You Are Stronger

As Good Friday draws closer, can't help but reflect on the meaning of death and how much Jesus means to me. It seems that lots of things around are just reminding me of how a simple death is much more complicated than one can ever imagine.

The play that PLMGSS's drama club put up was centered around the themes of death and dealing with it, themes that are so deep yet meaningful. Death can be internal, not only external. Death is sometimes not a choice, so to live should mean a lot to you. And lastly, death can be a form of release and freedom. Those were the overarching themes that were shown during the play. Well all these are true for us humans, but when Jesus died on the cross... Its just a whole lot more meaningful than that don't you think?

Regina's dad's wake reminded me of something else. How the passing of someone close can hurt so much, because we have loved him/her deeply... And as we remember Jesus's death, do we feel the same way? I hope we do, and even more than that. I can say I do. As I was preparing for YE worship on saturday tears couldn't help but well up in my eyes. I was mourning inside. But as I continued preparing I was reminded of Christ's victory, and oh how much I give thanks for that. Mourning turned to praise, and a deeper welling up of love within my heart that I want to share with others.

After these many years of commemorating Good Friday and Easter, I've never seen the events of this period of time with so much clarity before. And its thanks to everything that has been happening over this week. Well, everything happens for a reason, for God's glory.

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time!

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
