Moving forward

Don't know what to write .. It's been a while since I wrote about my life ..

Hmm, talking about life, Life seemed so busy this week .. there are many things that I have to do since many events are coming up .. There is youth KKR on 24 July 2004 with topic "The challenge of Christianity in this post modernism era" by Rev Hendra G. Mulya. Church Retreat is also coming up. At work, one senior of mine is taking annual leave at the moment, which means all responsibilities are on my shoulder .. fiuhhh ... so hard, but challenging at the same time .. so far so good, hopefully it stays like that ..

I recently talked to Hans regarding why is it so hard for me to communicate with my work mate who are Caucasian and yet it's not so hard for me to communicate with my asian colleagues and friends .. One of the conclusion is that the culture differences creates a barrier between us .. When they gather, they talk about something which I am not really familiar with, like cartoon that they watched when they were kids, aussie jokes, aussie books, different type of music, different general knowledge, different way of life .. so many different things ... I guess it's true that we have to apply the principal "seek to understand first, before you want to be understood" ... Must try harder and communicate more ... heheheh ...

About my ministry at church, it's really hard being one of the member of youth committee, since you have to organize this and that along with your everyday work plus other commitments .. Oh well, I can't complain, since God has been good in my life ... Want to give the best I can .. Many times I feel like giving God only 50% of my total effort, sometimes less ... not good .. I must change myself and ask God to help me with that ...

Moving forward, I think I want to start thinking seriously about what I want to do later on in the future .. I've started to make up my mind on a few things but there are many other things that I still need to think about, decide and surrender everything in His hands ... I am sure there are many obstacles ahead and I really need to be prepared for that ... Sometimes I thank God that I can live in Australia, have a good fellowship and learnt so many things from so many different people ... It's part of my life that I will always cherish later on in life ..

Until then ..............
