Internet at my new place =)

HAhaa... Internet's up at long last..WEnguang's long awaited internet.. hahah.. We don't have TV at home.. so I won't get to be addicted to TV programmes.. but we have INTERNET!!! so err.. Wenguang will have much more entertainment at home..

I like my new place...home sweet home.. many people think its weird that we don't have a TV at home.. cos almost every household in Singapore has at least 1 TV set.. but we don't find it weird at all.. in fact, we find that we spend much more time communicating with each other.. we just sit at the dining table/sofa and start talking... it's been good.

Gone through quite a bit of ups and downs lately.. but thank God that He continues to assure me of His presence and love... the love that is unfailing and unconditional... the love that is steadfast.. the love that can move mountains, the love that allows me to stand firm in all circumstances... the love that helps me pick up when I fall.. the love that reminds me that everything is in His control and that everything can be redeemed... Many things are beyond us actually...and we need our Lord to give us strength to carry on.

Been learning what is means to worship God in all circumstances..it's an attitude that looks beyond life's circumstances... I have been thinking... all of us have to be forward looking.. some things are just meant to go, there is a time for everything... nothing should stop us from looking forward and giving our best to what we can change and do... if I choose to wallow in the circumstances and ask "why", would that bring me anywhere? No.. it wouldn't...

I guess the SERENITY PRAYER applies to my life at this point..

Lord, grant be the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things that I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

People do hurt us, they may not know they do... but how do we face our hurts? Do we stop loving because we feel hurt? Do we become bitter because we feel hurt? Nope..God's love surpasses everything... We love because He first loved us... If His love is steadfast and unfailing.. we are to show that kind of love to all who are around us whether they have hurt us or not.

Lord, you know my heart...and that's enough.. =)

Ups and downs..but PRAISE THE LORD

IT's been a while since I last put up a blog post.. why?...BUSY with wedding prep and work...and I have no internet at my new place at the moment.

On leave today.. so i thought I should put up a new post..

Burnt out from work...terribly burnt out. every morning I dread pulling myself out of bed to work. I think about work before I sleep and first thing in the morning..that's terrible huh.. I think about work all the time..almost going nuts from the stress.

I just long for a good break... well i thank God for the break today. I realised that I have been jeopardizing my relationship with God.. This lifestyle is BAD...very bad..What should I do? hmm...a job offer just came in recently..all of a sudden. A pretty good offer I think..but I have not decided whether I should make the move.

Never knew what it's like to change job.. haha..but well..got to experience it someday ya. But this experience of burning out made me realise a number of things. I have come to re-evaluate what I want in life and my priorities. I don't want to have a lifestyle that jeopardizes my relationship with God, with hubby, with family and friends. We are made for WORK and RELATIONSHIPS... We can't just allow work to overwhelm us.

In the midst of this struggle.. I still want to thank God for being by my side.. He has never forsaken me.. though I might have forsaken Him. I would have died from this burn-out if not for His Word which nourishes my tired soul.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He leads me beside green pastures and beside quiet waters. He restores my soul..." (Psalm 23)

I know God is delivering me and healing me now.. His Word has brought my new life....I just love Psalms..

Now I understand why God says that we must meditate on the Book of the Law day and night..Cos if we don't, we will meditate on many other things..negative thoughts..worries etc...thoughts which would never glorify God.

I am still on the road to recovery and I am so glad I am married to a great and godly man who loves me whole-heartedly....everyday...

"All things work for the good of those who love God..."

God loves me and Wenguang... His blessings are countless.. we can testify to that.. haha...there's just so much to share.. =)
