These few days, been sleeping late and my body growing weaker as result. There're many things to be done and been struggling to keep up with the time.

One thing I learnt in midst of these very trying times.

1. God is good. He knows my limits, and He makes sure everything allright at the end

It's only when i let go of my own rights, to obey Him on what He says (though they don't make sense or seems good for me), yet He's faithful to His words.

It's still very tiring days ahead. But i'm sure that He'll see me through. As the Psalmist puts it, when many the cares of my heart, your consolations cheer my soul. So God does not let me go even at my most trying circumtances

It's been a long journey

As i recollected some of my past years memories...it's been quite a long journey to here.

I still remember the first time I left home, arrived at Cambridge....unfamiliar site.

Those days are always fresh in my mind... hope one day i could visit the sites again.

I still remember the NUS days...making new friends and getting to know new people

I still remember the fear of project deadlines & exams...those student years.

And then the anxiety of finding a job... going from one interview to another.

Hoping to hear some good news, and telling home that I'd found a job

I still remember those lonely years ... struggling with life and the harsh realities.

Well, it's been a long journey till today

Soon i'm getting married.

And all these will be history...and another new chapter of life.

How it would be? How it's gonna be look like?

Through all and all ... I am reassured once again.

Great is God's faithfullness.

And this old hymn voices out again beautifully the truth:

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Refrain

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

If indeed we thought we could outdo God in giving, that's absolutely misleading.

If indeed we thought there's end of God's faithfulness, that's totally shortsighted.

So i thought it's just one or two events in life ... where God's faithfulness is clearly seen.

And how wrong I was

Yesterday ... he placed sum of money in my account, just before my account deducted for monthly rental that obviously was not sufficient the day before. Was thinking to withdraw cash and placed in the account so that the transaction will not fail. But God provided in time

Moreover...there's extra..:D

Today, as i received a letter from my employer, and opened up the letter....

The extra amount that was added, exactly the same amount we gave for someone.

Still remember the nite, after hearing the talk ... and felt God wants us to be generous, we decided on the amount that looking back was a big sum for us. Even after i gave it, i was still thinking if i'd done like this before ... to give this amount so easily.

And today...i received back that amount...in ways that I could never dreamed before.
