week of goodbyes!

Last Fri-Sent JC best fren Ailin off at T1. She'll b in UK working with hubby. Guess when we meet again, it will be 3 yrs later. When she bide me goodbye at departure, i told her," You better go fast b4 i cry". It was so tough holding back my tears. Hubby grinned n commented that i am a crybaby..... haha.!!!. Goodbye is so tough....i hate goodbyes....:P Wishing her all the best in her career and family! I'm sure when we meet again, there will be much rejoicing! Goodbye to my dearest fren!

Last Sat-Met up with Campus Crusade EA (EAst ASia) Team as our team staff leader XXX n his wife XXX ( names kept confidential to protect the EA ministry) were back In S'pore to deliver their 3rd kid before going back to the mission field. About 5 yrs back when we were in the mission field with this couple with no kids yet. Those days were so memorable. To eat,sleep,play,sow,plant,harvest, minister, memorise verses in Mandarin and pray together as a team for God's work.It was so tiring, dangerous yet so refreshing. Indeed God has been good to them and they have been very faithful to the Lord's work.To be in the mission field with 3 kids, it's certainly not easy.

In Singapore, people struggle with 1 kid. But for them, they had honored the Lord by serving faithfully on the field even with 2 young kids and the newly born. Certainly put many of us to shame who claims that one kid gives us just too much trouble to serve in our homeland. Thru them, i see their confidence in God who protects their kids in a foreign land and gives them the extra grace in bringing up these kids. Bide them goodbye as i wonder when we will see them again after they return to EA for The Lord's work. Been a joy to see them and the newly born! Their kids are juz so adorable! Good time of fellowship with the EA Team too! Been truly blessed!
