My Lenten Offering

Lately, things have been quite interesting(so it seems..hehe). And being that its the Lenten season, things have been extra interesting. Lent means alot to me, not because im a sunday school teacher and as one I have to portray a good example for the kids, but this time of the year is somewhat special.

Firstly, being that not everyone knows what is Lent makes it even precious to those who observe it. To us, Lent is a holy week to remember Christ's sufferings, His trials before His passion and much more. Every year, God gives us this opportunity to experience Christ's 40 days of temptation. And though we only carry the silver of His cross, its the least we can do.

So, this year being that it was Lent, I decided to spend this time wisely. I think God was being pretty humorous too, considering the challenges I had to face through lately. The times when I had to play dumb and act sane while "the world" would have another outburst on me, the trying times when I had to forgive and forget and then do it all over again. Thinking it over, a smile forms on my face, God is pretty humorous..(thx???)

Other than that, Im glad I got the chance to join the youths on their outreach events. It was a real eye-opener into a world much different to my own. I visited an orphanage@single mothers@old folk home in Jinjang with the youths in my area. The home run by a 25 year old man, consists of 30 orphans, 2 single moms together with their infants and a senior citizen. What amazed me was the condition in which they lived in. I still wonder how all of them could fit in that house. It really made me realise how fortunate I am. Being that I am really drawn to kids, so it was hard for me to say goodbye to them.

I also got the chance to visit a shelter for abused girls in Ampang. I guess I really enjoyed my time with them. They were such bubbly, sweet, beautiful girls. It was so great that we all got along so well. And not to mention the fun we had with fabric paint..hehe. I somehow feel like I didnt do much at all, visiting all this places but rather they gave me something to take back with me. They gave me their joy even through the pain, poverty and trials that they may face. And I think a joy like that gives strengh to persevere through the toughest times. Neways....

HAPPY EASTER!!!mwahhss
