Blog EntrySweet MomentsMar 10, '08 1:49 PM
for everyone

I remember a Multiply post by a newly-married church friend who wrote that there were moments each day that he would wake up to enjoy the sunlight shining on his wife's face and thank God for providing him with such a wonderful lady. I share his sentiments.

It's indeed been a blessing to enjoy every waking moment with my dear wife Sue. We cherish the precious moments each morning when we walk along the canal to work; and before we reach home each evening we would already be exchanging sweet messages expressing how much we long to see each other.

Well, we're only entering the third month of married life but it already feels like we've been married for a lifetime. The stresses of learning to live with a new person have definitely been quite an experience for us; coupled with settling the remnants of house renovation work as well as coping with everyday concerns such as housework. And there are the times that we have carved out to spend with our families; which we have had to balance with the precious moments that we spend in youth ministry. I can only say that it's been God's grace that has carried us through.

It's my prayer that as we continue to journey through life walking hand in hand, that we would continue to keep our focus on the One who has been good to us all this while; that when the time comes for us to present an account of our lives to Him, that He would count us both as faithful servants; co-labourers in His kingdom of love and grace.


Blog EntryA Tale of Three DecadesJan 20, '07 11:58 AM
for everyone
21st January 2007. The day I begin my third decade of existence. A number of people have asked me how I feel now that I'm 30 years-old. I really don't know and can't say - afterall I've only been 30 for less than an hour :) What I can say is that I'm thankful to God for every day of my life. It's really been a wonderful journey so far... and I know that as long as I continue to walk closely to Him, that I'll enjoy this path that He has directed me towards...

I have so much to give thanks to God for this year - the first thing on my mind is definitely the wonderful girl whom God has provided for me as my fiancee, my dearest Sue. These eight months together have been eight of the most enjoyable months in my life. Yes, of course our relationship has had its ups and downs, but I'm most thankful to God for providing someone who understands me and loves me for who I am - and that in loving me, she always seeks my interests above hers. I know I try to do the same for her - not always easy, but what I'm certain is that when we choose to consider each other above ourselves, that's when we build a relationship that lasts. More so when ultimately we consider God above ourselves...

I'm also thankful for my family. Although things have not always been a bed of roses, but I know that when push comes to shove, they'll be there for me. It's a very unusual relationship I have with the different sets of family members, but am very thankful that all of these relationships are built on love - the love that we have for each other.

Youth ministry. I know this is my calling in life - can almost see myself here even when I turn 50, but I know that when God directs you towards your calling, it doesn't matter how, what or where, but that you'll always be filled with an inner joy that can only come from Him.

My job - can almost say that there's no other place I rather be... I'm not sure what the future holds, but I know that I'm meant to be here this season - that's all that matters :)

Thank you God for everything :)
