Spending my first CNY overseas is not easy..
the eve of CNY began and ended like any ohter day. I guess the saddest part was when my mum asked :" What are you doing for reunion dinner tonight?"
At an instant, my thoughts were flooded with yummy food!, Angpaos! and most of all the family togetherness. Made my eyes water man...
Perhaps some may think, "aiya what so sad about not spending CNY at home?"
To most it may be visiting "once a year" relatives, sitting around watching tv. BUt its different when you have a close knitted family,bonded by a common love for God! We have no much fun just Lo Hei-ing, telling jokes, playing silly games, taking pictures and just enjoying one another's company.
Just as i was about to wallow in self pity and think about the FOOD that i'm gonna miss, the Lord reminded me about the reason why i stayed here. My theme this year is about Faithfulness and obedience. Obedience to his voice, faitfulness in what he called me to do!
However, Thank God for friends that he brought around me, to comfort as well as to write off CNY as not such a big deal haha..(you know who you are..!!).
Its not that i'm having a hard life or anything, currently enjoying the joblessness (Disclaimer: but dosen't mean i don't want one and not looking for it.lol!).
As the chinese saying goes..To rest is to prepare to walk a longer journey! (Excuses..)
Praise God that we can rest in him even when we're ON the journey.
Our Refuge, Our Hope :)
