Bus - Jehovah Jireh

going to office @ Joo Chiat has been quite a pain these past months, something i would need to face for the next 2 years, till our present office lease expires... sigh



after these past months, i figure the best option now is to take bus tfr bus, alternative is to get my driver's liscence and drive.



option 1 - bus 31 tfr bus 33 @ Duman Rd, walk for 2 min

option 2 - bus 31 tfr bus 16 @ Duman Rd, walk for another 5 min

both options take about 1 hr



last Tue morning, when i was in bus 31, i saw bus 33 just in front,



great! once 31 over takes 33, i can switch bus, no need to wait so long and walk the least



33 bypass bus stop in front, however 31 stop for alighting passengers



traffic light ahead, 33 stopped, waiting to turn left into Old Airport Rd, there is hope, : )



it didnt take long for 33 to turn off into Old Airport Rd, 31 is still stuck behind waiting to turn into OldAirport Rd



with one hope lost, new hope appear

just then saw 16 at the traffic light on the right, red light, good, dont move till 31 turn into Old Airport Rd please....

alas light chage to green, all i could do was watch 16 zoom pass me into Old Airport Rd, with 31 still stuck @ traffic light


all is not lost yet, another few more stops to go, there is still hope.

unfortunately, when 31 finally turn into Old Airport Rd, neither 33 nor 16 is in sight

hope against hope, finally, i need to alight @ Duman Rd to wait for my next 33 or 16.

reluntantly, i alight preparing myself for a long wait ahead.

it didnt take long for the next bus to arrive @ the bus stop.

when i look up, i was surprise

another 33, quite empty, behind me all the time.

why surprise? the frequency for 33 is between 10 - 20 mins, having another 33 just behind really rare!

well you may say, just bus only, what is the big deal

this is an object lesson for me on God's providence.

when He provides, it may be in a way beyond your norm expectation.

dont go chasing after things that are not yours, it will come at the right time, in His time

thank God i didnt have to wait too long, waiting is tough, though usually necessary.

Oct 2006 to Sep 2007

its been exactly a year since my last entry.

the year has been a rollercoaster

Nov 2006 went for a retreat in ChiangMai. had a wonderful time with God

months of struggling came to a conclusion

the Lord spoke so clearly that i must obey

execution was not easy, but Lord has prepared me long for this,

as far back as 2005 LiJiang, when i climb my first mountain and the Lord taught me my first lesson on Trust

its all in His plan, i cleared my debts just before Nov retreat and was able to save for the days ahead

timing was great, my God given wonderful team of staff has stablised, my job is done, time to move on

typing the letter was tougher than i taught, i procasinated, but push on i must

all's done, just waiting for D day,

decided to do it before i climb KK, instead of after as planned

done, its all in His hands now

mixed emotions, sad to leave my staff / look forward to birth of Inservio

14 Jun came, leaving was a lot tougher than i imagined

Inservio came into being, God is good

i becames nothing, being nothing was tough,

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,

Sep 2007, Mulu Cave. i entered my chrysalis, waiting in the dark

still waiting...
