God's got such a sweet sense of humour.

Today I had to stay back in office later than usual to participate in a conference call which started at 6pm. It ended close to 7pm, and I thought of staying back a little longer to finish up on some work (you know how it is when you get started on something and you don't want to break your rhythm when you're halfway doing it).

Then, mysteriously, JUST after the conference call when I opened up the Excel sheet to continue my work - my laptop started to hang. It was so bad that the whole 'end-process-via-Task-Manager' didn't even work, and I had to manually shut down the laptop.

Took it as my cue to STOP and GO HOME (He's clear that way) :)

But really, it's just been another day of divine sustainence. Amazing when I reflect back on how I sensed His hand upon me and in all that I was doing, giving me the insight and ideas that I need (that couldn't have come from blur ol' me), the strength and the focus to get through the day. Sometimes it's so easy to take these little things for granted. But life itself - to live and breathe - what a privilege and blessing!

My Tax Head just came back from Beijing where she had a conference, and she was telling me she had gone to a church there with a friend. Only foreigners were allowed to go to the church, and 50% were European while the rest were foreign Chinese. Does gel with the many other stories I've heard of the persecution against Christians that still takes place in China today.

To think that so often we take for granted the religious freedom we have here in Singapore.

It's such stories that remind me that life is all about perspective, problems, what we define them to be.

To be able to live this life and breathe this breath, for one more night and one more day. What a blessing!
