Skiing Day!!

Today was a fun day!! Experiencing skiing for the first time!! Thank God everything went smoothly. We managed to get there and play our hearts out!!

I did realized an ugly truth tho! SELFISHNESS!! I realized how upset I was when I found out that everyone brought lunch but me and all other things that happened. I'm sure I made others miserable too. So how should I change my attitude and think about ONLY the good things? Maybe I should count to 10 before making any statement the next time I'm upset something doesn't go my way and see if by doing that change my attitude and character.

I'm still not thankful enough. Way - long way to go, Alison, BUT I know I'm not alone for it's impossible to do anything alone, but with Christ, all things are possible! Thank You Lord for persevering with me, I want to persevere in becoming more like You too! I love You, Abba Father!

James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

New experiences

Actually went out and played snow for the first time in my life. Wonder what was I thinking the past 7 years? Realized one thing that's really true. Self pity doesn't get me anywhere. With the bad attitude I carry around, it only hurts me and not anybody else. I realized I've missed all the opportunity of sharing the snow experience with Mel. Even though it's sad looking back, I know I can change the future. As long as I change my attitude, I'm sure God will slowly open my eyes and show me all the wonders He has created.

So, the lesson of the day is.. Never waste an opportunity to experience something new. For with a good attitude, we'll be able to find a gift in every small thing. My gift today is to experience snowman building and playing in the snow! I'm sure I'll treasure this season more than ever! For everything from God is good and perfect! All we need to do is to look at it from a different viewpoint and accept it as a gift from God!

I love You more today than yesterday, Abba Father! Thank You for letting me make wonderful memories!

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or precise worthy, think about such things.

Learning Contentment

My last winter in Ukraine. The past 2 days had been -20C. It's so cold I could hardly concentrate on anything I'm doing. Even though it's still -5C, there's so much difference that -5C doesn't seem to be that cold. Isn't it amazing how our mind works? We compare 2 things and we make a conclusion. How about everything else?

Sometimes, I take/make conclusions without looking wt the big picture. Why are all the bad things happening to me? How about all the other worst things happening to everyone else? I look at the bad side and there comes self putty but actually I AM the lucky/blessed one. So how do I breakthrough this wrong mindset? My dearest sisters (Ing Lee and Siow Jin) suggested that I start writing down all the good things and hopefully after a while, I'll learn to look only at the good things and not the bad things and thus start counting my blessings!

So, as for today, my greatest blessing is to be in Ukraine, meeting the Paytons and IBC and the Kings, learning to be a godly person, having a great support group and most important thing is to break from traditional family pattern and start a journey towards godly family!

Thank You Lord for leading me here before I know the purpose and I want to take a bold step ahead in the future even if I do not know where I'll go for You always lead and Your path is to prosper us and not harm us! I love You Lord!

Psalm 119:105
Your Word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.
