There Lies My Faith

Image
The search for a job was never an easy task for anyone. Its the same with Mad Cat. We have been praying for a job and asking Him to provide for us. It took awhile, it some time and it definitely took lots of patience. When Mad Cat was finally offered a job with a multi national company, we were excited and thankful to Him for His goodness. But this too tested my faith. Earnestly I have prayed that He will provide opportunities for Mad Cat that no man can take away. Yet, caution words from colleagues had set me worrying that the job opportunity is not well secure by mere words of confirmation from the company without an appointment letter in hand. I called Mad Cat on the phone, relaying the message and cautioned him not to resign without a letter of appointment. But Mad Cat gently told me that everything will be fine. As I placed the receiver down, guilt overwhelmed me and I realised how 'faithless' I have been. He has answered my prayers but yet I have chosen to misplace my fai...

Whose Child Am I?

I sat in the living room wondering what I should do with the time in my hands on a weekday. As I sat on my balineses mat spread in my living room, I decided to have a chat with Him.

Festive Mood

The long week break has just swiftly swept by through my life. It was too fast, too soon and too quick to have come to an end. This Chinese New Year was the beginning of my journey marking the reality in life that I no longer a single reckless young girl but a woman married to not just the man she loves but his family as well. We left home to the north leaving behind my very own home in the rear mirror, for the very first time in my life to spend Chinese New Year away. Without my parents. A tinch of sadness flooded my heart when I laid my head to rest during the long journey in the splitting hot sun in the tropical heat. But I can't deny the love demonstated in this wonderful family that had welcomed me into their lives 2 months ago. 3 sons, was all they have but 3 daughters-in-law is what they gained. Mad Cat's other 2 siblings ...
