From the picture, guess who I was today? No prizes for the correct guesses... (*.*)" Yupz.. I was Ms Grumpy today. I feel so not-nice today. I was SO grumpy until my shepherd has to ask me "Why are you so grumpy today?" Sigh.. I also don't know how to answer.. Perhaps I was utterly tired. Perhaps it's cause I was out the whole day in the hot sun. Perhaps I was running around the past few days. Oh! It could be because of "sleepless" nights. "Sleepless" cause I have dreams almost every night. 2 days back, I dreamt that I was hugging my colleague so tightly and crying. Not sobbing but crying. Not tears of joy but tears of sorrow. When I told her, she was "HUH?" *shrug*
Anyway...
Today over lunch, my colleagues & myself were discussing why we chose to work in Beyond - a secular organization.
I was most taken aback by one of them - Most FSCs in Singapore are Christians based. I wasn't taken back by the reason (since it wasn't the first time hearing it). I was taken aback by her reaction. It was almost as if her wounds are still raw. She is of another faith and I guess most likely, it's because of the difference in faith that she was rejected. (Which of course, I understand why la..)
To keep our focus, I felt that it is very important to be guided by principles. I don't see how someone from another faith will be able to understand the very reason for the organization to have started from the beginning - God's love. Even though the help given may be the same but the foundation is different. Hmm.. Cannot imagine myself in an organization that's of different faith and I have to join in their devotion.
Hmm... I think, I am going to sleep NOW. 9:32pm.

Hi San, R U ok? what happened? :0)
No worries my dear.. but THANKS!! That lasted only a few hours. Nothing to do with work, home, life or God. Just one of those days that is simply unexplainable..
