Happy Father's DAY!

I always share to people that my dad always reflects my heavenly Father. He has sacrifice a lot to me especially for my degree. Without him, I would not expose and experience much which helps in my ministry. Even though I have done a lot of mistakes towards him, he still love me uncontidionally.

I thank God that he accepted and respect my call from God. Not only that, he has fully supported me. Though we seldom talk, but I know he cares. I remember the moment he accepted my calling, he said this to me, "do not stop half way in what you are doing." I really admire his great patient and endurance even though he suffered a lot from his business, yet he still find way to sacrifice for family.

I really miss the time when we go to jungle together, sit on his tractor, experiencing 4wd together (my dad is a great off road driver!). Time has past so fast, I haven't do anything for my dad yet. One of the things that I want to do for him is to buy back his 4wd car. He sold it after his business failure. I know in his heart he miss his hobby. He seem to find life in that.

Anyway, may the Lord bless you, dad. Thank you for the sacrifice that you made for me and the family. Love you.

Carl's Junior and Marche

My last two days placement in FCC was blessed by food. Wonderful meals. Thank God for Timothy and Hui Ling for the blessings. Hui Ling blessed me with Carls Junior. So we went together with other staff and did something crazy after meal. I think this will happen when there is a "matured" ladies or and aunty in the office. Will upload it in the next post.

The next day, Friday is Tim's birthday, so he treated all the staff to have a wonderful meal at Marche, The Curve. I really enjoyed all the meals. It is YUMMY!! Especially the sausages. Saving now to go the one more time. Like the concept a lot, market restaurant.

Carls Junior specialty is the fries. Must eat it while its still hot.:D

Transition period again

I am back in Seremban now. Felt heavy to leave FCC. Truly enjoying my placement there. Important thing is that I felt God is working greatly in me and dealing with my emotional, spiritual and mind struggle. It is tired, but it is a process for healing and sactification that God want to prepare me in His service.

One of the staff there told me that Pastor said I am more lively when I am back in FCC. Once I heard this, I also realize that I am alive! Truly, after being outside of FCC for so long, I felt that this is what I longed for. A great and wonderful staff team that go through things together with you. I really feel the genuine and unity that we had these three weeks.

Once I back here, I realize I change again. I do not know why that there is a sense of anger in me. It affects me and my relationship. When I back to practical, I really pray hard that the spirit that I have in FCC won't leave me, but I just can't do it. I do not say God work only in specific area, but the answer that I have is the community that I have in STM, my practical church and FCC. The community are different in each place and not God is different in each place.

Semester Break

Having my semester break now. One more week I have to go back to STM life again. Transition between Seminary life and holiday have been a struggle for me and also difficult to me. I do not know why I suddenly find hard to cope with my days. But overall, everything is going fine and progressing smoothly.

I have go back to KK/Labuan for a week, two days in Labuan. Wonderful time to spend my holiday in Labuan. It has been always wonderful to spend my time in Labuan. This time back in Labuan, we did not rush here and there. We are truly enjoying our time together. It is also our first time going together and coming back together. One of the most important things is, we finally can eat the Satey together!

I am having my holiday placement in FCC. First time in history, FCC has two practical student. Practically, I am enjoying my time here with the staff team. It is very different than serving in Labuan, or any other churches. This church practices team building. Every morning we do devotion together, then clean the church (toilet, cafe, lobby and etc), maintain the church equipment, visitation and etc. We seldom touch our admin works until Thursday. Each moment we tease and laugh at each other and share our thoughts together.

Spiritually, God is continually work within my heart to continue to build up my character that fits in to a Pastoral Ministry. Now, I start to write my own journal whenever it is needed. I always see how God works in my life when I write and read back my journals. It is not to predict how God act, but is to see how God works.

My doubts about Holy Spirit start to fades away as the Lord works and after the Pentacost Sunday. I start to love the Holy Spirit and continue to be lead by Him.

I hope another week, God will continually work in my life and prepare my heart for the second semester.
