To Oregon USA I shall go...

_
It's been another hectic week. Just had a 2.30 am teleconference (yes...2.30 am!) till about 4 am, and tomorrow at 5.30 am I shall be on my way to catch a plane to Portland via Seattle and Tokyo.

This will be the first time that I will be spending Chinese New Year alone...in a foreign land, without family around me. Wonder how it would feel when the time comes. Will definitely miss the wife and kids, and family & friends too.

Good thing will be that He is with me anywhere I go around globe. Somehow that is a comforting thought. Definitely gives me a sense of peace and reassurance.

Will be hard work next week working with the team to formulate the multi-billion business forecast for the VPs of the company. Work has started a month back (hence the hectic schedules) and will cumulate in presentations over the next 2 weeks.

Yet somehow there has been peace in me throughout the whole week. It does make a big difference when you decide to put your trust in God for all things:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Php 4:6-7).

Familiar verse, I know. But nothing like the reality of it happening in your life when you need it!

So of to Oregon USA I shall go, for the next 2 weeks. In a strange way, I am also looking forward to the possibility of having time to spend extended devotional time without other distractions while over there.

So if you do read this post, do remember to keep me and the family in prayer. I hope to be able to have time to post while I am there. Will be back on 24th Feb. See you then! :-)
