Eventful 3 years

Since my last post, so many things has happened and changed... and maybe because of all the things that happened, i did not post anything. Yst i was with some friends and we were talking about the list of criteria we look for in a man and hence i came back to my blog hoping to find it, but cannot find. But what i found was far more precious... I found the contemplative side of me who used to love writing.. I found some entries that meant so much to me.. 2018 was a year of exit. It's NEVER easy to leave.. Never easy to move out from a place you are used to, a place you are in more than half your life. Never easy to go to a new group.. as an extreme introvert, its hard to go into a new group and meet new people. If given the choice of my own, i know i would and will end up still remaining in the same place for another half my life. But i guess everything happened for a reason.. God allowed it to happen so that the move is possible At the end of the day, i am reminded that its God's move, not mine and not because anyone did something or failed to do something.. The exit was hard, the silence was defeaning, the cuts were deep.. I still love the people i loved and they will always have a special place in my heart. 2019 was a year of entering.. Thankful for all the people who made it easier for me Taking some time to settle in, finding my footing in the little familiar things There were times i felt uncertain and unsure because of the ways things were done and were taught to me previously But as the year is coming to an end, i felt safe Things works very differently around here "Relationship preceeds ministry" has always been my stand and i think its the same here! This is also the year we shifted to our new place I joined new ministries started painting, resin art, alcohol ink art~ 2020 is like a year that skipped by, things are constantly changing its moving fast, we are like sitting in a boat in the middle of a fast current We need to be aware, we need to be close to God and we need to hold on to one another We grew closer than ever The new found friendships grew.. and i am just thankful to God for this group Thankful for the venture together, thankful for the unity as Christ is always the center among us We started "The Common Good" and "The Space Artistry Pte Ltd" together and then we went into "Resin Art workshop" and "Art Jamming workshops" and i started my carousell business.. I think 2021 is a year of building and developing where we continue to grow and build ourselves up from what we have started Develop and refine the processes... New things are coming~ and of course, tomorrow is the wedding day of Quan Soon and Steffi! We are thankful to be apart of this milestone with them :) And thankful that through them, i also got to know some more lovely people honestly, i was a bit intimated by the whole group of entourage when i first met them for the briefing because most of the people i do not know but i am thankful that they included me in being involved with the "gate crash" thats very challenging with social distancing rule and also the bridesmaid outing to Universal studio It's my first time going Universal studio hahahaha it was fun even though it was not what i expected at all Some of my weaknesses that i got to constantly remind myself to be mindful about is Don't make it about me Don't always talk about me Listen more, talk less!
