Woke up to the gentle ringing tune of my new handphone. Again the same old situation, rain before in the wee hours -> warm snuggily bed and cool sleeper's climate versus call to wake up to go work -> battle of the wills within -> compromise of sleeping in another 30 minutes more. ;p
As usual the insidious little voice inside me was saying "Take leave la, dun go work la..." Thank God I managed to slap that one aside.

Came to office a bit later than originally intended. But still have time to check my work e-mail before staff devotions. Had a good laugh over my colleague/friend's stories of his hotel stay - he's on work trip in our Taiwanese office right now. Am glad he's enjoying himself so much.
Then read a distressing news about a fellow co-worker's family tragedy in Sri Lanka. His daughter was called home to be with the Lord after a fatal motorcycle accident within the space of a few hours yesterday. Even though I met with this co-worker only once, I still remembered with fondness his big heart, joyfulness and the love which he describes his children.

We had a solemn time this start of the week during the devotions. My friend led in a time of worship, and even though our hearts were heavy-laden with sadness, we worshipped the Lord with our songs and prayers. We asked for the Lord to come and watch over this family with Himself, and let his peace and love reigns in this.

I guess right now the question that's running in my head now, "Lord, how can, Lord?". But i must keep remembering that the Lord gives and takes away; even when I don't fully understand the fullness of His plans, His will is still sovereign in our lives.
