Thank You....Darlings

A special thanks to my wonderful wife, Jessie and my adorable baby girl, Sophia Christabel for journeying together with me all this while especially during my studies in STM. This post is to pay a special tribute for the two most wonderful people in my life.

Thank you darlings for:-

• Your love and compassion towards me
• Your patients with me
• Giving me a shoulder to lean on when I was cracking under pressure
• Being my stronghold in times of crisis
• Being there for me when my good friends betrayed me. When I was suffering of the pain of being betrayed, you both brought light into my life.
• Being there when I was sick.
• Comforting me when I have to deal with unreasonable and inconsiderate people who have come along my way in this last 3 years of studies in STM.
• Encouraging me when criticism and accusations were thrown on me.
• Crying with me when I am hurt beyond consolation because of some people who I think are my good friends, but turns out to be culprits who misrepresent me and tarnishes my name for some unknown reasons.
• Teaching me the true meaning of Love and Family.
  

I am truly blessed to have Jessie and Sophia in my life. I thank God for them and I am looking forward for many more years of joy and gladness in serving God as a family.

His Grace….and Grace alone.

When I look back on my faith journey thus far, I realized that it was all by His grace and grace alone. Praise God that I have graduated with my M.Div from Seminari Theoloji Malaysia. My journey in STM has never been an easygoing one. Even until the very last week of the semester, I had hills and valleys on which I had to travel. My journey was filled with stressful situations, bitter contentions, good and bad friendships and the list can go on and on. Nevertheless, in spite of all that I went through in the last 3 years, I realized that God has actually molded me to become a better person for His glory. I learned it all at the Master’s feet though the lessons were hard and painful at times. I want to thank God for allowing me to go through what I went through at this phase in my life and ministry.
I also don’t deny the many wonderful experiences and friendships that I had in STM. Through them all God taught me many things, things that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Now as I end my journey in STM, I realized that all this while, His grace and grace alone have sustained me thus far.

Thank you Lord.
