BIG change is possible. we just need to start small, start now.
just had a talk with francis and weiliang. it started off me thinking about faith and capacity. whenever we move on into another area and stage of our life, we embrace a similiar set of questions but just at a different level. is the core of our being still the same? or has it changed with time and our experiences?
i always feel that so much more can be done. and at the same time, i learnt to acknowledge the personal limitations that i have. but even more importantly, to stretch these limits and prioritise. i want to know how much He can stretch me and i can't wait to see my potential being developed. but is this the right time and right thing to do? it is interesting how seasons operate...
i pray that God will show when the time is right, to take it up or to help someone else take it up. what francis spoke to me about has always been what has been at the back of my mind - just how involved? and if it happens, i trust that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. anointing and authority comes when the willing steps up...

something i felt very strongly about during the pm was the word that i felt in my heart. indeed in times like these with impending deadlines and tests, many of us tend to get very worried and concerned, and some, crushed. but God promised His grace and His presence as we learn to navigate in our lives. if only every day we would seek Him like David would. even in the presence of his enemies. he had no sleeping problems or worries. and that is how i know God wants us to live our lives daily - just that we need to DO IT!
God, help me to walk in child-like faith and always to hear and obey, trusting You...

just got back from the supposed girls' night out at adm hill. but anyway, it was pretty cool to have Chris, an exchange student from New Zealand to join us. we got a whole lot of people there after, making it 10 of us.
with all kinds of tea - lemon, green, peach and mango, and fruits, alongside chocolate, we had a chocolatey time on top of adm. not forgetting the dozens of stars and satellites that we could see. the night was sprinkled with loads of laughter and wholesome fun. talked, played and had sabos. not forgetting a gues performance by jeremy, who wrote his whole song. haha. the people were literary mesmerized and 'stuck on you'. sure looking forward to him completing the song and hear him sing the whole song.
learnt a lot today, including how different things are over in new zealand. compare the size of queenstown here and there, it really is a whole world of difference. talk about fresh milk that expires only a month later, which is never the case over in new zealand. and one of our favourite delicacy abalone is never yellow and in cans. they get it fresh from the sea, black in colour with blue shimmery shells. and they even make fritters out of it. astounding! i do look forward to the day where i can travel and backpack around the world. i like the diversity of cultures we have all around and to be able to learn something new each day never fail to awe me.
even with rocks, solid fuel and a pot, a storm of fun and friendships could be whipped up. do look forward to stronger friendships being forged and more girl times ahead!
woman are so wonderfully complex...
