Recap 2015 part 2

two days ago I attended a lunch meeting with some Christian friends.
as per usual SOP, once I tell them that I am a property agent, the next question will be,
'how was the property market this year?'

they were shocked when I told them plainly that I thought it was good.
personally, I consider it a fruitful year.
of course I have not reached 'top producer' level yet.
the elite group of agents who make hundreds of thousands a year.
but based on my personal history, I actually hit a new record in 2015.

so I learn that indeed he is God who provides.
on the year that I need extra resources to provide for the family need,
he sent me extra provision, just like that.
i did not do anything differently this year. yet He made all the differences.

a man has got to do what a man has got to do.
so being at peace with that.. I learn to embrace the challenge and battle that come my way.
i thank God for He sees that I am worthy of being entrusted with this fight.
and in closing some doors, He forced me to take a different path towards a greater view.

the world is vast.. and filled with enormous possibilities.
what we presumed to be the best possible script to happen in our lives,
may often be merely subplot to a grander scheme in His eyes.
and subplots are not meant to be the climax of any story.

I started 2015 with doubts.
doubt over my worth and determination.
I end 2015 with a restored confidence and steel.

In fact, a confidence greater than anything I ever had before.
A conviction greater than a 20 something David ever had.

as I type this post I finally realise what the year of restoration is all about for me
I kept asking myself..
what is the ultimate thing that God has restored for me in 2015?
Guess He just whispered the answer. :)

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...

journal: a little update

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me....
