Lesson learned for a "delayer"

Pa got to know that Chiung Lin suk was badly ill (cancer) and kind of isolated himself and his wife here in Singapore. Nobody was allowed to meet him or know where he is, not even his relatives.
Somehow pa got his phone number from his uncle. I tried to call once, his wife answered very reluctantly n said Chiung Lin suk didn't want to be disturbed.
Pa tried to call to, and same result.

Pa really wanted to visit him, knowing that he must be very lonely. Thus, asked me to try to find out the address from the phone number.

Well, I did try to find in library, and ask a few ppl if they have residents yellow pages and to no result.
However, I must admit, I hadn't put enough effort, didn't really realize the urgency, until... last nite, pa told me that Chiung Lin suk had just passed away.
I could just pause with a heavy heart.. sad.. regret.. for both Chiung Lin suk and Pa. "I should have acted faster and more seriusly", that's the first thing came to my mind. It really saddened me :(( and I felt very very bad... Said sorry to Pa, but I really wish that I had found out the address sooner.

I have realized many times that I am such a "delayer", in many things... Those usually are things that tho delayed, but still can be done. This time, it really tells me that there are a lot of things that once it's gone, IT IS GONE! no more chance to do... (same applies to that relationship issue I had)

So... I must really really not delay things that I have to do anymore, especially if it's the prompt from Holy Spirit... Oh God... help me.. I don't want to become a "delayer" anymore...

"A lot of 'yi han' (regret) that we could have chosen not to have..."
--> this is the status in my Facebook today.

Good Bye, Chiung Lin Suk... I've seen your many good works when you're living in this world (those that I saw during my childhood, which pretty much affected my passion towards mission). And I believe, you're now enjoying the crown n privileges with our Father in Heaven. See you... I really wish that Pa and I had visited you before you left...
