Huilin, Denise and myself

Another Flickr photo op!

(Note: Do not go to my Flickr Photo Page if you do not want to see acts of violence of inexplicable comical-ity)

In a less insane picture, this is of myself with Huilin and Denise. Denise had her confirmation yesterday and it was so beautiful because she was looking forward to having her first Holy Communion in the last one year!

As she shared with me the intense impact the hymns, being confirmed and actually partaking of the communion had on her, my heart bounced about with joy for her.

Like a newborn baby, she is bubbling with joy and newness of life. Reminds me that I’ve got to get some of that joy back in my life.

I’ve allowed the negative things of the world to drown out the good things that God has given me to enjoy - friends like these, my work, food/clothing/shelter, etc … and most importantly, my eternal salvation given by God Himself.

I’ve decided to come into work each day with a different kind of attitude. I don’t want to keep thinking that I ought to be somewhere better, somewhere where I can show off whatever ounce of talent I have. I AM ALREADY HERE. Till God leads me to whereever else, I will work for His utmost glory.

It’s great to have work, to know that your dreams are being fulfilled. The job is no longer a job, its a vision in motion. Though circumstances don’t always go the way I want them to, I remember that God can still use my situation to train me into the person He wants me to be.

These 2 months are going to be pretty intensive with increased work, renovations + shifting and the highly-anticipated Hillsongs conference but thank God for good training in school! :D I’m looking forward to seeing how I’m going to be tested and challenged.

My goal is to train myself to work under pressure, stay and deal with conflicts and also remember what’s most important in life - God.

Thank you Denise for showing me what’s most important. May your glowing coal burst into flame and never extinguish because your fuel comes from the Light of the world. So let your light shine!

“Now if we are children, then we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” (Romans 8:17)

    Oh Ruthieeeeee, you’re just too modest & too sweet! Thankie for the encouragement, i’ll definitely hold on to them in the days to come :)
    I thought i was rambling incoherently to you over lunch that day, and you somehow summarized it up, of how beautiful our Lord is!

    I thank God that He brought people like you into my life too, for inspiring me on how real it is to live for Him, of how God works so wonderously in your walk with Him.

    I look forward to our journey together, to learn from you, and right to eternity with you sister!

    Indeed, may we continue to be obedient children and run the race with endurance, remembering His love and grace always. Jesus reigns!
