Missions Still Accomplishing

I have been down with food poisoning since Sunday. I do not know what caused it and I shall not point fingers. Yesterday I went to see the doctor. As my fever was high and my diarrhoea was bad, I was given two days of medical leave.

Sunday was really a torture for me - I went to church in the morning but upon arriving, my tummy was churning; bones were aching and I was feeling lethargic. I also needed to purge. In the end, I had no choice but to grab a cab home. It was from then on that I was bedridden. Temperature went up to a high of 38.5 degrees Celsius and I visited the toilet countless times. I also felt dehydrated. Throughout the day I felt weak.

Thanks be to God for His healing power! Though my tummy is still a little unwell, my fever has subsided and I am up and about! :)

The remaining part of this week will be quite busy for me - I have to write the Last Local Conference report for my role as the Missions Committee chairperson in the church. I struggle as I consider what I should include in the report. It is so easy to jot all the accomplishments for the year and make the report looks good but are these the things which matter? There are a lot of burdens but I just do not know where to start. Anyway, the deadline is Friday and I shall pray that the Lord will just guide my heart as I write.

In my four years as the chairperson of this area of ministry, I learnt that the missions ministry is not about accomplishing tasks but winning lives. The question is are we doing more of the latter? Sometimes I feel the church is not. Yes, teams are being sent out each year; funds are being disbursed; and meetings are held to consider what other areas of assistance we may offer but are these enough?

Anyway, I still have a lot to learn in this ministry. For those of you reading this blog and are my fellow siblings-in-Christ, pray for me. :) One comfort I hold in my heart is that I know I have a great God whose mind and wisdom and plans are far better than mine! I am sure He had all these figured out and I look forward to learning more from Him.

The next few days I have a couple of meetings to chair and attend at work. I won't be surprised when I go back to office tomorrow, there will be a backlog of work on my desk. Well, though it sounds daunting, I shall try to deal with them joyfully. Haha.

I just realised after this weekend, the following two weekends I will be away in Malaysia. One in Pulai Springs from 4 to 7 September where I will be attending the Young Methodist Leaders' Conference as a mentor. Then on 13 and 14 September, I will be in Malacca with the running gang for a getaway - pigging out and fellowshipping with one another!

Well, time to end here.

Christ's Name Glorified; His People Edified!

Just finished writing an article and since it is going to be lunch-time, I decided to take a break and blog something that has been bothering me. It burdens me because it has got to do with my fellow siblings-in-Christ. It is my prayer that the Lord will show me more of what I should do and at the end of day, the name of Christ glorified and His people edified.

Last night I met my accountability group consisting of three other younger brothers-in-Christ. We were sharing about our Encounters with God and people; Struggles that we are currently going through; and our Desires.

During our fellowship, we shared about our burdens for a particular sibling-in-Christ especially the individual's behaviour - the cold treatment towards others; the judgmental attitude; the pessimism; the constant ranting of the "I, me and myself". Because of all these, many have shunned this dear individual.

Though the usual way is to avoid the person since many are turned off, we reminded each other that we should not react as the world would. We told each other that we should not shun anyone but instead we should always pray and seek the Lord to bridge the gap. Though it will be a dirty job and probably awkward and tense, we are now praying that the Lord will show us how we can actually approach this dear friend of ours and share about our burdens.

I think it is important to remind ourselves that the love of God in us does not teach us to distant ourselves away when someone has done something wrong to us. Instead it should compel us to do what the world does not want to do - that is to confront, rebuke, and make up (reconciliation, that is).

Well, I am already praying for the individual and I hope situation will get better soon. May the Lord be our help and guide.

Last night, I had to confront a 13-year old boy who was smoking freely with two of his friends who are 18 years old. As I did not want the situation to turn ugly, I asked his two friends to stay away while I had a talk with the youth. I was burdened as to why at such a young age, he was already learning to smoke.

Well, he shared it was due to peer pressure. Though he said he will not smoke again, I hope he will not say it to get out of the situation he was in. I advised him to use the money meant to buy cigarettes for other items which may be more beneficial. He nodded. Before I let him go, I asked him to throw away the stick and whatever were in his possession. I hope the Lord will help this young individual to kick his habit.

I won't be surprised if one day I get beaten up for being a busybody but I shall trust the Lord's protection to be upon me as I confront individuals like the youth above.

Anyway, time to end here. Thanks be to God for encounters, struggles and desires! :)

"Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Corinthians 5:11-21

Break Walls; Build Friendship

I wanted to blog last night but I was too tired to do so after coming back from a friend's 21st birthday celebration. Anyway, now that I am taking a break from reading some articles, I thought I jot a line or two.

Yesterday was my sister's eldest sister's 21st birthday. I knocked off from work earlier so that I can join the both of them plus another of their guy-friend for shopping and also doing some other interesting activities.

We met at Wisma Atria since the birthday-girl wanted to use her gift vouchers at one of the shops. We found out that it was closed for renovation. We then headed for Ngee Ann City where the princess of the day bought a couple of stuff while her entourage followed. :)

Last Saturday my sister and I went to Little India as she wanted to have some henna-painting done on her hand. We also wanted to have eye-brow threading done so as to shape and neaten them. This is my first time. I was a little apprhensive but after much coaxing from my sister and the friendly beautician, I decided to go ahead. It was interesting - not painful and at the end of it all, my eye-brows are nicer now. Haha.

As we really enjoyed the excellent service from the shop, my sister and I decided to bring her sister and the guy-friend to this lady again. She was so happy to see us. Eye-brow threading was done on the birthday girl and her friend. In the end both of them loved it. Henna-painting was also done on the birthday lady's shoulder-blade and hand. The beautician did the henna-painting on the hand free since she knew about the 21st birthday celebration that we were having. Very kind of her!

I am happy to have known this lady - very friendly and motherly. I guess friendship can be forged just by merely removing walls of pride and prejudice. I forsee all of us going to her regularly and I look forward to it as I am interested to know this lady more. In fact, my sister and I are going to meet her again soon. We have made appointments with her for facial treatments on Thursday evening. Haha.

We also did some shopping and bought a couple of bags. Oh yah, if ever you want to buy stuff from Little India, do BARGAIN! Do also check prices from a few shops first before buying. We wanted to purchase a bag from one of the shops but since we felt that the quote was a little too high, we gave it a miss and moved on. Guess what? At one of the alleys where the push-carts were, the price for the same bag was almost 40 percent cheaper. Well, there you go!

Anyway, praise God! After Little India it was off to Haji Lane where we ate at Blue Jazz and played some games. We had fun as we talked and joked about school, friends and also families. We also made the birthday girl eat the cake and ice-cream without using her hands. She had to also eat a strawberry using the dessert spoon but without her hands. Haha.

It was home after that. I was so exhausted that I actually slept quite early. :)

Anyway, here's praising God for old and new friends! They really lighten up my day in many ways all the time!

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Go With The Beat!

When I was in church in the earlier part of the day, I had one meeting with the leaders of the mission teams. We were basically discussing the preliminary aspects of the trip and I was very encouraged to see the enthusiasm in them. Praise the Lord!

Two teams will be sent out this year - one from the Children's Ministry and the other from the Youth Ministry. Thanks be to God that 10 children will be going and accompanying them are their parents. I am looking forward to how God can use the families to touch the lives of the Khmer people, mainly the children from the orphanages and villages.

I hope after the trip, I can testify to the church that if God can use these young ones to minister, surely He can also use the adults to make a difference in the lives of others, both locally and overseas!

While I was heading for the 11:15am service, I met a brother-in-Christ. As we fellowshipped, he shared with me his burdens for the missionaries from my church. In the end, I sat down with him and we spoke about how else we can support these servants of God in the areas of finance and prayer. I enjoyed the time spent with this dear brother and I look forward to more members of the church approaching me to share about their concerns for the work of missions. It should be that way - missions is the heartbeat of God! Every Christian must be involved in this work. Every Christian should contribute in all aspects! I pray there will be more awakenings and it is my desire that one day every member of my church will be involved in the Great Commission.

I hope that "one day" I mentioned above will come soon because there are so many souls and so much work yet to save and to be done respectively.

Singapore won the Olympics silver medal for table tennis - after 48 years! Congratulations! I hope this would be the beginning of more medals in subsequent Olympics.

Anyway, I shall stop here for now.

Looking forward to the brand new week ahead. No idea how it would turn out but I shall anticipate the many adventures I would be encountering. :)

Good night, everyone!

Tending Your Inner Garden

It is lunch-time now. I decided to pack in this afternoon. I basically did my favourite smoked salmon sandwiches. Four slices of bread in all. Haha. I did not have breakfast so decided to have a heavier lunch. I know it does not work that way. Just feel like being a pig today. Actually I am beginning to look like one - the varsity holidays have caused me to balloon quite a bit from all the pig-out sessions with friends and all.

Anyway, this morning before I went to office, I decided to go for a walk with my doggy. I needed to spend some time with the Lord because lately I have been feeling that I am drifting away from Him and needed to get back on track again.

I have not been reading His Word and praying enough. Perhaps I am trying to get back to the momentum of work as well as balancing it with family commitments, ministries and time spent with friends.

The above paragraph is probably an excuse because if God is pre-eminent in my life then I will not be struggling with setting time daily to commune with Him.

Anyway, during the walk, I told the Lord that He will still come first in my life and that nothing will cause me to compromise! It may be a struggle initially but with His help, I am sure I will be able to prioritise my time accordingly.

It is scary to know that one's behaviour is directly linked to one's closeness with God. I say this because in the past two weeks or so, my attitude towards life and people have been rather negative. I lose my temper easily. I tend to be more materialistic. I have not been as compassionate as before. I have been very self-centered and egoistic. I have been very laid-back. I have slackened in my ministries. I have also been rather disorganised.

This reminded me of what Gordon MacDonald said in his book, "Ordering Your Private World" - he mentioned that our lives is like that of a garden. If one is closed to God, then the garden is in good order but if one is not, then the whole garden will be in a mess. How true that is!

Well, thanks be to God for reminding me to order my life again. It is time and I have to - for the sake of others around me and for myself.

I guess that is all I want to share for now.

"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:1-17

Puppies Looking For Homes

Two Mixed Breed Puppies Up For Adoption

The photos above are the puppies I was talking about. The right one is now at a brother-in-Christ's home and the other is at the groomer's. They are mixed breed and 6 to 8 weeks old. They will probably grow to mid-size. Mild tempered and playful.

They are just so adorable. :)

Well, feel free to drop me a note if you know of anyone who may be interested to adopt these cute doggies.

Dogs Need Home!

I was with my sister this evening at Vivocity. Before that we went to Pet Lovers Centre to look at all the dogs and hamsters on display. We also went to the grooming section. It was here where the both of us were drawn to two puppies. The groomer was playing with them. Then we saw this sign requesting for customers to adopt these puppies (mixed breed). We started talking to the groomer about them. When I was told that should these puppies are not adopted in the next one week, they would be sent to SPCA where they will be put down.

When I heard that, I just had to do something. I called a brother-in-Christ to ask whether he wants to first foster one of the pups and then consider adopting it after a week. He said he needed to discuss with his wife.

While my sister and I were having dinner, I got a message that they were willing to foster one of them. We were so elated to hear that. After our meal, we headed back to the pet shop and waited for my brother-in-Christ and his family to come over. They seemed to love the puppy and my friend's wife might even want to adopt it. Well, I sure hope they would.

Another brother-in-Christ is also interested. Well, should any of you reading this blog want to adopt the puppies, feel free to drop me a message and I will channel you to the groomer. :) The doggies are both light brown in colour, 6 to 8 weeks old, very good nature and healthy. They will probably grow to mid-size.

My sister and I left the shop with great joy knowing that both puppies have a home to sleep in tonight - one will be at the groomer's home and the other my friend's. Praise the Lord!

Time for me to go and sleep now - waking up later to watch the Champions' League qualifying rounds where Liverpool will be playing. I hope I can wake up though. :)

Good night, every one!

We Are All Equal!

Today has been a busy day for me - had two meetings in the morning and in the afternoon I had to read loads of reports. By the time I was done, I was mentally drained. I headed home from work quite early. I just needed to get away from all the busyness and just spend some time with God in prayer and reading of His Word.

Though I have not blogged for almost a week, I learnt a couple of things these few days. Last Friday I followed my sister to Max Pavilion at Singapore Expo to attend the Love Singapore rally. It was a time of prayer for the nation since that day was the eve of National Day. This event is held annually.

The speaker reminded the thousands of Christians at the rally to show love for all the foreign workers in Singapore. They amount to about a million in this island-nation. It never occurred to me that there are so many of them.

I thought the message was very appropriate - these individuals have come here to earn a living for themselves and also to provide for their families back in their respective homelands and yet they have been abused physically, emotionally and mentally by Singaporeans. Some have even lost their lives here and yet we do not give much thoughts to their overall needs. I dare to even say that many times we do not treat them as fellow humans - as equals. We are no different to those slave-drivers in the days of old!

There was a segment where all the foreign workers who are working here were asked to come forward so that they would be prayed for. There was another invitation for those who would like to pray for these individuals to come forward. I decided to go forward.

I prayed for a brother from Myanmar. I put my hand over his shoulders as I interceded for him. In the midst of the intercession, he began to weep. When I ended my prayer, I just kept quiet and continued to be with Yorng. After a while, he looked up and thanked me for the prayers. We shook hands and went back to our respective seats.

Since last Friday, I made it a point to say a short prayer for all foreign workers whom I would cross path with. I hope this will remind me that they too are God's created beings and that I should respect and treat them as I would for my fellow Singaporeans.

In fact, I was convicted to see every one with the eyes of God - there should not be pride and prejudice. There is no such thing as a caste system.

Oh yah, another point to add - we will be accountable to God one day for what we do here on earth. It is not too late for all of us to repent now! It is not that difficult to do so - just love as God loves. There is also less strife in loving than abusing. :)

Well, I have to confess it is not easy since we are all humans but it is also not impossible. I pray the Lord will help me as I persevere in this area of my pilgrim's journey - whatever that is left of it.

I have a lot more to share but shall do so another day! :) Oh yah, the varsity's break has caused my waistline to expand - since my knees are better now, I shall run again. I basically need to exercise. Inertia is there but for the sake of being a good steward to this body God has given me, I shall press on! Haha.

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." Matthew 25:31-46

We Are Either Light Or Darkness. Please Choose

I was in the East this evening. I had initially planned to go Chinatown to buy some toiletries. In the end, I decided to spend some time with God by the beach. Well, my outfit of a pair of jeans and Polo-Tee were not really that suitable but I decided to put discomfort aside and commune with God by the breakwater.

My heart was troubled. That was why I needed to go somewhere quiet to be with my Heavenly Father. I was basically very fed-up and angry at how weak Christians (myself included) can be at times though we have an Almighty God by our side. Just so ironic that in church we worship and praise a God who is great and yet when we are in the world, we become turtles with our heads always hidden in our shells and allowing others to kick us around.

Where is God exactly in our lives?

Lately I have been struggling with people's impression of me. Deep down in my heart I know I have not done anything wrong in the sight of God and yet because of my fear of what people might say or misunderstand, I become uneasy and troubled.

I have also come across other siblings-in-Christ sharing with me about their fears for the future - listening to what the world says that in order to survive they have to work super hard and to be doubly sure of what their goals are in life. In the process they take things into their own hands - building treasures on earth and not in heaven.

There were other cases where Christians have to lie because of others - could be their bosses, parents, siblings, friends, pastors/mentors/leaders, etc. It is not that these people asked them to lie (though it can happen sometimes by certain of these persons mentioned) but it is more so because of these people that they had to lie! It could be out of fear that the bosses might scold them; it could because parents are over-protective; it could be friends showing concern in the wrong way which in the end leads to cases of gossiping; it could be pastors/mentors/leaders laying out too much rules and instilling fear; etc.

There were yet other incidents where we know of others committing something wrong and yet we do not have the guts to tell them so - cheating when tearing parking coupons, tapping the EZ-Link card earlier than they are supposed to, pocketing the extra change when buying some stuff in a supermarket, etc.

The above-mentioned are just some examples of how coward Christians can be at times. We were supposed to be living in the light, yet so many of us still live in darkness or in the shadows of others. Have we been truly set free? I really do not know.

I sought the Lord's forgiveness for having undermined Him; for not being His ambassador in this world I live in; for not being courageous; and above all, for not regarding Him 100% as my Lord and Saviour.

I know this will be a constant struggle as I continue with my pilgrim's journey. As Christians, we must remember that God has set us free from the slavery of sin and death once and for all. We are no longer slaves to others or to the patterns of this world. God has given us a mind of our own and if we can align that with His Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit in us, we can do the right thing and always be a light everywhere we go. Darkness can never consume us anymore!

Well, that was what I was reminded of when I stood before God in quiet and reading His Word.

"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." Ephesians 5:1-21

Anxiety Is Hazardous To One's Health

It has been a week since I last blogged. Well, the whole of last week has been filled with activities. I was busy preparing for the Missions Ministry's Exhibition at my church's fundraising dinner. I had to also help my sister plan and prepare for her sister's 21st birthday party. I was also engrossed with work matters - having to file and submit reports before the semester commences.

Busyness has been the word for the week. Another word which I had to battle with was "anxiety"! I was reminded from the these few days of manic that if God is not included in what I do, then surely I will begin to panic because my human wisdom can only last me that long.

It also affected my health because the past week, I had been experiencing consistent headaches and my tummy had this churning effect. I know God has been with me all these while though as I had been prompted time and again to slow down, to be quiet before Him and to submit everything I was doing to Him. When I did that, there was a sense of peace in my heart. Praise the Lord for that!

As I look back now, I am also thankful that all have come to past. Everything went smoothly and successfully!

I managed to get all the posters out in time for the exhibition. I am grateful to God that those who visited the Missions Ministry's booth were blest. Some of them have expressed interested to support this area of God's work. Glory to God for that!

The 21st birthday party for my sister's sister also went pretty well. It was quite hilarious when it came to the part where we brought out the birthday cake. My sister's sister was blindfolded. Every one was given a sparkler but what was not considered was the smoke that these sparklers would create.

Every one lighted it and the next thing we knew - there was a smoke-out!!! The best and funny thing was this - every one ran out choking but the poor birthday girl was still standing in the smoke-filled room wondering what was going it. The smoke got too overwhelming for her that she took out her blindfold, was stunned for a moment (probably thinking she was in heaven since the room was as white as snow), and then she ran out choking, with her eyes tearing - guess she was touched by what her friends had done for her. Haha.

It was a photographer's nightmare for me. I was all ready to capture the moment when every one would sing the birthday song; when the birthday girl would make a wish and blow out the candles; when she would make a thank-you speech; etc. Of course none of these happened! When I looked through the viewfinder, all I got was white smoke. Hee.

Though the above-mentioned was funny, I was also concerned that the sparklers would set fire to the mattresses which were placed near the birthday cake. I was also concerned that the water-sprinklers would be activated but thank God there was none of that in the room.

Well, I guess the party has been a memorable one for guests and host alike. Haha. My sister and I are also happy that the birthday girl loved the gifts we got for her. There was a total of 14 presents, wrapped individually and had a riddle on each one of them. The birthday girl had to solve the riddle first before opening it. Well, the both of us had fun torturing her. :)

I shall stopped her for now as I have a couple of stuff to submit pertaining to work. God has been good always. Looking forward to experiencing more of Him as I journey on!
