august

August has been a VERY eventful month. after coming back from my Bangkok trip, I had to deal with a stressful day of dealing with a Saturday jam packed with events – run, CG, bike fit (which did not work out), ndp. We have decided to change CGs – which required meetups with various people and a certain element of ‘drama’ with people we had to deal with. I have a presentation to prepare for, a greek exam I just took, we have made progress in our wedding (booked a few vendors), booked our honeymoon (which the hotel has gotten back to me about, yay!!), celebrated national day (one of the best in years), had a 4 day long weekend, went for overnight prayer which increased my burden for the nation – though im not sure what to do with that. I struggle with this daily. 

I have been replying emails incessantly about our vertical marathon - which is happening in 1.5 weeks! I am meeting my caterer this Saturday, collecting my cakelets. Deciding about my macaroon tower, I have done my tooth last week, and am taking another planned MC on Tuesday. I am choosing my gown on Wednesday and presenting on Thursday so I have rescheduled all my meetups to September. Because 31 Aug is also when our PT day event is going to be. 

We would need to apply for a new HLE and apply for our BTO in September – which I am looking forward to.

Also, with the Bangkok blasts – it is sometimes scary to think that it could have been me. But somehow, I don’t think about it that much. In the – that could have been me way. Am I heartless? Or is it because I try not to put myself in situations that aren’t true? God will put us through various circumstances in life, and we all have our own ups and downs to deal with. My heart goes out to those who have been affected by the blasts though, our world can be a very cruel one.

I’ve also been thinking, whether life in heaven will as tiring as it is. some days I look forward to the day I pass on from this world, because sometimes, it is tiring. I am contented and blessed but isn’t nothing better at times?? I wonder if I will still feel this way in heaven. I hope not. I was reminded then of the joy, the glory, the love that we will get to enjoy in full capacity when we get to heaven. Is it not tiring to live forever?

All in all this was a very rambly post, but i just wanted to remind myself of this august season so I will not forget when September comes.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
