updating.. :)

Liyi, we won't be going for dragon boat today coz not enough people to go. heh..

We had a good chat with Liling that day. Asked her about her work issue with that colleague and she said it's much better, a change of attitude now, not to let the girl affect her. :) Thank God!
Some very interesting breakthroughs happened I feel:
1) We went to eat sushi and coz we were both very hungry, she started to eat the pink ginger first.. then when the food came and I said I'll say grace, she actually said, "Oops! I eat the ginger already, how ah?" heee.. explained to her of coz..
2) We booked her for service on 10 June! :) All the weekends from now till then she has something on, either helping her mum with renovation work (her house is leaking!) or helping a friend to teach at a tuition centre. So the earliest she can come for service is either 3rd or 10th June. :)
3) We asked her to pray with us. As in SHE PRAY. hee.. I prayed for her for her headache to go away, she prayed for Sharon's extraction of wisdom tooth and Sharon prayed for Shenteng and me (flat hunt and parents' meet up). Liling prayed in Mandarin! and it was a cute session.. hee.. she was quite nervous, saying she dunno how to pray and all, but we assured her that it's her heart that matters, that Jesus already knows.. and in the end she prayed a very earnest prayer. :) Very sweet. And thank God it was encouraging too , that Sha's wisdom tooth extraction went well! Yeah! testimony :)

Continue to pray and share and encourage her k! :) Hope that we can see her receive Christ even before she comes for service on June 10th, we can personally witness to her and see her cross the line! Yeah!

As for Shenteng and my parents’ meet up, our parents were generally ok with each other. But an unexpected thing happened when my parents mentioned about us going overseas after marriage. Shenteng’s dad seemed very surprised that we had such plans and he didn’t know.. (Shenteng did tell his mum previously.. but I guess it was still a shock to his dad) and they were kind of upset and disapproving when Shenteng shared with them more after that. Do pray for us that we can be better testimonies at home and help his parents to understand our plans and be more assured that we will be alright going over..

Glad to know that you are keeping close to God! J May his love continue to fill you so you’ll be always motivated to pray and listen to him! :D

Practice makes perfect. And that works too when it comes to managing our thoughts and expressing them. Don’t be afraid. Take time to pause and think before you explain.. and just learn from our mistakes loh? Your opinions are valuable. :)
For example, can summarize main points and share in terms of that, like firstly, secondly and thirdly…. Or can share your objective first and then explain how you will step by step reach there.
Share with us more what happned next time when perhaps you are clearer how u felt?
Miscommunication often happens..and we can expect them to happen.. hee.. don’t take them too hard. Pray that you will not be discouraged by your senior’s words but focus on the issue, not the hurt. :) Jiayou!!
