Food for Thoughts

Let Go

Before I went to Indonesia last week, I did web check-in and guess what, my printer was out of ink and it was 10.15pm. I got to wake up at 5.30pm to catch a bus to LCCT. So, quickly I called a friend and headed off to her house to print. Her printer, which was working perfectly well the night before, was jammed up and not working. After trying for half an hour, I called another friend nearby and headed off to her house, only found out I could't reprint my boarding pass (despite clicking the reprint button few times). Panic striked. But nothing could be done. So I headed home. Before I slept, I prayed and peace came. The song "How Great is Our God" kept lingering all through the night, even in the morning when I woke up. I knew God is in control, despite all these unexpected things. I arrived at airport on time, the queue was short and I managed to get my boarding pass reprinted over the counter. Had I not let go the night before, and choose to worry, I wouldn't have a good nite sleep.

In life, we can look after certain ppl in our lives. It comes to a point of time where you know it's time to let go of them and let them grow. It's not that you abandon them, but you know that their wings hv grown bigger, stronger and it's time for them to spread their wings else where, b'coz the nest is just too small for them..to ruffle. Can't deny the nest is comfortable and warm, just that they may feel out of place. Yeah, letting go maybe painful for some of us, but if it's for the better of the person, it's good to be so. Won't you agree?

Reunion Across the Sea

Had a pre-Christmas holiday last weekend across the sea. It was short but memorable and there were lots of things shared in the span of 3 days, to catch up on each other life stories of the past 5 years.

What touched me most are her stories, of her sister and hubby's salvation, her willingness to do things that are out of her comfort zone and very un-her. The unexpected yet impactful things happened to others because of her willingness and obedience. The joy and the comfort that she brought to others..beyond description. Her perseverance in praying for others and for situations that were frustrating and yet beyond controls. The way God answered her prayer encouraged my heart very much, of His grace and His love.

Above all, I miss the little girl, who remembered me as Aunty "Mui Moon". My colourful lopipop bribed my "right" to enter her room. Miss her round bright eyes and her constant crashing in to my room to flash herself after shower tickled me..Amazing level of energy.:)
