Thank You Jesus! :D Thanksgiving!

And oh yes, Lord... now that my depression's over, and the courage's set in...

Thank You so much for Shuyi's "countless thanksgiving" blog entry - it really spoke to me and reminded me to be joyful always, and give thanks in all circumstances... not to let my joy in Christ be swayed by what other people think of me, but You alone... Her example has inspired me to also give thanks to God in this entry!

Thank You so much for KW, the lunch-time with him today, and what he shared with me - it really really spoke to me a lot too - realised that You may be speaking to me through this brother... esp what he said, "You are not equal to the sum of your past. Rather, your past is part of who you are." Wow, simple but profound. And his own heartfelt sharing about how You have been transforming his life and mindset and perspective... he's really so much more joyful ever since last year... wow, praise Jesus indeed!!! He is so wonderful!!! Hallelujah!!! And thank You that he would share his life with me... like what Weizhu told me last time, "it's a privilege when someone chooses to share his life with you..." And also for the gentle correction that KW gave me over lunch... wow... so loved that he would correct me...

And thank You so much for my dear CG... especially for Hongtao, Bowen and Joyce... they really blessed my day today. I feel so unworthy when I compare myself with them - their hearts and their lives, I have so much to learn from them. But thank You Jesus for putting them into my life, that I may learn from them!!! :D It is a great joy and privilege to learn from their lives...

And thank You so much for the sweet supper that we had today after the Festival of Praise... haha... though I was quite tired and self-absorbed actually, I still can thank You for Your goodness even though I've been bad in my attitude... You are always so good, God! :D

And thank You so much for Bowen - for his accompanying me to walk down for the altar call to respond to the call to be mighty warriors for God... and for how You spoke to both our hearts - we were both burdened before the FOP, and we both wanted to respond to the same altar call... and also for his lunch invitation today... sorry Bo, I choped KW first so cannot liao... :P

And thank You so much for the little things too...

Thank You so much that I fixed the hardware problem that I was helping Dr Ng with... in the space of an hour! Wow... thank You for giving me a clear insight into the workings of the problem...

And thank You so much for the orientation today too... that I got to make new friends... though I was disappointed that almost all the freshmen for my OG didn't come, I'm glad that I can get to know my junior OGLs and group IC better too... it was great talking with them! Really enjoyed the time getting to know them better... think it's a breakthrough especially for an introvert like me. :D

Thank You so much that I could spend some time with Huanyan just before the start of FOP... missed this bro's presence for quite a while already... and also for his friend too - am encouraged and delighted to get to know a new brother in Christ too!

Thank You so much for Don Moen... wah, so blessed really... can see that he's very humble and has a sweet spirit to God even though he's one of the most famous worship leaders of this generation... and his voice is fantastic too... haha...

Thank You so much for helping me wake up in the morning... the beautiful sunshine...

Thank You so much for Your love that knows no bound...

Thank You so much for this computer...

Thank You so much for giving me friends and family...

Thank You so much, Jesus!

Thank You so much, Lord... I really want to have a sweet spirit before You always... because I know that will please You no end...

Thank You so much Lord, by faith, for the direction that You are carrying me through...


and OH YES! HOW CAN I FORGET?

THANK YOU FOR HEALING MY EARS! Haha... Aiyah... i really am like those 9 'bodoh' ex-lepers who, upon being healed by Jesus, didn't go back and thank Him... Wah lau... thank You for being so incredibly patient with me... in spite of the fact that I am SO SLOW...

THANK YOU... thank You Lord for lowering the threshold of my hearing from 110dB to 90dB... somehow it's sweet, being able to sense that the music is too loud... to be able to sense the pain in my ears before it can do too much damage to my ears...

I don't know why my hearing isn't fully healed yet, but You chose to remove the earwax blockage in such a miraculous way that the doctor would be so amazed... and the hearing-aid specialist amazed at how come my threshold of hearing has dropped...

Wow... when I think of all these things... how can I not thank You? Thank You that I have enough money - so blessed from my lab duty - to bless others... thank You that I can help others...

Were I to write more... I'll have to say thank You Lord till the sun rises...

And oh, thank You, Lord, for Don Moen's "Thank You Lord" song... haha... =D
