Tent of Meeting POSTED AT 12:29 PM
Exodus 33:14 (NIV) Moses was burdened by the cares of leading 2million people...his training did not prepare him for that...he was leading sheep in the far side of the desert...no wonder he had butterflies in his stomach and could not bear the weight of leading such a group of people....but he did what was right...he brought his burdens to God.. Israelites were free from Egypt and were travelling in the desert...everytime they stop and camped, Moses would erect a tent for God in which if anyone would want to meet God, they could...it was there that God would descend in a cloud to meet his people... Moses would go to the tent to seek God..and when he did, people will watch until they saw God descend ina cloud...then they will begin to worship God. Lesson: When we connect with God, it will cause the people around us to worship HIm... In one fo the Moses & God face to face conversations, God promised HIs presence...and his rest...Moses only asked for God's presence...but God gave him more than he asked for...Lesson: God always gives us the better end of the bargain...he gives us more than we ask. The place God and Moses met, a tent of meeting...a place designated for that purpose...it was a place intentionally set aside-outside the camp..lesson: we need to set time aside from our God given schedule and meet with HIm...it is tehre at our face to face meeting that God will speak his promises and reminders of his presence and provision to us.

Yo-ho November! POSTED AT 11:21 PM Just like every other year, I would get all excited about the coming Christmas season. The most wonderful time of the year is gonna be here!
Someone said I should update my blog. Haha. Yes. Entries are becoming uncommon these days. The fact is, I don't have much to blog about. So, don't need to blog-loh.
My cousin's Fictionpress/novel/stories/whatever-you-call-it. Yes, Anna, I've been reading because you're good! Keep it up! I might just have a famous cousin renowned for her novels and stories. Heh heh. Click the word Fictionpress to read them! |

POSTED AT 05:51 PM Work's been pretty crazy, more and more work gets piled on as the days go past this week. To think that I even had half a mind to apply for leave, just to have a break. Guess that won't be happening anytime soon. Maybe after the review paper is written. But having said that, I thoroughly enjoy work. Even though the coupling reaction that I recently carried out gave me the opposite anomer to the one that I want, I somehow find myself enjoying it. Heck.. it means I have to go back and make more starting material, and try the coupling reaction a few more times, but oh well. The work environment that I am in makes a whole lot of difference. Lab mates who are optimistic (way more optimistic than I am) and smart, and supervisors who are passionate about chemistry makes what I do more a challenge than a dread. I can tell when my supervisor is excited about what I do, because he would come running into the lab, looking for me, asking me how my reaction went, whether the building blocks coupled, and whether I made the alpha or the beta product! And then I can tell he's REALLY excited when I go in for my individual meeting to present them with NMR data which I just got in the morning, only to find that M was so impatient to find out the results, he had already logged in and checked for my results! Alright, enough about geeky work. Everything's going pretty fine here. Coping with the breakup is quite a challenge, and it came with more frustrations than I expected- some were with Dan, but most of them were internal issues that I have to wrestle with. I have come to realise that no one will really understand, and it is a journey that I have to go through on my own. I find myself clinging on to God's words and his plans for my life. I have no clue what it is...but it better be worth all the pain. Not to say that clinging on to God's words have been easy. Firstly, it's not very tangible. And secondly, my human brain is still struggling to understand what greater good God wants to bring out of this. But in the mean time, I will just have to go with the flow of life, embracing every aspect of it and being thankful for all the good things that I have. |

A nice, quiet Friday evening. POSTED AT 12:09 AM Nothing beats resting on your bed, in the comfort of your own room, with the laptop on your lap (or tummy - depending on how you lie down. Haha), and knowing it's a Saturday tomorrow. Ahhh.. the chance to sleep in. Now, that's a nice thought.
Quotes, the good ones, are great and inspiring. Here's one: Stand firmly in the place where your dear Lord has put you, and do your best there.... The strongest and greatest character is grown through hardship.
Two more months to 2010. My my, where did the time go?
