This birthday sneaked past me so quietly that I hardly noticed I have grown one year older - whether this is for good or for bad.
I am way way way late for my birthday post, I usually take time every year to take stock of my life as I go into a new year, but really, I have been so busy nowadays that most things just go by me like a whirlwind, including the birthday...
It hasn't been the happiest birthday to be honest, but let me just talk about some feelings I have had recently.
It is now a great joy to be with the little girl at home. She can now respond and express herself though not with words, but with many of her interesting hand gestures. She is really the one that brings me a lot of joy amidst all the tiredness n sometimes heartaches I go through.
I enjoyed having my in-laws staying in my place... I like this sense of communal living.
Most importantly, for the past one month God has been stirring in my heart, and bringing back the memories from Hollywood and jurong west days. Sometimes it is a burden, sometimes it is a song, but 19 years in church and 5 years on staff, I have recently been reminded of the goodness of God. The burden He gave me only got stronger... And I thank God for that. I thank God His fire continues to burn within me, and in the last few months, I sense so strongly the drawing of God upon my life.
It was a huge privilege to be interpreting for Pst during our anniversary, and it was very memorable for me. One of my greatest honor in this lifetime will be to stand on stage with these 2 great men and women of God... Their lives have touched and moved my heart so much. So much has been said about them, especially negatively, but not many know the price they have paid for the kingdom of God. Their love for God and people is enough for me.
I have been so cooped up in the past and present I forgot to look to my future. Let me go think about it and get back here again.
The next post might possibly be some emo post and ranting.
Happy 28th bday XT. The days ahead of you are way more glorious than what you can imagine. :)
