LTTF, blast-off

came back fr LTTF... dvery 1st day we spent praying, worshipping, n 4 me... getting a sense of history. hah.. never thot of it till so many of them shared that this is history-in-the-making, making such big changes 2 the org etc... one of them joked that 10 years down the road, if the org fails, we can point 2 this very retreat!
wat a watershed event. this is really a turn in the fork-road.

was a gr8 time of planning. started off wif praying n worship. i'm thankful for the godly leaders we have. was a great time of sparring.. thank God for the great discussions and the safe environment for honest opinions and brutal questions and comments, the unity: agreeing to disagree and not kill each over for it! it's amazing - the friendliness(no ammo, no gunpowder, no fire) and openness, the willingness to hear and understand. a recognition dat we r in this tog, dat every1 is doing his level best. hah... n of course eating tog... nice... hee.

thank God for a right spirit within me. it's worth wat i gave up for.
well, as usual, more work after a planning retreat!

wat i've learnt:
1. good leaders give good answers.

Great leaders ask good questions.
2. i need to sharpen my thinking... n... learn 2 phrase things better.

best news of the year: med min is core min; priority! they will beef up the min. i wouldve cheered or give my usual happy dumb look... but all i could manage was wide-eyed, stunned silence! too stunned and thankful to even cry! it's been so long!!! yay! hopefully asap. hah... now i love beef! hee.
