so much to thank God for

God has blessed me with so much and i thank God for them!

1. My wonderful sms prayer bunch whom i smses both on wed and thu for different prayer requests and i believe God heard their prayers!!!! Wed I was feeling real down and out... physically i was falling ill... my nose kept dribbling and i felt plain awful! real awful actually... i sent my sms out at 11plus am and by the time lunch was over i felt better! my nose had stopped running and i felt so much better... i didn't even take any flu medicine.. took two panadols much earlier cos felt a little feverish... but panadols has never stopped dribbly noses before... so yeah! praise God for answering my and my friends' prayers! thu i was leading chapel at work... and i've been pondering on what to share for almost two months now... i knew what i wanted to share a long time ago but thoughts on how to go about it kept brewing... so finally on wed, altho feeling slightly under the weather, i sat down at my laptop and put together a powerpoint presentation that had a quiz in it... doing the presentation itself was such fun and a joy that i thank God for it too... and God once again heard our prayers cos the sharing went by smoothly and it went well... you know that feeling u get deep down inside when u know a task has been accomplished well... and yet this was even more special cos it was a task accomplished well by God's grace and sufficient thought and prayer put into it... so i was very very very thrilled it went well. I think those who came enjoyed it... and i enjoyed sharing very much too...
   
2. I placed 24 chairs out for chapel and every single seat was filled. as in i think there were exactly 24 pple in the room.. now the thing is, usually attendance is about 15-20 ppl, so to know that every single seat placed out in faith was filled, made me really glad... =)
   
3. Plus i recently got a change in my position at work... it was effective as of yesterday but since i was on leave yesterday, my boss let me shift my things over to my new desk on thu... albeit a smaller table but that means not having to be a secretary anymore! woohoo... lol... nonono... don't get me wrong, nothing bad about being his secretary but i guess it was time i needed a greater challenge and this new position allows me to have that challenge.
   
4. Change in position also meant an increase in remuneration and for that i'm very glad cos that has allowed me to bless quite a number of people... i truly thank God for blessing me and in turn i can bless others... it might not be a lot to some, but it's an impression in my heart and i give what i can when i can... so to have been able to give more this past week has really made me very happy... last night i treated those who came for prayer meeting to macs... and it felt really nice to have been able to treat the uncles and aunties who have seen me grow up in church... heehee... just to see them chatting and eating happily made me really happy... my sis told me thank you too for the cheeseburger i bought her... heehee... i'm glad she liked it...
   
5. my dear friend blessed me with a chinese bible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've been carrying it around and reading it when i can... not that i can read half the words, but i figure things out a bit... love it! and the note in the front of the bible from her made the bible all the more precious!
   
6. since i was on leave yesterday, i was able to sleep in till abt 8.15am and that was sheer bliss... i've had a very hectic few weeks as u can tell from earlier entries, so to be able to wake up past 8 was like amazing!
   
7. it was a truly lovely day yesterday too... took my two tuition kids, yufei and yulian bowling. my new membership with starbowl allowed me to pay $2 a game!!!!! lol... we bowled 17 games in total.. lol... plus they had bumpers for kids so yufei and yulian were able to bowl and get relatively high scores... in fact yufei got a whooping 129 for one of his games... was so proud of him.. he was sparing like a pro... xiang came along too so i got some decent conversation. cos as some of u may know my tuition kids are simply quiet... i'm lucky if they say more than three words to me in a reply to my question. lol... so yesh, xiang kept my sanity... i brought my bowling gear along too... and i think from the first time i bowled several weeks back after a long while, i'm slowly improving... =) funfun... after the bowling it was all relaxation and nua-ing out... till evening when we had a missions trip meeting and prayer meeting.
   
8. missions trip meeting was great! i really really really really thank God for our team leader. she's like whoa!!!!!!!!!!!yeap yeap... plus i got the role i wanted... cos we were supposed to mail her our top three choices, and i got what i wanted... really want to try something new... so i'm now officially the reporter/videographer/photographer of our trip! so exciting! love it love it love it! =) =) =)
   
9. and thursday evening i went bowling with three colleagues! it was a very relaxed time... and as we exclaimed and woohooed in joy at strikes and spares, i noticed the looks on nearby secondary sch students... it was the 'so old still act like that!' look.. i was very amused... cos i remember looking at the 'older' ones in the past thinking the same thing.. but i guess when u reach the working age, u are like, this is so fun compared to the dread and dreary everyday work that u let your hair down and have fun! =) look forward to more of such outings...
   
10. today! i will be going to ecp with several colleagues for a cycling and nua-ing outing... meeting them at 430pm... should be a relaxed evening.. hope it's fun... never really organised such a thing at work before with some many different people involved... lol... so really hope it turns out well...
    
11. had a nice brunch with my sister earlier too... hearing her funny stories was fun. i'm glad we get this sister hanging out times... tho we're 8 years apart in age, it like doesn't matter when we hang out.. she's probably one of the coolest, wittiest older sister anyone could ever have... plus she's soooo funny... heehee.. even when i drawl 'che... i don't care...' secretly it's just because she expects me to say it, but actually she velli clever one lor.. practically everything also know one... =) *hands cheche the kleenex... err wait.. our house uses paseo*.. heehee... akeelah the bee k cheche? we'll fix a date and time soon... *hugsies and muacksies*
12. oh yes and i got to meet up with a jc friend on tue... it was nice catching up... so glad to keep a friendship... but walking next to him and talking always puts me perilously close to getting a neckache cos he's sooooo tall! heehee.. it's no wonder everyone thinks of him when they see giraffes! lol...
    
13. mon's tennis lesson was great too... my coach complimented me and i was beaming from ear to ear inside cos one can never get too much affirmation.. lol... it was fun.. only two more lessons tho.. so that's the only bummer... but ah well, will go sign up for other things that i wanna learn... or maybe go bowl more or something... see how... =)
    
14. last night winnie msged to arrange for a date to meet... she's one friend i truly appreciate... cos we both put in effort into keeping this friendship and it's not just on my end that i suggest to meet.. it's two-way... so happy! =)
    

will go off to pack my room now... it's in such a state at the moment cos i've been too busy to do anything other then leave them on my table tops after work... lol... can't stand it.. i thank God i've got my daddy's organised genes... otherwise i'll go quite mad in the mess! =)

blessed weekend all!
