Recollections and Reflections

Wow! Time and tide really waits for no man. Again, we're in the last hours of 2009. Actually, I should be in church celebrating 2009 and ushering 2010 with my spiritual family. However, the plan had to be altered cuz need to accompany my mother.

In the month of December, I thanked God that I could celebrate Christmas with 3 groups of friends, though one of which, cannot be classified as Christmas celebration.

Though I was down with flu from mid November, my commitment to the ID Service wasn't affected. Praise God for enabling me to hold firm to Him, hence, to be able to fulfil my duty and to glorify His Mighty Name with my Brothers and Sisters who are intellectually disabled.

The past year had indeed brought me many challenges in many fronts, firstly when the first set of managers could no longer pay my salary. It was made known to me in March. Almost instantaneously, God provided another person who took me according to the terms and conditions offered by the previous managers. the changing of jobs, switching to a new career path came about in mid July when I decided to leave telemarketing and to pursue a different journey. This job offered me a consultant's post, in which, I accepted as I could be in contact with more people, and at the same time, to try to start my own business. God alloted me some funds in which I was able to acquire a desktop pc at a very reasonable price. Praise His Great Name!!

In October, Dialogue-in-the-Dark Social Enterprise made it's entry into Singapore via Ngee Ann Polytechnic. I decided to join my friends and am currently enjoying myself serving in the capacity of a tour guide in this unique exhibition.

The trip to Hill Songs Conference had to be postponed to 2010 due to the H1N1 pandemic. At first, it was very disappointing. However, I always believe God makes everything beautiful in His time. Hence, I choose to believe it will come into fruition in 2010.

I joined a new cell group in April. It is not completely new, for most of my cell members were from the previous group.

There are many things to recall and reflect. However, I believe that 2010 will bring new breakthroughs and new things to look forward to.

Good-by 2009 and Welcome 2010. See you in 2010!
