Gifts

"Single life may be only a stage of a life's journey, but even a stage is a gift. God may replace it with another gift, but the receiver accepts His gifts with thanksgiving. This gift for this day. The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived- not always looked forward to as though the "real" living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow."- Elisabeth Elliot

I am living for today, each day at a time, each moment at a time, I don't want to be caught up in the lie that "real" living happen when you get that big dream job, or dream family, or dream life... I am living for today. What can I do for God today?

What I can do for God is to be the best of who He has made me to be.
Right now at this present I am:
I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a cousin. I am beautiful. I am made for a purpose. I am God's. I am a restaurant entrepreneur! These are truly my gifts.

God thank you for these gifts and blessings for today:
1) the marvelous skies in Brunei- the changing clouds just always capture my attention
2) my cousin Yan Shiang for being such a support and encourager
3) Your justice and judgement
4) the story of Jonah and how his anger showed your great mercy
5) having Kaizen sushi in Brunei to satisfy my vancouver sushi cravings
6) Christian books
7) connections my dad has to help me with my bistro
8) my parents for being my greatest encourager with this bistro
9) waking up each day being able to come to you with anything and everything
10) humility and perspective of the prodigal son
