O my weary soul
So tired and feeling ol'
Always having to be the one
To do the work and make the run
Increase my faith O Lord my God
That I may be given peace and patience
Pour out your joy in what I have
To be thankful and content
Give me strength and shoes for my feet
Guide me along the road ahead
Cease the pain and pangs of famine
Grant me love forevermore
Amen.

New Life 2015 :)
Happy New Year dear friends :) Fast forward six months since my last post, and here we are on the first day of 2015!
Many things and life events have taken place in the past 12 months, from having a new baby niece joined our family, to a new job, to a proposal from Mr Man :) I have so much to be thankful for and I know that I could not have possibly got through the year without the Lord's strength and guidance.
No doubt 2014 had been rather challenging when I started the year on a rocky road (my favourite ice-cream flavour but hard to swallow in real life terms!). The job situation was challenging but the Lord paved the way for me to have a break and blessed me with a job I had my eyes on. It's amazing how things just unfold and sometimes when you are feeling really down in the dumps and not quite seeing 'it' or understanding why things have to be this way, God just moves in His mysterious ways and surprises you!
Having been in ministry work for so long, I felt that the time has come for me to pause all ministry activities while I transit and prepare myself for the major changes taking place soon in my life. It's temporary and I will return later this year. I can understand why some people may not be too pleased with my decision as we are in the middle of making some big plans for the implementation and rolling out of new programmes etc, that I had chosen to 'leave' but I wished they can understand why the move was imperative for me at this present life stage I am in. To be honest, there is never a good time to 'leave' and just for the record I ain't leaving, and I will be back. To conclude, I am at peace with my decision, and I am taking a time-out to settle other matters that requires my attention and time. However, I have to say I felt very disappointed with the response (or lack of it) received, but I was sharply reminded that it is the Lord I serve, and it is unto Him that I shall please. Anyway I love these people and will continue to keep them in prayer that they will be renewed in their service to the Lord and His people.
So yes, it's 2015 and time for preparation for a new chapter in life. Goals for this year will be to step up on the workouts, eating cleanly, saving wisely and be a good steward in all areas of my life! Thanks be to God!
Have a blessed 2015, everyone! Stay happy and healthy :)
