This week alone:
- My friend's mum was admitted to hospital in Spore due to fluctuating blood pressure.
- My girlfriend's dad was admitted to a Sydney hospital due to a detached retina.
- Another girlfriend's friend died suddenly in her sleep. She was only twenty and a newlywed.
- On that same day, her sister's friend's dad passed away.
In a way, my situation is nowhere comparable to what some of my friends have been through this week. How the devil enjoys inflicting pain and seeing people in agony! It's funny how so many tragic events happen at the same time our church recently launched a new revolution series, revamped the whole creative arts team, restructured the leadership team, and almost finished renovating the front of the building. Exciting visions and plans for the kingdom of God annoy the prince of darkness to a level he is so uncomfortable that he wants to find ways to discourage us from pressing on and finishing the race. He ain't gonna get what he wants, because we are much stronger and more persistent than we've ever been before. So step aside, S.A. Tan because we are going to claim this world for Jesus!

I say "AMEN!" to the last sentence! I also have a friend's friend here whose mom passed away of cancer, and also a friend having a relapse of cancer...sigh... But we have to stay strong and remain faithful to God. Let's continue praying for our dear friends who are going through a tough time.
