Thank you Terima Kasih 谢谢 Obrigado

I want to say a big thank you to all who have been praying for me and is still praying for me. Your prayers have done wonders for my soul because the Lord has heard your prayers and answered them.

Thank you to all of you for your counsel and your concern. My decision has been a very difficult one and one that you might even differ. But nonetheless, all of you have been a great pillar of support whether you agreed or not to my decision. I've been really blessed by your counsel and concern.

Last but not least, a big thank you to the Lord my God for bringing me through the most difficult period of my life thus far. The people I met, listened to and spoke with during that difficult time is certainly divine. If there is one thing that the Lord has constantly reminded me of, from the lowest period of my life to the 'reluctant' spring season now, is this: "I have not forgotten you"

"Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands." Isaiah 49:15-16 (NLT)

Praise the Lord O my soul!

Alive, Busy and Rested

Hello folks! In case you think I'm dead and buried together with this blog, I'm not. It's just that there have been quite a lot of things happening in my life for the past few weeks that had made me really quiet in my blog. And also, I have been busier than ever. Is busyness a bad thing? Someone taught that it's not. Hurriedness is. Restlessness is. Jesus was busy(having lots to do) but He was never in a hurry(never anxious, never overwhelmed).

"Though I am always in a haste," said John Wesley. "I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit."

You can say that I am now at rest - finally after a year or so.

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almight. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust" - Psalm 91:1-2

Are you at rest my friend? If not, why not? Does the verse above rings a bell?

"There is no true rest until we truly trust the Lord."

May you find rest in Him and become alive again.
