Thankful Tuesdays

Thankful Tuesdays

I haven't touched the blog for a week. Have been busy even though haven't been at work. Just spending time meeting with people, chatting with no urgency of having to rush off or having to go to work the next day.
Am indeed thankful for this break. Helping me to get back to reality of living and what we are living for.



Thankful for time spent with family. Often, I worry about being alone and try to plan about how I should live if I am alone but then I forget about enjoying what I have now. How foolish! Thankful to God for opening my eyes. 

Thankful for friends who listen, not comment and are there when you need them.  Thankful for the love of God that though not always manifested accurately or in the way that the Lord might have wanted us to do, we can get glimpses of it on earth and through prayer and petition be able to also show some of this love to the people around us. 




Thankful for DG members who are growing in faith, some slower than others but all growing together. And having a small glimpse of heaven this side of it. 


Thankful for time to do the things I like to do but never have the time and to fellowship and share each other's lives while doing what you like. Thankful for lessons learnt from other's lives and though we do not always agree, we agree to love each other for You have first loved us.

I spent the weekend with friends. It is amazing that when one is away and alone, we form new bonds with friends whom you may not be with otherwise when back home. The sense of bonding together when you are away from family and friends is just great. Saturday was spent in hunter's valley. There is a festival there called lovedale long lunch. 7 vineyards come together to organise a day of wine and dine. You buy a wineglass and then you can taste wine at all 7 vineyards and $20 for a main meal and $8 for dessert. You can hop from one vineyard to another either eating a main or desert or just tasting wine. There are bands outside playing and a whole group of people sitting under the sun eating and dancing. The atmospher is just great. I went with a friend from singapore and her 2 friends from college. After that we proceeded home where we had laksa and bah ku teh, all done by ourselves! And we ate with relish. Sunday was newcomers lunch at a elders' house. It was a great time of fe

What i didn't do this weekend and what i did

This was a long weekend and like many sydneysiders, i was planning a trip out to Dubbo with friends. However, there was torrential rainfall and storms in NSW this weekend too, destroying many people's plans to go out of town. It was quite scary - as we speak, the death toll is up to 9 and there are still floodings going on in parts of NSW. There was a section of highway that collapsed and sent a family of 5 down into the river and they all died. Watch this video. Someone said that this showed the wrath of God. http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16471&rn=248153&cl=2957725&ch=885604 So what did i do in the end? We had hotpot at April and Kenneth's place. with a little alcohol - or a lot depending on who you were. Just the right food for the weather.

Woman of the world unite!

Just came back from the Woman's Katoomba Convention. It was great, a weekend of worship and learning and just people getting together. 2000 women together and totally committed to God. I think it's great. It's great that we can still get great teaching when a group of women come together. Many times, when women come together, it's to learn to cook or knit or watch crazy videos or even worse - to gossip. So it's refreshing that we can learn from God's word together effectively without the men! Relaxing in the lovely blue mountain air and sunshine and enjoying His creation.
