Finally yours truly is back blogging, after a 2 week hiatus! And am I glad to be back to testify of Daddy's goodness and faithfulness in my life. =) Truly, He works in the sweetest ways to make me smile. =D
Firstly, I'm now a proud owner of a Qualified Driving License! The word PASSED has never felt so gratifying...and expensive! All you who have taken or are taking your lessons will know why haha! Praise the Lord!!!
Secondly, on 15th Feb 09, we officially became part of Pst's and the church's vision and direction this year. Yes, thanks for all the finally-s and the blessings, really appreciate all the love! =D

It's so sweet to think of all the times we spent together having fun as touchrug-mates, students, labmates, Labrador Park-mates, best buddies etc...and now, she's all ready to be a bride and wifey of a pilot! I'm really so happy for you...=)
In ending, today God showed me the sweetest thing: a rainbow in the sky. Immediately one of my fave songs that goes "a rainbow in the sky shows that God's promises are true..." came to mind. I think more than just making me smile, it made many others happy too. And I thought about the subtle yet powerful ways that God speaks to his children. A rainbow. A sign of promises. A sign of hope, of assurance, of joy. Something so simple, yet so majestic. And that's how God captures our attention. Sometimes we see blessings as the bigbigbig things, but very often, all we need to do is to stop, look around, and love life and what God has in store for us.
So simple, yet enough for me to look stupid as I whipped out my camera and pointed it to the sky and shot, shot, shot. And it was interesting how I didn't care if I looked weird doing that standing alone, all that mattered was the magnificence that struck a chord in me.

Isn't that the same when we step out in boldness to share the gospel, to pray for the sick, to do the seemingly-impossible? It just doesn't matter how we may look anymore: the fire has consumed us beyond hope, the excitment has overshadowed any trace of fear or embarrassment.
On a sidenote, life seems strangely so much more fruitful these days. I know that I was in a sense feeling pretty down about the 'free-ness' some time back, but this break has truly allowed me to slow down and think about what truly matters to me, the purpose of things, the reason for my existence; even as I am not tied down and caught up in the pace of life in a 9-to-5 job.
There's truly so much more to life!
I know God is about to reveal more to me, as I continue to trust and walk in His ways. Thanks so much Daddy, I'm excited for the ride ahead. =)
Official.
That word sure generates alot of speculation. ;)
"Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential. " ~Barack Obama
Poverty of ambition...oh my, what a strong in-the-face phrase. I certainly don't want to walk through all of life filled with that!
I need to hook myself up with something bigger than myself, bigger than what I think or see myself as.
I need to see through God-tinted spectacles, I need to see what God has written my life to be.
I need to know what Zoe really needs and not what she think she needs.
I need to live the Zoe life.
Have been thinking about the word "usefulness" the past few days...
Define USEFUL: being of use or service; serving some purpose; advantageous, helpful, or of good effect. Of practical use, as for doing work; producing material results; supplying common needs.
I want to be useful. I want to serve a purpose, be of practical use, produce results and be fruitful.
It's official!
Remember those times in Secondary School when we were given a picture in B&W during our Chinese Oral exams and we had to use our best efforts and tried to impress the examiner with our sudden eloquence in our Mother Tongue?
Here goes...let me just 'speak' through this pic, tastefully taken by Diana at Janet's 21st Bday Party @ SAF Yacht Club.很多时候，我们或许在人生的路程上，走着走着，也会感到疲乏。身为在时间尖端生活的modern年轻人，正在寻找的大多数也许是一番能出人头地，对自己十分有满足感的事业，一心盼望着的是能望前望上走，就象照片中。但，你为何有没有问过自己，你在奔向前的过程中，自己生命是否过得开心，充足呢？步伐可能快，但走得有意思吗？
这几天也花了不少时间精力想自己真正寻找的是what？看着周围的朋友忙着，自己却＇闲＇着，心情也越变越烦躁; 越想找个答案，答案似乎越想躲避我的手掌心。
有时我真想呐喊：该如何是好？嗨，但我始终选择相信他以为我扑好前方的路，那路也一定是光明灿烂的。我选择相信。Amen。
