I'll be going for my long awaited holiday, like finally, to Samui later. So as I pray for the sun to shine ever so brightly and the sea to sparkle in all its glittering beauty, I have to leave some unsettled matters behind first. I mean, as much as I hope to leave with no unfinished business, with a good mind not cluttered by disruptors of peace, I have to say that I've fashionably failed.

I'll continue to hand them over to the Lord and depend on His lead everyday in my prayers...
Right at the top and one of the little annoying rascals that has a shot in disrupting my attempt at unadulterated enjoyment, is my planned visit to BJ. I've not only upset and angered my friend in BJ by my misguidings, which i'm terribly sorry about, I'll forever be suffering in my own guilt, and pay the heavy price of my failed plans. Now the whole trip is hanging delicately in balance and I'm desperately trying to save it from collapsing. Its so dramatic on the domestic front that I can't believe its happening. U know, like how AIG and those big financial blocks in US operate in their last days, when there's nothing they themselves can do to help themselves, they hope for a saviour. If not, its doomed. I'm praying that the manner that I go about resolving these things, seeking forgiveness from my friend, explaining to people (e.g my parents who are v unhappy) may be godly. I may not be mired in my guilt but be open to reproof and seek their understanding.

Ok I've got other matters still but I don't want to bring it all up now.. I pray that I'll continue to grow in spiritual wisdom and knowledge, to discern what is best for me.

Please pray continually for the mission trip team in Thailand. Pray that through the things that they present, the villagers might come to know the Lord who cares for them, who knows them each by name, even though they might feel that no one else understands and acknowledge them. May God touch their hearts to turn to Him, their creator.
