Merry Christmas 2007...

Merry Christmas guys!!!

And yeah, still writing… still writing…

I am hoping I could at least complete “the” post before I leave Australia, and that would mean before the New Year arrives. Get ready for a long post then --- that’s if I finally manage to write it and not drag till the end of January.

Ah, hoping I was back in Malaysia so I could attend our church Christmas service; to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere together as members of one body and not to forget ---most importantly --- to take this time to thank God for sending us His son, thus bringing us salvation. With our flight back to Melbourne on Christmas day in addition with me and my brothers’ bad habit of waking up after 12, plus another hilarious reason which I would reveal later when I finish writing December’s post… I guess I wouldn’t be able to attend one here. Arghh…

Looking forward to Boxing Day for shopping sales!

Once again, Merry Christmas and God bless!

2nd Anniversary...

Oh my…

Just writing to let everyone who reads my journal knows that I am still in the process of writing the November post (which has now dragged on to December --- sorry for that), and not to worry. Ah, and there I was thinking that I would at least make it a once a month affair at the least.

Well, besides the information just given, the reason I “need” to write this post is due to the reason that this is my…

2nd Anniversary!!!...

…of getting admitted to the hospital and going for chemotherapy treatment~ (belated anyway)

I must admit that I kind of actually forgotten about the date where I got admitted till I reread my previous post… was thinking that it was today, and realized that it was on the 21st instead. Wake up Ju Liang!!! Now I am so embarrassed.

Hmm… well, just want to thank God that all has been going well with me, that through His grace I am able to enjoy much of my time after treatment, including this holiday that I am having in Australia while writing this. And doubly true with the fact that the pills isn’t all that hard to take right now, and I am getting used to them through His grace (the weekly pills still packs a punch, but it has been much much better compared to last time where I can’t really do anything after eating them).

Still I must admit that in all the enjoyment (and busyness…), there are times where I kind of “forgot” about how gracious God has been to me and take it all for granted, even though it has just been less than half a year. When I am enjoying and not suffering I tend to take God’s love for me throughout the process for granted, and only during the stillness of the night do I think back about this and know how blessed I have been. Yeah, I know that I have written about this previously, but I can’t stop feeling guilty somehow… The other thing that bugs me is the fact that I am not using my testimony to spread the good news of Christ more than I should and I am feeling rather guilty about this too. Especially since once I was there complaining that there isn’t much interesting things happening in my life that I can share of.

To become like Christ is an on-going process, which is why I need to remind myself to keep striving forward towards the goal in Christ and not fall back, constantly reminding myself that whether in good times of bad, I need to fight the good fight, not losing sight of the goal. Especially since I have experience how great God has been in my life.

Woahkay…

Nothing to regret right now but to focus on the future! And hope that I continue to grow more in Christ, and not just by writing in words but actually doing it.

Thank God for the great time holidaying here in Aussie! Rest assured I will write about it… after the November post that is.
