more than a month has passed since i left singapore. i'm doing well and fine over here and i'm getting used to everything over here in ohio. I've met people from all over the world and i can tell u that even though we live miles apart, we are still able to relate and identify many similar things with one another.
work is less tiring now coz there are 2 shifts instead of the usual 1. it's good coz we can have more free time to do things that we want. not tt there are many things to do here.. but we can rest more and go to the park to play the rides!! ^^ our paycheck will definitely take a hit but i dun really care abt tt coz earning money is not the main priority of me coming here. i just wan to travel and earn experience:)
i've been to a church here called Calvary Baptist Church.. service is not too diferent jsut tt they sing hyms and they have no offering and communion every week. i miss praise and worship sessions man. oh ya, honestly, i havent been doin my masterlife regularly. ahhh.. there's always things to do and when i have time i'll be so tired tt i doze off while reading it. but i'm trying to do at least a little bit everyday.. heh.. hope i will have the discipline.
anyway i have some photos uploaded at http://carrot29.multiply.com you guys can go take a look. i've been to Niagara falls and it's reallly a beautiful creation of God.
i think i grew fatter oso.. everyday fries and onion rings. haha.

have fun at the chalet~ 38 more days to me being back. i miss tau huay!!!!! >.<

Please pray for:

1. Safety and good health.

2. An expectant and teachable heart.

3. Opportunities to find a pretty Korean wife! (hahaha, just kidding)

I'll be at the airport at 8.30pm this Friday, Terminal 1. It'll be quite an interesting sight I think because there're almost like 200 of us flying off together. That's a massive group size. Just give me a ring if you decide to come and see me off heh.

I'll be away from 29 June - 6 July. Have lots of fun at the chalet and try to bring a friend!!! (",)

Some updates.

Life has been a roller coaster for me in the past weeks.UPss n DOwNsss.. thought of leaving my present company n move on to another job which im not sure on where n wat i wan.this kind of decisions realli burden me down...no motivation to work, each morning will have the thought of taking MC (lolz)...i dislike wat im doing each day. is too routine n is realli no brainer job.my prayer is to get out of this office n be a outdoor sales engineer.toking to customer n providing solutions, is wat i see myself to be. well company oni give opportunity to those who has experience to do outdoor. arghh so when is my turn to be in that role ? 2 more years...i realli getting impatient of waiting w/o any certainty...maybe after 2 years, im still stuck in the same position...this is definetly a prayer in my life that i want to see a break through.

After the june retreat...i got a tok with my 2nd boss (ha ha i got 3 bosses in the office). yeah, he offered me a outdoor sales position...n he ask me whether i wan to take up the challenge..whoo hoo...how can i say no when my prayer is answered...ha haha...actualli he offered me 2 position,1 as outdoor product engineer n the other is outdoor system engineer...i will prefer to be outdoor system engineer but that position is too challenging for me (as for now)..hee hee so i took up the 1st offer...i know things will not be the same...no more 5.30 knocking off...no more slacking ard...no more free time to check personal email...ha ha ha....but im realli excited of wat God has for me ahead...

ok tat's all for now.

in HIS Kingdom,
gAiL

For Pictures, go to my blog! www.notbythehairofmyjoelchinchin.blogspot.com

Otherwise, here are my thoughts for the past two weeks!

First up, June Retreat!
Being my first in 5 years, I was looking forward to the camp alot. However, this year I had to serve as a musician. Looking and thinking back to all the sermons in the camp, I have this thought of "I'm already serving, I doubt there's anymore I should or could do. During the first few sessions I felt that it wasn't really applicable to myself. Nevertheless as the camp went on, I was comforted to know that there are great men of God who, despite their weaknesses, could still serve God faithfully.
I can't exactly recalled when Saturday service started back in 53 Chancery, but ever since then, I've almost served week in week out. lol. Lately I've been going around church asking people to start learning guitar. Is it because I want a full team everytime on stage? Or is it because I need a replacement so I can rest more in between? Maybe both? More importantly, It is God who gives us rest (Matt 11:28), hope I will continue to serve God faithfully!

Mission Trip!
It's been a very interesting trip. Most of us were expecting a very tough 3 days ahead of us. Don't get me wrong, it didn't turn out a walk in the park. It was still tough, but the villagers made our lives alot easier. Got pretty badly burnt, but I guess it's a small price to pay if the shed comes out okay. It's been awhile since I lived like that, brings back memories of army life. I think many of the boys are pretty havoc. It certainly made a tough trip more enjoyable. I would love to see the completed shed! In a photo! haha, don't know if we'll ever be back again.
Also, many perhaps do not appreciate the work done there. After hearing Aunt Veronica during our debrief, I think we all realised how much work is being done in the village. Even if we do not go there physically, let us support the people who are in the mission field! All hands to harvest ya?

Okay. That's all Folks! Hope you enjoyed my ranting. :)

What can I do with my worry?

God reminded me of something important during reservist, so here I am sharing more about it with all of you =)

It was through a booklet titled 'What can I do with my worry?'. This Discovery Series booklet by RBC (the organisation that brings you Daily Bread) had been lying around at home for some time until I decided to bring it to reservist. Honestly, I didn't think that I needed to read it because I felt that I had my 'worry' well-controlled. This feeling was perhaps reinforced by the observation that sermons in church on the topic of 'worry' aren't exactly very rare. Well, as it turned out, I believe that God used this book to help me realise that I was wrong and what I could do to become happier.

One of the more noteworthy reminders for me was that there is good worry, as well as bad worry. We want the former, and not the latter. No worry at all is not a good thing because such a person would likely be care-less. This often translates to a poor work attitude and consequently poor results.

I found a pdf version of this book online (33 pages) and I would really recommend that you read it, whether or not you think/feel you need to. To download:

May you have only good worry and be happier! (",)

***Special thanks to RBC for being such a wonderful blessing to so many of us all these years***
