Laughter and Tears in Celebrating 25 Years
It's been requested that I write an update, especially since my last one may have sounded a little depressing (hopefully you read till the end where it pick up again as the focus shifted off myself and onto our awesome saviour!).
Well, at this moment, I'm with my parents in a comfortable hotel room waiting to leave for the airport. The next 3 days will be spent in Penang as my dad is speaking at an Easter conference sort of thing. More about that as we get there.
I just wanted to use this space to thank the many people who came to my parent's surprise Silver Wedding Anniversary party on Tuesday (30th March). It was such a precious time and though I told myself I would not cry, I couldn't help myself once my parents started. To be able to be with such great friends and family who have stood with them, with us, in support and prayer all these years was just a bit overwhelming and we certainly do give God all the praise and glory.
In the end, I realise a lot of people could not make it. I think there were about 85 people present. However, I also wanted to thank those who wrote messages for the scrap book. My dad sat down to read all the messages in it yesterday and I think it was especially touching to read those notes with personal stories and testimonies of God's faithfulness. My mum will read them when we get back from Malaysia. The photos are now up on facebook and I'll try to put a few up on the blog reasonably soon but you'll have to bear with me. I'll also try to put the video up for those who didn't get to see it at the party.
Indeed, it has been a difficult year, as I've repeated SO many times, but these times where we are able to gather together in remembrance of God's grace, mercy and faithfulness was just wonderful. Again, thank you for joining with us through laughter and tears.
