Appreciated and thankful!

It's been a tiring week for me cos was sick for the second half of the week, which was v much worsened after a night of staying out and sleeping late yesterday.

went back to ntu on thurs despite not feeling well. had a good catchup with enghow over breakfast. It's been a long time since we had a good chat.. glad to know that he's doing well, and living his life meaningfully and purposely for Christ and His Kingdom.

went to the revived HQ at the old canteen A. reached there rather early, so there were not many pple around. spent time fellowshipping with God and reading my book. It's been a long time since I had the luxury to do this on a weekday. had a great time with God. The setting there reminded me of the days where i was still serving in NYC, fellowshipping and doing our own things at HQ. The stretched yet joyful days =)

then met up with jingting for lunch. a long-awaited meetup. it was a bit short, but yet meaningful. Really thank God for this friendship that He has given to me. There probably wasn't any reason y we shld be close, of how we even started this friendship. Yet, He blossomed it. 2 pple who had nothing realli in common becoming good friends. This indeed, is something that can only be done with the help of Christ.

Was v touched in service when jingting came up to me during the "welcome" section of the service to give me a warm hug! she's sitting quite far from me in service, and she bothered to come all the way up. it's not the first time that i experienced this i guess. There was once reuben also came up to where the YP sits to give me a welcome handshake. It's in times like that, i really feel appreciated and valued. Labour in the Lord is not in vain, esp when i know that the little things i've done have impacted their lives.

God, thank you for the chance to serve You and Your pple. Father, i feel so honoured that You choose to use me though i am so sinful, and so human. Thank You for giving me friends that are so real and true to me although i'm so undeserving. God i pray that you'll continue to preserve these friendships, and let them be a testimony to Your greatness in my life. Thank You for all the friends that You've given to me, as well as all the pple that You've brought into my life. In Jesus' Name I give thanks, Amen.
