Contended

While some people complain about the lack of privacy when there's lock/door to their bedroom (I wonder who!), there are 18 girls squeezing into a three bedroom single story house at the back of Taman Ehsan.

On the 19th of March, Campus Action Ministry launched our Love It project and we set to reach out to those who are lost, unfortunate and rejected. We split ourselves into different groups, and will be heading to different homes on the 16th of April to just bring a little extra happiness and joy to these people. Really fortunate to be able to co lead with Jo Yee and we will bringing 18 girls out for ice cream party and hopefully we can give them what we can, our time and also share what we are blessed with.

After talking to the people in charge and visiting their homes today to finalize some details, we had a chance to look around the home and even though the condition is not superbly bad, but when I compare myself with these people I feel so blessed and at a point I feel ashamed as well. These people worry whether they will have enough food (wahtai biscuits, milo and maggi mee) and I on the other hand worry about the clothes and make up I wear the next day and also not forget grumble about the little chores I need to do eg: drying clothes and sweeping the floor.

Life's unfair eh?From now on, I will not compare myself to those who are better and more fortunate than me but I will start to compare myself to these people and learn to be more and more thankful each day.

Thank you Lord! <3
