I reached home today at about 4pm. Had lunch with my Mum at Bugis Junction. The Soup Spoon is an ideal place for people planning to go on the vegetarian route to dieting. All I have to say is that the meal was both scrumptuous and sumptuous. We had a great meal together. Then we went Cold Storage.
The real test began at Cold Storage. But the apprehension that was usually attached vanished. After so many months of struggling over these encounters, I discovered that I grew more in audacity and courage when facing these experiences. I would say I see myself grow through this whole process. However, I wonder how long these experiences would last; a few weeks more, a few months more, or a few years to come? Never did I blame God on what happened to me, neither did I complain of what I am facing. But I waited in silence, seeing if God wants to put me to the test me further. I will never take it to heart if God allows the worsening of my current condition, or if he allows other bad things to happen to me, because I know it is for my good. I don't mind if my world collapse, seriously. I understand that he knows how much I can take, and will not see me into destruction.
God is good; one went, and another came. He did not abandon me as an orphan. Apart from the Holy Spirit, he sent me yet another person. He has been coaching me like a son, though he has only three daughters and no sons. God's plans are impeccable; too flawless to be comprehended by the human mind. But to the former; I had never blamed you nor held any grudge against you. I learnt that you indeed have your limitations, but please tend after your drove of sheep closely, lest they become like the one who has found its way to another shepherd. Please do something before the flock gets dispersed. But to the latter, many thanksgivings I bestow you; despite your limitations you still withdrew time for our fellowship. You never grew weary from your work, your family, and your ministry, for the Lord is your strength; He renewed your wings like that of an eagle.
To George: Don't feel bad that you could not do anything to help me. You have helped me in a lot of ways, especially Faith; I indeed learnt a lot from you. God has sent me someone who will take good care for me, so no worries for me. =) Thanks for your efforts in helping me, I really appreciate it.
