Sometimes you say too much, drowning my voice with your words
When all is really needed is your listening ear
Words in my ears

I’m leaving on a Jet Plane
January 15, 2009 at 3:49 pm (Career Moments)
It’s confirmed!
I’ll be flying down to Singapore in 3 days time for a work assignment that may last for at least 2 months. Flights ticket have been confirmed, accommodation and other logistics are being looked into now, packing to be done tonight and some important things that need to be purchased: webcam and headset/microphone (unless my old one still works).
I am…
…excited because I finally get to sharpen my skills and experience a change of environment (clean streets, efficient public transportation, beautiful gardens, worth-the-visit museums!)
…nervous because of the workload that I am to anticipate. I am praying that I am able to adjust from a laid back lifestyle to a hectic one. Nonetheless, God is my Strength. It shall be lesson 101 on reliance and loving Him even more.
…sad because I am already missing Gabe, family, gal friends, CG members etc.
…humbled to see the hand of God in my life. 
And amazed at His grace. Deeply indebted to Him.
Another chapter, another grand adventure with the Lord. Despite some nervousness, I am looking forward to it.
Bye Bye Work Life Balance

I shall soon kiss my very balanced work life balance lifestyle goodbye and greet the hectic lifestyle that was to be my badge when I first started to work in this company. :p
“When things are not moving, nothing happens. When it starts to move, it sure moves fast!”
More updates to come later. I am still dazed from the news.
Standing in the Gap
January 7, 2009 at 5:27 pm (Friends & Family Moments)
It’s good to have friends, speaking words in season. When you can’t pray, someone steps in, lifts up your weary body and stands in the gap for you. Thank God for friends like these.
beloved princess, just remember that everytime u engage in a battle… u will win- only because u are in the winning side – Jesus ’s side.. =) whatever ur struggle is… i pray for His strength and grace upon ur life to persevere until u watch Him place ur enemy ( or ur struggles ) under ur feet… and watch the Lord deliver them into ur hands.
Princess, u shall rise above this struggle.. for it shall not have anymore stronghold on u .. for the Lord ur God will be ur only Stronghold.
Lord Jesus, Your word says that You will supply all our needs according to ur glorious riches in Christ… Jesus, I’m asking you to supply and meet all of your precious princess- ellie’s need. Jesus, only u can satisfy her ( her emotional, spiritual, physical, financial needs)… You will also satisfy her ” unmet” needs ( from ppl / things that she has expectation on…. )
Father, i pray in this season, You will show Urself real and tangible to her. and she will see u as her true love… not just a head knowledge but it flows right down to her heart…Let Your presence be a weight in her life that will cause much stability and security… and let this be a start of a brand new season of pursuing u and encountering u on Earth. Just like Enoch, Abraham.. who walk with You on earth.
Thank u Lord for ur faithfulness.. when nothing seem real.. we know You are still real.. and loving. And thank u Lord for hearing our prayers. and i know even right now before we finish praying u have already set ur angels to go before us, and release ur work to accomplish ur will.. and to make Ellie’s crooked path straight.
amen and amen! in the beautiful name of Jesus!hey gal, “this struggles” ( what ever it may represent..) it happens not just to u.. but always remember they happen ” for u”. God promise to give u double for all the trouble that the enemy has caused u. Gal, u will rise above this twise the wisdom, twice the joy, twice the strength and twice the intamacy with God.
i am so beliving this for u!
i can’t wait to see what Jesus has prepared ahead of u.. and how he is making ur crooked places straight.
Thanks Huey Ming for the prayer and encouragement.
Desperation

Lingering effects of destruction…
I am almost at the end of the rope.
For now, I am just hanging on…
…to You.
Come quick…
I am almost slipping…
Blogs with a Soul
January 6, 2009 at 4:46 pm (Short Musings & Quotes)
It’s interesting to see how blogs reveal the soul within a person. It is during those times you feel connected with people in some ways. There are no more difference in class, in wealth or in skills. Underneath it all, we echo the same longing, experience the same ups and downs of life, taste the different emotions. We are after all, human being.
New Plans
January 5, 2009 at 10:46 am (Me Moments)
I was enthusiastically planning all the things I want to do for the new year: Sign up for dance class, meet up with all my friends, serve in another ministry beside campus ministry, in other words: Get busy!
But as I was thinking about the direction of the new year, felt that this is not the season for it. Instead these 3 words were given:
- Come Away
- Focus
- Start Small and Build Deep
Come Away – To spend more time with the Father in listening.
Focus - Focus on the tasks at hand – current ministry and work rather than expanding my energies in new exploits.
Start Small and Build Deep – I think I’m a tad bit too ambitious at times, trying to build BIG when I’m finding difficulty to build small ones. I need to be realistic with my abilities and build from there.
So I’m scrapping my earlier plans for this.
The year past and the year to come

Reflection of the year that has passed.
2008 was a challenging year. It was a season of life whereby all aspects of my life was shaken to the core.
