Good afternoon world!
Wow it's been more than a year since i've last post!
And why is it that im free to do so?
Cuz im on an exchange and i am already back in my hall, and my dinner has alr been settled!
(It was a feast of xiao lao bao, pizza and bake rice, and i paid less than $10)
The best part is that.....
Everything has been accomplished before 6pm!
I have the luxury to play basketball and jog around the track with Gabriel,
we even has such a wonderful maple syrup toast breakfast!
I had time to worship God w my ukelele,
had time to recap on my sign language,
and WALK to my spanish class!
Not to mention i had washed and hanged my clothes and swept the floor!!
Oh how wonderful it is to be able to have a day's chores completed with such peace and joy before the sun comes down!
And it enables me and spurs me to think and pray for ppl and my ministries!!!!
It allows me to stop and think of whom shall I send an encouragement msg for!!!
Spore's pace of life is really tooooooOOOOoooOOOoo fast,
shall we make bricks wout straw?
Anyway.....
I found a my draft, dated a year ago ! Decided to complete it!
This is dedicated to all my single brothers and sisters who are waiting for their true love
&
to Gabriel, whom God has brought me to him, to love and to care;
and to be loved and to be cared for =)
May we grow through joys and trials to come,
to be a blessing to others to the glory of God!
Happy belated one year anniversary!

Was meditating on Genesis 24 today.
I am so touched by how God can arrange something so beautiful if we let Him.
12 Then he prayed, “LORD, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13 See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. 14 May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too’—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”
15 Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milkah, who was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor. 16 The woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again.
17 The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.”
18 “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink.
19 After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels. 21 Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the LORD had made his journey successful.
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka[c] and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels.[d] 23 Then he asked, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”
24 She answered him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milkah bore to Nahor.” 25 And she added, “We have plenty of straw and fodder, as well as room for you to spend the night.”
26 Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD, 27 saying, “Praise be to the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”

God sent forth an angel to prepare Rebekah's heart (v7),
and Rebekah turned out to who Abraham, Isaac and his servant was praying for.
I thk Rebekah and her family shud have been praying for Isaac as well.

Did God sense that you're incredibly lonely and discouraged like Isaac after his mother's death & sent me to be by your side to comfort you (v67)?
I really felt your anguish ytd.
When i looked into your eyes, i saw the pain and frustration from your army days.
Praise God that He preserved your purity & your heart towards Him.
Praise God that you're not butter & filled with hatred for the world.
Praise God that you've learnt to rely on Him for strength and hope.
Praise God for you, man of God.
I pray that the Lord will heal your wounds!
May the Lord's everlasting and all encompassing love enable you to love and forgive those who hurt you.
