
2. Be patient and surrender all plans to God
3. Life is full of imperfections, got to be flexible
I have been learning to accept imperfections at work etc...imperfections everywhere in fact..it's tough cos I am such a PERFECTIONIST! I jump at imperfections, negative emotions such as frustration, impatience etc overwhelm me so easily. Why... because I have not learnt to accept that life will be never be as perfect as I want it to be ... Man are sinners.. where there is sin, there will never be perfection.
Handling a case now, it's messy cos imperfect people created the mess. Long story.. but well..thank God for giving me the strength to move forward.
