January 2008 has been one of its kind... very tiring, for one.

But very fulfilling.

:)

The busyness of work has caused much strain initially, in the area of rest, relaxation and relationships... but thank God, things are settling down somehow.

My greatest joy thus far... is to have the privilege of witnessing the growth of those whom I've gotten to know for some time, both in ministry and at work.

When I first got to know this boy two years ago, he and the rest didn't really leave a good first impression - rowdy, didn't pay attention in class... now I'm sort of linked to him again. And I got to hear him speak just a couple of days ago and witness his stable poise and articulation.

And then the boy who blatantly kicked soccer ball in my lesson two years ago turned out to be the one who graciously volunteered to help chair a dialogue session.

Then there's this brother who just stepped up to become a leader... and the other taking the position of group leader.

There's so much to thank Pa for. :)

To the point that the weariness and tiredness really grew so insignificant.

Jesus' blood covers multitude of sins.

A thankful heart covers a whole lot of weariness.

Thankful also for the many more whom I've just gotten to know... and I count it a privilege and joy to be able to leave a mark in each of their lives, however insignificant.

Okay, dinner time! :)
