One step at a time with Jesus

Of the many lessons i learned since falling sick is the world can and will go on without me.I also learned that life is short and anything can happen anytime anywhere.

Through the lives of people around me I have learned to smile and be happy despite circumstances around me.To be grateful for what I have and be contended with my portion that God has given to me.

To focus on what I have and not what I dont have.To live in the present as it is a gift from God and not in the past or future.

Most of all, I have learned that when I am weak, He is strong.

All i need to do is take one step at a time with Jesus.

I am still here

I am back home with my favourite people....enjoying my favourite food....

This is my favourite time...

I meant to write earlier or sooner

But my bro is also down in kl for a month break so i am enjoying spending time with him.He was down with high fever.My family was quite worried for him but we prayed for him and he is on the mend now.It was quite trying at times as my mum wanted him to eat porridge and soup to get better but he refused.... he wanted curry and fried kuey teow and all sorts of other things.I had to sneak the food at times so my mum would not know.

My sister and i had a good time too on Sat with Andrew.We were accompanying here to her friends wedding in Selayang. Now my sister and i are locals so you would think we would know how to get there easily...Think again.

The wedding was at eight and we left the house at 750pm....Malaysian timing.We arrived at bout 8pm near Batu Caves and drove on straight to selayang.I should tell you that the address on the wedding card was really misleading.

We drove and drove and kept going in circles and ending up in the same place over and over again and it was driving me up the car wall.Each time we stopped and ask for direction, everyone kept giving us a wrong direction.What was worse was when we went to a police station to ask for directions, they did not even know where the building was.

Finally, we called my sis friend(the one who was getting married) and we managed to find our way eventually..... We arrived at the wedding dinner at 910pm.It was really hilarious and embarrassing at the same time.I have never been to a wedding that late and also walking in when some were walking out from the wedding.

My sis and Andrew were a real sport.They were laughing about it and making jokes about the whole incident.If it was just me, i would have freaked out and felt bad about it.Thank God for a lovely sis and fiance.

What did i learn from all this....i pondered on the fact that in life we can also go around in circles and spend precious times if we do not get the right directions in our lives.We could ask people around us for directions in our lives, maybe someone authoritative in our lives to show us the way that we should take and still BE LOST.

There is only one person in this world that can show us and lead us in the right direction.IT'S GOD.It's up to us to ask Him to show us directions for our lives and our future so that we do not have to run in circles and we can enjoy whatever the Lord has planned for us.It does not have to be DELAYED just because we are too busy running our own lives or even listening to the opinions of others without going to God first.

Well thats all for my thoughts now....

Let me know if you have any insights on this...
