I really do believe that God has His own timing for everything.

One interesting thing this week that showed God's timing was meeting up with Christon (a friend from my cell group, Hearts United). He's leaving back to Perak this Friday to continue his studies after his 6months internship here in KL, so Rachel and I decided to meet him on Wednesday before he leaves.

The interesting thing was, that my cell had a last minute plan to have a farewell dinner for Christon on Thursday. I only read the e-mail about it Thursday afternoon. Coincidentally,Chel and I had to go to church for praise and worship practice. We could have decided to see him on Thursday, but somehow felt that we should see him on Wednesday.

So, God HAS his own timing for everything.haha.. Everything happens for a reason. So when sometimes, things don't happen, do not worry because God is ALWAYS in control. :)

Love,

I hope it's not too late to wish everyone.. a BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!

I've been wanting to post something up, but I just did not get the time to. I just saw my chat box a lil' while ago and Christon requested me to post something..so here goes..haha..

Well, for now, just a short summary of what has been happening :)

Since stepping into 2010, it has been great. 2009 was a year of expanding my capacity in many ways, having to do things beyond what I thought I could handle (my capacity did expand with God's help of course). I thank God for 2009 and I'm excited for 2010. Aren't you?

2010 will be a year of growing in depth. Growing deeper spiritually especially and also in other aspects.

After new year, I have been just spending time at home, watching korean drama's(Got hooked to it thanks to my cousin Janice. I actually finished watching 2 korean drama series in just 3days). Besides that, I tried my very best to start doing my Final Year Project(FYP a.k.a thesis) and I manage to do some, THANK GOD.

One of the best things that I went for before class started this Monday(18/1/10) was ATONE retreat!!! For those who do not know what ATONE is, it is actually the name of the Praise & Worship Ministry in church.

I joined ATONE last year, and this was my first retreat. It was held at Serenity, Bentong, Pahang. I had lots of fun with all the ATONE members!!! Ate a lot (food was yummylicious :P), learned how to play the new Monopoly card game (once you know how to play, it's addictive and it's really fun), played Mafia ( the werewolf version, it was really fun seeing everyone being so defensive and detective-ish), had a good time worshiping, listening to Ps.Lee choo on the direction of ATONE this year, listening to all the sub-departments, fun-purpose-games, chatting and just having a good time.

The scenery was breathtaking and I actually got to see peacocks (I wasthiscloseto a peacock!!), turkeys, chickens, gooses, guinea pigs, rabbits, peasants, love birds. Cut the story short, it was such a fun retreat!! :)

Classes started on Monday and I'm actually happy with my timetable and also the lecturers so far. God is good.

Before I sign off, here are some pictures from the ATONE retreat (taken with my faithful sonyericsson phone).
