Saturday

The weekend flew by once again. But I'm trying to make every minute count, which usually ends up with me getting sleep-deprived and going into the office on Monday morning with a very bad grace.

Saturday was spent in Sentosa with the Barnabas Club Touch Kids leaders at a highly technical map-reading version of Amazing Race. It wasn't so bad... I managed to get some sun, which is a really refreshing change! I'm still curious as to why skin-whitening products are popping out everywhere. Tanned skin can be really nice too! White skin can make one look pasty and unhealthy. Unfortunately my tan has disappeared proportionate to the time I spend in the office and indoors in church on weekends...

I headed down to the Tabernacle after Sentosa... spent 3 fruitful hours in the chapel. I laid out an agenda, hoping to seek out the answers to some of the things that have been plaguing me. But it was funny how the moment I planted myself inside the outer courts, I was confronted with a note that said, "seek communion with God, come with no agenda". OK, point taken.

I came out with a reminder from Exodus 14: The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." I have been seeking and seeking and getting really indignant at the lack of answers, the constant wondering and the angst... And at the end of it, God is actually telling me to just stop fretting and to let Him work instead. I really didn't think of that.

My 3 hours just flew by. It really didn't seem that long. The only clue was that I was getting thirsty and cold. But I was encouraged and touched when Yating suddenly appeared when I emerged, having waited for me for 3 hrs... Hehe thanks so much!!!!
