I have been having a lot of different thoughts the past few weeks. Each time when i'm inspired to write something, i put it on hold till I have enough creative juices. And while waiting, other thoughts comes up and another thought comes up and another..... so yea, i shall now attempt to write some stuffs that i have experienced or observed, some stuffs that are close to my heart and some stuffs that brings joy to my heart. I shall number my thoughts, as inspired by an ex-pm blog.... =P
1. I never knew baby pink and baby blue could go together so well. Having been driving to work in the early mornings, my colleague and i would admire the breaking of dawn and sometimes there are breathtaking sights. I once saw amazing colours of orangey, pink, purple, yellow, white, gold, blue, grey..... it was a sight to behold, me describing it will not do justice to what i saw. Anyway, i was just amazed at how God brought colours together in nature. I mean, who would have thought matching baby pink to baby blue colour? Well, maybe in the kids' room...... and that's also coz it was stereotyped to be baby's colours. Anyway, i just want to say, baby pink and baby blue is beautiful in nature. Try catching the dawn, maybe you'll understand what i mean then.
2. She is walking! I was so amazed when i saw her getting up by herself and taking the steady steps forward. I stared in amazement, couldn't believe what i had saw. I mean I knew the day would come when she'd start walking and running around but I never thought I'll be there long enough to witness it.
She's been coming to us for about 1 ½ years now. At that time she was not even crawling; she was on her tummy, moving her hands and feet at awkward position to move forward. Hmm.... something like swimming one-sided butterfly stroke on floor? The teachers worked hard with her, teaching her to use her limbs properly. She even had to learn how to fall correctly so that she won't fall smack down on her face.
Anyway, i want to proudly announce, this girl is finally walking today!!! =D AHHH, the joy it brings to the heart!!! I'm so proud of her, her mommy and the teachers who never gave up on her. Bravo to all!!! She turns 5 years old this year, soon she'll be running, jumping and skipping!
3. I had an opportunity to witness an outreach work among the urban poor children yesterday. This community centre was set-up and have been running for a year; and children from the flats and kampung area would come to the centre to play. These are the migrant worker's children, the poor and marginalized; the indians, malay or indonesian kids. I was just amazed at how these kids would come by themselves, like ants to sugar...... It is truly an amazing ministry and I'm inspired by it.
I can see so much potential in sowing into these young lives. I can imagine a majority of them are probably passed off as insignificant in school, nobody really give them hope and they may just fall into vicious cycle of poverty. I am glad that my God knows every single of His children, none of them are ever insignificant in His sight.
What i saw yesterday, were children who really wants to be there. I really don't know their background or what kind of family or home they are in.... not sure if they are even going to schools. I can see the community centre being the beacon light, shinning so brightly in the darkened world, giving light and hope to the community around it. The potential is so vast, i can just imagine the number of children whose life will be changed by it. Its amazing!
It so makes me wanna jump into it and be involved in that ministry, but wisdom (and other nagging responsibilities at hand) tells me to pray and seek God. I'm not even sure of what to pray, maybe for a key person to rise up from that church to lead that ministry and their church members volunteering their time. For me, it would probably be like a little romantic dream come true to start a ministry like that..... Erm...I shall leave that little dream to God.
So here, i shall conclude my thoughts, dot!
