This whole week has been such a blessed week for me! Although it's only like the very start of wednesday.
Monday, monday, oh oh! We had a complementary badminton coach when we played badminton on monday, how cool is that! Met up with Joshua(ong) and yinlin to play badminton and all of a sudden this guy looking like some 黑社会老大 came into the court and played doubles with us.
While playing, he kept advising us on what to do and stuff with alot of patience. In the end, he ended up coaching us in detail and even asked us to have a friendly run when we lost a match, like a real training session!
HAHA this is so funny! I was asking yanping to type out the chinese characters for me on msn so I can blog, then she forgot to change the language back to english!

u体育pefo妇女内衣我入党算？
HAHA! 妇女内衣我入!! It literally means I'm going into some woman's underwear. Funnyyyyyy!
Anyways, back to the badminton playing gang-leader-lookalike. He has tattoos down his arm and looks super buff but I tell you, he's the most patient and encouraging coach I have ever met! Wow it was a really enjoyable badminton session with him, I learnt so much. :)
How blessed is that right, God placed us at the right place at the right time. Too bad we didn't take a picture with him. :/
Tuesday, tuesday. Yinlin and I needed to choreograph a dance for my caregroup in church. Was quite worried about how we're going to go about doing it at first but then somehow, we managed to do up the whole dance in like 2 hours! Girls and guys part too! Ahaha blessed with erm, ideas. :) And by investing time to serve God, He's going to bless us with double portion of time!
Was sharing with my caregroup the other day about how life this year has been for me. Seriously this year has been such a blessed, blessed, blessed year. Every day, in everything that I do, I can see God's footsteps in my life guiding me, leading me. That is the ultimate blessing in my life and from there, all the other awesome blessings come along. :)
God Almighty Himself taking me by my hand and guiding me to the best pathway of my life, giving me the best that life can offer and yet, who am I do deserve such awesome love? Haha that's a question I ask myself often.
To the world I am nothing, yet to the most powerful Being in the universe, I am everything to Him. I want to remain in this love forever.
I'm alive in You Jesus. ♥
Here's a posting I found: :)
I was on a plane yesterday flying to Florida. Behind me sat a father with his two small children. The boy seemed excited to be on the plane and kept looking out the window. He would tell everyone to “look how high we are” and “now were turning.” Being a former “white-knuckled” flier myself, I am sure that his announcements didn’t sit too well with some of the people on the plane who just wanted the ride over with and to be back on solid ground again.
But as he made his announcements, his sister just sat between him and her father and never said a word.
I started to fall asleep when I heard this little voice from behind me say “Dad, I’m scared.” Her father told her that there was nothing to be scared about.
She was quiet for another minute or two and then she said again “but Dad I’m scared.”
Then in this meek little voice, in which you could hear her anxiety, she both said and asked at the same time “Daddy? Hold my hand?”
How many times have we been in the same position as this little girl? It doesn’t have to be a plane ride that we are scared or worried about. We can be scared or worried about anything at any time; nonetheless, we all have times when we have that little voice inside of us that would like to say “Hold my hand.”
We may no longer have our parents to hold our hands when we are scared. We may now be the person that is asked to hold someone’s hand to comfort them. We may need to be strong for others.
No matter how strong we are in our effort to comfort others, there are times when the scared child lives inside of us.
In those times who do WE, the strong ones, turn to for our comfort?
We turn to God.
God’s own words tell us::
“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13
God wants to hold our hand and comfort us. All we need to do is ask for His comfort and then take His hand.
When we got off the plane in Florida, I saw the little girl reach up and take her fathers hand again. This time not for comfort but, rather, as an unspoken “Thank you daddy. I love you.”
