I just want to thank God for being so good in my family's life. His awesomeness never fails. It is truly great to look back and count God's blessing one by one to encourage me to move on in times my faith is undergoing testing. In my two and a half stay in Singapore, I have learned to rely on God for strength. I acknowledge Him as the one who has given me the ability to work.

Let me share this illustration from yesterday's lesson from our CG. Here goes:
A baby camel asked his mother, Mom, why do I have these huge three-toed feet? His mother replied, Well, son, your toes help you stay on top of the soft sand when we trek across the desert. A few minutes later the baby camel asked, Mom, why do I have these long eyelashes? His mother replied, Well, son, your eyelashes help keep the sand out of your eyes on our trips through the desert. A few minutes later the baby camel asked, Mom, why do I have these great big humps on my back? His mother, who was getting a little impatient with her son, replied, Well, son, your humps store water for our long treks across the desert, so you can go without drinking for long periods of time. That’s great, Mom, the baby camel said. We have huge feet to stop us from sinking, long eyelashes to keep sand out of our eyes, and humps to store water. But...Mom? Yes, son? Why are we in the zoo?
Too many of us are like camels in a zoo. We have everything we need to live the way God intended, yet we play it safe and fail to put ourselves in a position to use our God-given gifts and talents in keeping with His purposes.
