Labour's Day

I wanted to commemorate my first Labour's Day in my entire life by being un-laborous i.e. rest. I needed it so badly and I am glad that I have it.

It has been a year. A year of leaving university. The first day I stepped into working life (although as an intern) was 3rd May. Much has changed in this one year. And I am still transiting and adapting to my life as a young working adult. To be very honest, I struggle a lot. I know I am not the same Beatrice a year ago but do I like the Beat now? I haven't decided that part yet. But that is the cruel truth about life and growing up. It is painful but necessary. Growing up also mean change. Values, friends, priorities, belief system etc.. And to some extent, I do not like the change I am experiencing right now. But, then again, without change, without growing up, I will be akin to stagnant water. In science, stagnant river will cause eutrophication and it is toxic to the whole river body. Resistance to change is toxic to my life. I just have to accept this hard truth.

I have made a choice. I will grow up and go through this transition happily! His grace is sufficient for me. I am thankful that Jo came to my house to talk to me. I just realised after talking to her how negative and realistic I have become especially this few months. Wow. I shall reject that spirit! And God loves me so much to send Melia to call me to encourage me too =) Really a divine appointment.

One thing I know for sure now, I am not going through this alone. Others are too. So yeah, beat just buck up and go through this season well, with God. He said I am more than a conqueror! So, why am I acting like a defeated and wounded soldier? Put on the armour and fight! When I was a baby, I drank milk but when I was a child, I have moved on to solid food and discovered the beauty of solid food. Now that I am older, I started trying hot spicy food and enjoyed every single bit of it. So now is my season of learning to eat spicy food. Once I overcome this, I know I will love and enjoy every taste of it! Just need to persevere. 

Chances come for those who are ready.

When you are alone, it is then you lean to God and grow up with God. Solid relationship and total reliance. Maybe this is the season for me - without friends or outside influence. Just me and Him, noone else.

What are you imagining now?

Hello, it's me Sitting in a newly organized room with a eucalyptus aroma saturating the room gives me a kind of serenity in the midst of this chaotic world. I haven't been writing for ages and I thought perhaps I could start again since writing (or blogging) does organize my thoughts. I am also surprised that I could still log in to my dusty blog and the fact that it still sort-of exists. I read a book on "The New Species" by Greg Violi and this gave me a new perspective on my identity and my struggle with the old vs new self. Did you know that our imaginations and thoughts are very powerful - making or breaking us, spurring us towards God or against God, a catalyst of our emotions and feelings? The best way to describe God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit can be this. A thought birthed in God, our Father, and it is spoken by the Word himself, Jesus, and the Spirit executes it. In creating the world, all these thoughts and imaginations of how it will turn out to...

My first in 2014

Two years have passed since my last blog entry. How fast time flies. I decided to change the blog layout just to give a gist of freshness to it. Many things have changed since 2012 - most of all, myself. I guess two years of working (or slightly more) opened up my worldview and definitely altered some perspective of life. Most of all, God has done so many things in my life! In life, nothing is constant but His faithfulness remains through it all. I am excited to see what lies ahead of me - His Glory and Kingdom. (Pardon my vague updates, I am still trying to figure out how to privatize my blog so that I could only allow personal access to this. Till then, see you next round soon, hopefully)
