Vietnam Chinese New Year

The family is going to Vietnam!

For Chinese New Year, for reasons-I-deduced-which-involves-avoiding-questions-about-certain-missing-family-members.

I didn't really want to go, as my New Year has evolved into a movie date night with my precious TKK gang on day 1, lots of sleeping on day 2, and this year day 3 is a Sunday!

But, you know, family. They trump so many other things. 

So, I'm going. With a changed heart by then I hope. I need to throw away my grudged attitude and enjoy some Vietnam coffee.

Will I be able to do so in the next 2 weeks? I can't say PHO sure!

But I'll try.

2014

The year has barely started and I'm now in bed at 2.30pm, with a nasty cough and a really tired mind.

My December really caught up with me. 

Looking at the workload of 2014, I am shuddering with fear and doubt. It's so much more than what we handled in the past. Wanfong asked if I had prayed for this year's plans, I said uh, not yet. I really want 2014 to be a restful year, after 2013 proved to be a mad journey, but a good one. I guess God often presents Himself at our breaking points.

2013 proved that God is more than real. 

Well, as always, let's go back to the Word for encouragement. "Fear not, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name and you are mine!"
