A New Season, a new makeover

3rd January 2007,

5.45pm, Happy New Year!!!! Yeah..It's 2007! My blog will continues with much better sharings, a more positive perspective. Today is 1st day of work in 2007, and praise God..Pharmacy Reno has completed with wonderful final outcome. Compared to previous front-counter with thick glass and barriers separating staff and patients, now the new setup totally the other way round. "Open Counter" concept, with flourecent lighting, and multicolour fabric backdrop, clean white marble as table-top..wow, it's just awesome! It looks pretty cool, very high class, friendly and esthetic!

That's the new beginning for the Pharmacy. I hope the staff will appreciate the change and the comfort, thus able to perform better, improving our service. A start of New Year, and praying for a better year ahead. So, now Pharmacy Reno has finished, left with another project- CDR Reno, and preparing staff for CDR. Pretty interesting, yes..I love the job I'm doing, excluding the 'company politics and system setbacks'. I'm happy today, and hopefully I'll be happy and excited for more in days ahead- life in GMC. Unless the Lord moves me somewhere, I doubt I'll be relocating. But everything is just uncertain, only entrust the days ahead to Lord's hands, trusting He has every good plans for us.

Spent the holidays in Ipoh last week. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Or maybe 3 birds :PP 1.) Manage to visit Cindy and her mum at Kuala Kangsar. Her house full of Ikea's furniture, very nice and neat. According to Cindy, her brother is the one who decorated the house. She's trying to introduce her brother to me :P We had dinner there and spending time with Cindy's mum.
2.) Staying with Andrew and visiting Gavin. Also get to know little babies (Benjamin and Jason), spending time with Andrew's parents, and Gavin. It's indeed sweet experience. Will not elaborate much here.
3.) Have a rested holidays. This year was the ever 1st year spending countdown with frens (usually every year we have WatchNite Service in church, but this year exceptional)

New Year Resolutions. For the past 2 years I did not write any resolution, getting some phobia making resolution which ended up with not so good endings. But this year the list not gonna be long, only a few, very few items that I've offered to the Lord. Man can plan but ultimately it's the Lord that who wills it. May my plans and heart desire be in in His perfect plan. Trusting that every good and perfect gifts is from above. Only He wills..Not my will be done, but Your will be done, Your ever perfect will, Your best.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3: 5-6

I am blessed with the sermon I heard during my visit in Ipoh. I attended First Assembly of God, Jalan Kampar (Andrew's Mum's Church) which was in Cantonese. Believe it or not, yeah..I attend Cantonese Service and am so blessed with the sharings. Even though I can't understand every word, but I able to grasp the main message. It's about living with "Heart of Dependancy". Pastor Joyce described Scripture Verse taken from Jeremiah 17 and James 4

Jeremiah 17:5-8

5 This is what the LORD says:

"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,

who depends on flesh for his strength

and whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands;

he will not see prosperity when it comes.

He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,

in a salt land where no one lives.
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,

whose confidence is in him.
8 He will be like a tree planted by the water

that sends out its roots by the stream.

It does not fear when heat comes;

its leaves are always green.

It has no worries in a year of drought

and never fails to bear fruit."

James 4:13-16

13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. Living with the heart of dependecy..Who can we trust but the Lord? Where does our hope and helps come from but the Father of Life, the Creator of all things? Where else can we go, for You Lord holds the Word of Life.

Oh Lord, thank You! Thank You Daddy for guiding me thru the Year 2006. Thank You for your invisible hands, guiding me thru' the year victoriously. Oh Lord, how foolish are we who refuse to follow you. Oh Lord, forgive our iniquities and flesh of running to the things of the world which is just temporary, just meaningless. Strengthen my faith Lord, to follow You, to depends on You in every circumstances. Stregthen my heart, if anytime I feel I can't do it- help me to see the light, that You can do it thru' me. I trust You for the 2007 ahead, believing that every breath I breathe is for a reason, for a purpose, and nothing is hidden from You sight. Your promise is always Yes, and Amen! It's always for our good! All things Lord, all things work for good for those who loves You..All things, every smile, every sadness, every hurts, every disappointment, every gladness, every opportunities, all things- it's Yours Lord, please use it for Your Glory. Help me to depend on You alone, not my flesh..not what I can do, what You can do thru' me. Gonna trust You Daddy!
