GDOP 2008

Global day of prayer 2008 marks a significant day in my life, as it was the first time I attend this big event and it was the first for darling too. As a young Christian, I was full of anxiety before the event since I was afraid there will be some people who would worship in ways i felt uncomfortable with. However, It was really a touching night and God arranged for us to sit next to Sue and Ken, australians here for visiting and they were such a blessing to us and their faithfulness, kindness showed how exemplary good Christians can be. I thought it would be great to bring my family along next year since it really gave me peace and make me want to me a better person to th society and to my very own family. I recalled how it was during my JC years, the chapel days where I felt very uncomfortable during chapel because I thought the people behaved as if they were in some cult. Now, because i understand how this can be scary to non christians, I am careful and tell myself that I should never appear like this to others. The church we attend is very important and I am glad the one we went to is family oriented and the atmosphere is welcoming.

After the event, we sent Sue and Ken back since it was on the way and this wed they are flying to Chennai for mission trip and I wish them the best. Darling and I thought it would be great if we could do the same when we retired. To do missionary and see the world at the same time.

Not only did this event at night made my day, but the morning event of mothers' day celebration began my day with happiness. We had dim sum at goodwood park and it was superb! Dajie's recommendation! Wished erjie and wujun was there with us too. Then afternoon was Andy's mum turn and it was a rather simple and inexpensive meal. Value for money! Then, we went to mutts and mittens again. This time, we walked another dog since somebody else was looking at missy. Coco is 16 years old and super gentle and obedient. My heart really melted at her sweet nature! Wished I could adopt her. Mum said I could since she thought perhaps such a good dog would mellow my mother in law, but i think the chances are very slim. We hope to walk her more often next time. We bought a new collar and lesh for missy and we are so happy to see her. Still awaiting adoption, we pray she would get a good home, or wait for us for our new home to come and she can come live with us!

Saw our new home also, 2 blocks are being painted and it is getting closer to completion date! how we wish the home would be ready soon! hope this aug!
