It has been about a month since I updated my blog - a busy period for me as I am in the last phase of a project I am overseeing. I have been involved in a review and revamp of three syllabuses for the past three months or so. Two have been passed and I have one more to go. By tomorrow, if all goes well, the project will come to a close after the third syllabus is approved by the relevant authorities.
It has been a great joy working with my team. They are a bunch of committed and fun-loving people. Praise God for all of them. It is people like them who make work something to look forward to. Even though there were down times, we were able to spur one another on and overcome those difficult phases. I will miss this group but the consolation is that we are still colleagues. I am sure there will be other opportunities for us to work together again in future.
I am also trying to increase my training sessions for the Charity Bike 'n' Blade 2012. There are 102 days left. Now that my project is ending and the university holidays are here, I will cycle more especially in the areas of distance and hill-trainings.
The past few weeks have been slow-moving. Whenever I come back from work, it is either I am too tired or simply too lazy to do anything else except to relax on my bed and catch up with some readings.
Well, procrastination needs to be overcome.
Donations for my fundraising effort have been trickling in but not much in the past few weeks. I will also take the next few weeks to consider how I can appeal to more to contribute. Well, my goal is $100 for every kilometer I ride and it is confirmed that the total distance this year is 304.81km.
I am pressing on though I have to admit that it can be quite tiring to ask for donations. :)
In my last blog, I mentioned about this elderly lady whom I met on the train and my effort to connect her with the Department of Care and Counselling in Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Well, last week after bringing her husband for a check-up, she called me to inform that they need not pay for their medication anymore as they are now under the MediFund support! Praise the Lord!
She kept thanking me for helping them out and I told her it was a joy to know that they can now free themselves from the worries of meeting their medical expenses. I encouraged them in getting well and also for the auntie not to overwork herself. She said they want to give me a simple treat for the assistance rendered. After much persistence, I relented and I will be meeting them sometime next week for a meal. :)
Two weeks ago, I also attended the Youth Ministry Leaders' retreat in Pulai Springs Resort in Johor Bahru. It was a great three-day period spent together in seeking God for directions in ministry, in studying His Word, in planning and also fellowship. I really praise God for the fruitful time spent and it is evident that He is working in and through the leaders and also the youths. I am going to keep praying that our eyes will always be fixed on God - may His name be glorified and His people edifiied always in the Youth Ministry.
I have a lot more to share because lately there were a couple of thoughts running in my mind. I have also taken a considerable amount of time praying for these thoughts. Well, I will update more in the coming days and I hope I can be more consistent in my blogs.
Oh yah! I have a testimony to share about grandma. I think I have shared before that she has been suffering from incontinence. I have been praying and I have also asked the church to intercede for her. Well, in the past one week or so, I have observed that she has stopped leaking completely when she walks to the toilet! That is truly an answered prayer! Hallelujah! :)
Well, I shall stop here for now. I need to go run some errands for my parents and grandma.
The Lord bless and keep you all! :)
