OVERCOMING OBSTACLES by: Henry Ford

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. "

Pulled by Reality

Lhen came back from her 1-month Singapore trip. She had lots of adventures to tell us. Her time being with her partner is over, she's now being pulled by reality. She also said 'twas so hard to find job in Singapore. (sigh) I didn't know Singapore was affected by the recession.

I wonder how will Hone and I turn out when he's already overseas... Can we manage to be separated when we've learned to depend on each other?

I don't know.

Bondage

The topic for our Cell group (Single women's group) is that if we are still bonded into certain things in life. Bondage is something like being in prison without seeing bars. It's like wanting to get out of a maze but you can't. Janet said, "We should free ourselves and just leave everything to God." So the question was posted, "Are you free from bondage?"

Ouch! I am not. Though, I have given God the pains in my heart, I feel that I am still inside the invisible bars of prison, boxed with hatred for particular people who have stabbed me and who I have killed in my mind. Of course I want to get out of this feeling but it takes a zillion courage to really forgive and forget. Wounds heal but it leaves marks. I don't know the way out of the maze 'coz I'm unable to see the top view of it. I'm inside the maze.

I don't know when I can get out of it and when I can really forgive those who have done me wrong. Maybe oneday, maybe someday. At the moment, I just leave it to the hands of God.

We have no right

"We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, 'Why did this happen to me?' unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way."

Being Happy

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."

Man's error

"A man's errors are his portals of discovery."
