Loving People Is Not Easy

we're called to love people fervently, it's definitely not easy. i'm not very sure how the others will grade me according to that, but if i have to grade myself, i guess i'll still think i need a much bigger heart with extreme capacity of patience!

Jia You, Loving people FERVENTLY!!!

I Am A David Because You Are Courageous

my new year eve and new year day seemed to be combined into a single day. probably like what Bernard said, "when you enjoyed the company, time passes really fast."

on the eve, we had our 2009 zone appreciation, didnt expect for our team to win the 60 sec of fame, i guess it's probably God's reward to us even as we faithfully obey Him to carry on with our performance eventhough we had numerous frustrations and miscommunication. Pearly did really well! =)

Darryl, nominated me as for the David award-"Courage Award". the hosts announced that it's the most important or biggest award of the day or something. this wasn't the first time i got such an award and being honoured in public, and i wasn't really excited like i suppose to when i received it. In fact, i'm more touched because Darryl was standing next to me, more excited because Geo ran with me in my 2009 race, felt more loved because Siying loved me so much, felt more proud because Ginger feels proud of me. and not forgetting the rest of my family-w372 and those who really loved me, Carol, Gloria, Jia hui, Daniel, Xianbi, Chin Por. i appreciate the journey more than the reward, and i truely thank God for it.

there are some statements people made to me that really stayed in my mind and my heart.

Geo: "No matter who win the award, we'll still feel as honoured and proud because we're in the same family"

yea, this is the greatest expression of love and i know she really mean it, she's not at all disappointed that her dance group didnt win but feels more proud because WE won!

Geo: "You deserve the David Award!"

i really think that she's the David and not me. i wont be able to be one if she didnt support me and push me.

Siying: "i'm so proud of you"

i always thought no one can melt my heart again with this phrase except for Ming Jin and she did. when she really mean it from her heart, i'm touched. =)

Gloria: "you've proven to us again and again that nothing is impossible!"

i am not, but Darryl is, she really is. wanted to tell Darryl so much that i am a david because she is courageous and her courage is so contagious!

Pearly: "thank you for insisting..."

i should thank brian and her for trusting in my persistance eventhough they really cant bring themselves to agree with it.

John: "thank God you didnt backslide the last time when i scold you, if not we'll lose a gem"

EVERYONE is a gem, we polish it by keep trusting and loving them, just like how MJ, Darryl and Carol trusted and loved me.

thank God for redeeming me. =)
