Comforting thoughts

I haven't blogged for a while so thought I would sneak one in.

Its a photo blog....to show 2 photos of my workplace.

This one is the entrance to my workplace blding. I like the cross at the top and how it looks against the sky.



I'm learning the grace of God upon our organization, even as it struggles with our human and systemic imperfections. Yet the organization continues to exist for its reason to fulfil God's plan.




This one is a photo of my cubicle. We shifted cubicles one week ago. And I thought God answered my prayer for a quiet and more sheltered corner, whereby I can have more space and reflect and work better. So thank God for answering my prayer. The photos are from Cambodia- postcards I bought for fund raising. And there's a framed up picture of my mission trip to C. Both sets of pictures are to remind me why I am here. Without a vision, the people will perish.

Now zoom to something at home...
A picture of a sheep soft toy that my fren gave to me recently, plus the dog soft toy my sis gave me after I failed driving test 4 years ago. It reminds me that I am dearly loved.




Everyday we are alive, is a gift from God. Learning not to sweat the small things, or to place too much importance on how people view me. But at the end of the day, I want to treasure my loved ones, my family, my close friends whom He has blessed me with. I want to remember that He has given me a dream.

Lastly, this is a song that really touched my heart. Because I am reminded that Jesus was everything, but most of all, He is love:

Third Day, Steven Curtis Chapman, Mercy Me - I See Love Lyrics

Some see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love

Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes
Some see a hero
Who set his people free

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you


With your last breath
I see love
Through your death
I see love
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour

I see love
I see love
Light of heaven breaking through (heaven breaking through)
I see grace
I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
When I see you
I see heaven breaking through
See Gods face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
I see love
I see love
When I see

Some see Him walking from an empty grave
