I enjoy blogging but I haven’t blogged for quite a while. 😛 I’ve tried to keep things going by posting videos. But it doesn’t mean I haven’t been writing.
In fact, I’ve completed my 4th paper for my Master’s in theology module work. So I can give myself a pat on the back. Take a deep breath and starting writing another few more papers.
That’s life. Part of it.
Then there’s the getting into the new role of being the Dean of the Kuala Lumpur District for the Lutheran Church in Malaysia and Singapore. First thing I should do tomorrow is to settle some dates for meetings. Kyrie Eleison.
I’m still the pastor of Bangsar Lutheran Church by the way!
And we’ve been going through major changes as well. Nice to see the children’s ministry start Godly Play again. We started Sunday Bible studies last week too and also Pastor Naomi has jump started the Chinese worship gathering. So that’s some new stuff coming up.
I don’t mind newness. It’s always refreshing.
But then change also takes it’s demand on you – overall especially physically and emotionally. So, I fell sick on Monday after half a day of Mission Consultation with our Mission partners. My contribution? I think the theme “Friends in God’s Mission” stuck after I shared the morning opening devotion. That felt good.
Father of three kids and husband of one. That’s how I like to introduce myself. It’s cute but seriously it’s more to remind me of my primary responsibility apart from being a child of God. It’s not easy on the family when they have a crazy Dad and short attention span husband like me.
Hey . getting back to writing like a human being is nice. No footnotes mom!
Well, there’s a lot which I haven’t had a chance to blog about yet. Loads of pictures. tons of experiences. And bits and pieces of second thoughts here and there.
I guess, what drew me back was the fact that someone who literally “served” me and this blog will be delegating this responsibility. We’ve been together since day 1 of this garden. So, it’s a strange feeling to know of this particular change.
But then change is part and parcel of life. Some good, some not so good. But it’s going to be there.
I’m going get some Ribena and relax! 🙂
Hi Sivin,
you’re the dean! – sounds like a big job. sorry for not keeping in touch – but glad to get a peep into what’s happening over your side when you do write like a human being 😛
It’s good to hear of your progress in your M.Th studies!
It is something you need to get done as life will get even busier the more you delay 🙂
God bless
