How can I not to give thanks?

Penyertaan-Mu sempurna, rancangan-Mu b'ri damai
Aman dan sejahtera, walau di tengah badai
Ingin 'ku s'lalu bersama rasakan keindahan
Arti kehadiran-Mu Tuhan...

2 days ago (19/05) was exactly 2 months since I started working in Value Plus - a very unexpected happening, but I truly know that it was not by coincidence at all, but was arranged in such a way by my Creator, my Planner - ending all those ~desperation, exhausting, never-ending unclaritiness, frustration, and so on...~ moments. Well... still desiring to go somewhere else, though (such a 'never-satisfied' me, huh? Hehe...). Don't know why I always wish I could go overseas(well.. though now I'm oversea,haha... I mean.. to western country - USA... my dream!!! haha...); but in time being, I know, God has His very purpose on putting me here NOW. So, what I know is just: I am here NOW, by God's grace, may I fulfill the purpose He assigns me to be here now. In future, where am I gonna be, what am I gonna do, I know it's all already in Your 'organizer', Lord, but... may I...?? ;p

Upon arrival, grace upon grace have I received, that really make me say: "How can I not give thanks?" After having opportunity to serve Papa during his sickness (I really cherish this "opportunity" - I call it), and spending sometimes (though just 1 week) at home, then on 17/03 (Saturday), I left Singkawang to Kuching. I can call it a miracle that after having travel-sickness, I didn't get bad my "pasca-mabok" as I usually had. God knows that I need health :) Arriving at Pleasant Court, Ming Ngi and Suh Chee picked me up to their house, as Su Fen was not in Kuching at that time. I had a good rest there (well... with quite a bad homesick) and stayed overnite there. The next day, they even sent me for shopping and paid for my daily needs. Oh God... what a precious gift from You they are. Until now, they are one of those angels around me, providing me with care, laughter, encouragement, and accompaniment.

After that, moved to Pleasant Court, staying with Su Fen, a good sister of mine, don't know how to describe, but all this while, she and Julian have been so helpful in almost every area of my needs, especially in the beginning of my days in Value Plus. Had great time while staying there for 1 month, that when I moved out, missed her badly (in fact, we still meet each other everyday in office, haha...). Well... may be because of her care which is more of a sister' care rather than a friend-care, the chit-chat we had all the time (sorry for causing your late sleep, sis...), the heart-stories, family stories, miss you, jie jie... (hahaha... that's how I call her lately)

Just on that very nite, the nite before I was suppose to start my first day in Value Plus, had a very stressing time as well, knowing that the contract would be 2 years. Well... write about this later, another story :)

Andy, Silvy, Su Fen of course, and other colleaques who are really more than friendly, helpful, and nice, were one of the mean that God used to convince me to stay, I think. Even until now, I really give thanks for them.

Even then, Thai ce (Yennie) invited me to stay in her house. Well, I do pay (though she at first resisted it), but it's still far far cheaper than if I am to rent a place. Besides, I can go to work with them.

Oh God, what can these all be, if it's not Your grace, and blessings, and arrangement?

My thousand tongues won't be enough to thank You, my precious Father....

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day...
Hm... First time 'treat' mum a dinner for Mother's Day, felt so great... Thanks God for this opportunity. Mum was here since Friday for the ministry in Ling Liang though she was not the one who preach this morning, but her friend coming from Singapore (Ou Ling yi yi) was. Spent a great time with mum and the rest of them. Saturday, after office, went for lunch with them, then taught the children choir. They didn't do very well, i felt so sorry that i got angry with them. But after that apologized to God. Then went to see some resort in Santubong and Damai, and ended with a seafood dinner at Palm Garden. After that, went to Saberkas, had a car ride with Hok ko.. then teh tarik in Water Front.. Yummyyyy... :D
One more time, God reminded me.. "It's not by my might and ability" The children did quite badly the day before, but after the prayer, this morning they did very well in the choir. We had a little, but meaningful celebration of mother's day.

On Friday itself, was strengthen by mum's sharing in the prayer meeting. God... I really want to be like mum. For I know, that's how you want me to be. I'm still very far away from that stage, from that pure heart and integrity in serving you.But I know, it's all by Your Grace.

Mum... I know all your hardships, deeds, and perseverence. Thank You for never give up on me. Thank You God, for this parents of mine... It's really a great grace being their daughter.
