CMB - D02

Reconciliation

It is all about how much one values the other. It is when you decide friendship outweighs all that you have selfishly hoarded inside, when pride goes right into the dustbin. Many times humility is that fine line that determines the outcome. It comes with much practice. And it becomes easier in time.

What is there not to thank God for? =)

Ecclesiates 3:7
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak.

Project CMB - D01

  • Today I've learnt a lot from Prof. Khoo. All the differential diagnosis' must be at our fingertips. One day I shall snap my fingers and name all of it. :P I'm truly inspired to do so.
  • My best patient, fully compliant, one who never misses her appointments, told me she will be returning to India in January! There is still a lot yet to be done. Must hurry!
  • Isaac called to say he passed his piano theory exam with 88%. So proud of my brother. ;)
  • Willy koh koh called through MSN and chatted a bit. Mostly about his wedding plans. It's so exciting!
This is part of my project to (CMB) count my blessings each day. Day One completed.

Temporary

Temporary.

Things have been moving so fast and it seems like everything is temporary. All the busy-ness, quietness, sadness, happiness, playfulness, frustrations came to past so fast that I can hardly keep track. In moments of sadness, I tell myself it is temporal. When I am in a state of elation, I wonder how long it will last.

I have just been thinking that 'Temporary' is such a harsh word. It brushes off every mood and emotion that one should discover in the moment itself. It says 'whatever goes' and struts on in life with a defeated spirit. It says 'come what may' in a defiant tone. And beneath the facade lies a heart harden to the core like a stone.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Many times I miss out the first sentence: therefore do not lose heart. I think the best way is to count my blessings before I start another module of studies. That way, I wouldn't lose focus and get discouraged by things that are happening around me.

Ahh...my little thoughts again.

On another note, last week, a team of us went with Pastor John to FCC in BM to minister and to have fellowship with their church. It was a pretty small church, similar to GCC, my church in SP, family-based and the people were very warm. The amazing thing was that I met Pr. KA's brother there and I was wondering why he looked like the Ngs in my church back in Penang. It is a small world indeed! We had a great time of ministry.

I loved the song the worship leader sang that day. The title was 'yun shang tai yang'. If I did not interpret wrongly, it meant behind every cloud there is a silver lining.

云 上 太 阳

无 论 是 住 在 美 丽 的 高 山
wu lun shi zhu zai mei li de gao shan
或 是 躺 卧 在 阴 暗 的 幽 谷
huo shi tang wo zai yin an de you gu
当 你 抬 起 头 你 将 会 发 现
dang ni tai qi tou ni jiang hui fa xian
主 已 为 你 我 而 预 备
zhu yi wei ni wo er yu bei

云 上 太 阳 它 总 不 改 变
yun shang tai yang ta zong bu gai bian
虽 然 小 雨 洒 在 脸 上
sui ran xiao yu sa zai lian shang
云 上 太 阳 它 总 不 改 变
yun shang tai yang ta zong bu gai bian
哈 ~ 它 不 改 变
ha ta bu gai bian


Zhu yi wei ni wo er yu bei. Please remind me everyday Lord; that I am living for You!
