Someday

Someday…perhaps…

SUNshine is thinking about someone…

True rest

SUNshine is dead tired today! Surgeons start work very early so that OT time won’t be delayed (I think!). They are always rushing to finish morning ward rounds so that they can start cutting people up at 8am sharp!

I’m not physically tired but mentally. I think cos I gotta keep learning and putting info into my not-so-big pinky brain!

When I came back from uni today, I was so tired I didn’t know what to do. I tried sleeping, but I couldn’t. I tried playing games, wondered if I should eat but didn’t have the appetite, couldn’t bear reading another word and therefore couldn’t check out my FB, chat on MSN or read emails.

In moments like this, I know my remedy I quickly listened to some praise and worship songs and just be in the Presence of God. Then I read some entries that Pastor Kong put up as daily devotion on his blog everyday. Fooohhhh!! You won’t believe how renewed and strengthened I feel now!

No wonder Jesus called those who are burdened and tired to go to Him and He truly promises to give us rest. And no wonder the Bible tells us that in the Presence of God is rest, peace, joy and those who wait upon the Lord shall have their strength renewed. Amazing how real it is!

And this…is called the anointing!

Fooohhhh!!! Back to my notes! Surgery is frustrating! Haha! I’m more frustrated than nervous about my exams next week! So much to learn, so much to understand and remember and so little time!

Semangat SUNshine! C’mon! Semangat ya!

SUNshine gotta be up real early tomorrow morning. Case presentation with the great surgeon at 7am tomorrow morning! Goodness!

Job

SUNshine just heard one of the most difficult sermons to swallow down/digest/accept! It’s “The Sufferings of Job (Part A)” by Pst Kong. CLICK HERE to listen to it

It’s difficult to accept because it’s the hard truth! He preached on true maturity in Christ. Although God promised many blessings for His children aka us, in reality, we see a lot of suffering, we ourselves go through very bad times. Even people who love God with all their hearts and lay down their lives to serve God go through much suffering. Why do bad things happen to good people, righteous people, holy people?

The truth is this: True maturity is total abandonement to God’s will. When our world falls apart and we lose everything (and I mean EVERYTHING!),  are we still going to love God, bless His name, praise Him and worship Him or are we going to curse Him right at His face?

One man that God Himself called the most righteous man on earth lost everything. His name is Job. And yet, through it all, he could praise God, fall on his knees to worship Him and trust in Him. And he understood that all these trials will make him come forth as gold (Job 23:10).

One thing that I always tell God is: I can lose anything and everything, but I cannot lose Him. Sometimes, I really wonder how I would react when I really lose everything! God forbid that day!

But I realise no matter how much pain I feel, how heartbroken I am, how disappointed I am, how ill I am, how upset I am, I could never bring myself to curse the name of God. I mean..how do you do that?! I may sulk, I may cry, but I made a decision to always, in every season, bring a sacrifice of praise to God and be thankful.

Yet, I think this sermon is difficult to swallow and my highest respect to Job who went through that. I so hope I can shake his hand in heaven one day! Haha….

Resurrecting this blog!

Oh dear! SUNshine has been so busy, this blog seems to be dying! So sorry to my friends who read my blog for updates and random readers too! I’ve repented!

Just a quick update on myself. I’m currently in Surgery posting, exactly mid-point of my posting! Much to study, much to learn! And it doesn’t help when what I see in the wards are different from what I read from books!

I’ve also just returned from Padang, Indonesia for relief work. It was an amazing experience! Glad to have been able to use what God has given me to help others. I would so love to blog all about it and post up loads of pictures, but I don’t have the pics yet! I’ll blog about it, especially on my personal thoughts and experiences real soon. After my surgery exams and when I get the pictures ya

For a report on that trip, do visit www.chc.org.my You can watch the video announcements on the left. Do wait for yours truly to appear and share about the trip. It’s not the first annoucement

Unfortunately, 5 out of 7 of the team from Singapore and KL were ill when we came back. The 3 of us from KL had diarrhoea since last Sunday! I had diarrhoea 20 times in 24 hours exactly 1 week ago! That’s a record! Haha…I vomited once also and was very nauseated. So, with much output and not much input, I was very lethargic. But I’m much better now. Although my tummy still hurts when I try to eat a normal diet and I still get diarrhoea once or twice a day, I’m very much back on my feet. Just that I hope I can eat more than plain porridge, plain bread and plain crackers without abdominal discomfort! I lost 1kg in this 1 week! Good news but I prefer to have my appetite back le. But I was really touched by how everyone in church, especially the leaders kept praying for us and were so concerned. My family was amazing in supporting me too!

Emerge fever is very much ON in church now! For more details, do check out www.emergekl.my

I’ve much thoughts, but very little time to blog about them. More to come real soon ya!

Keep on praying for me ya. I really want to be strong and healthy to be more productive!
