A packet of tissue

I remember when I was younger, the guys who brought a packet of tissue with them always had a little extra points. Especially when I hadn't had the habit of bringing my own packet of tissue. And also especially when I'm quite needy at times, with tears and the tiny ocd streak in me.
I've grown up, and yes age teaches you to bring important necessities around, and most of the time I would have a packet of tissue somewhere in my bag. (Though I swear by wet tissues, other than days I have a runny nose (those aren't any help))
Anyway, why the talk on tissue. I was at the lrt platform and there were two adorable kids (probably a 4 year old and a 2.5 year old) enjoying their packet of pocky sticks. I overheard the help telling them, "aiyo, your hands so dirty and I never bring tissue", so you know what I did next, I whipped my packet of tissue out of my bag and offered them both a piece each. And that smile that came from them, the kids and the help alike, just lifted my spirits (:
And those precious smiles came from a simple simple gesture of kindness (which really had cost me nothing), and in return I received something so priceless.
You know, I believe God sends Angels every once in awhile, and today I think I met mine. Their smiles made me realize that anyone with a genuine heart can touch hearts, and it encouraged me that in the same way when I meet with the people in China, all I need is a genuine heart. And with that genuine spirit, hearts can be touched, and the best of all? I know in return, what I receive will be priceless. (:
Where did you go?

Wise words

Wise words from today's meetup with Mrs Lee,
"Never volunteer to do something a man can do" and "Its not always about the urgent-important things, there are not urgent but very important things that needs our extra effort too"
I'm never the best at articulating my thoughts, so sometimes meeting up with articulate friends like her can be very enlightening and satisfying, cause they spill the words right out from my mind (: ahh..
Jitters

One week count down to my trip to China. It's by far the longest time I'll be away and apart from my family on my own, and thinking of that does give me the jitters.
It's also made me realised how important they are to me. And again, i fear even the thought of losing any one of them.
Ahh, bad jitters making me think of all sorts of worrying thoughts and scenarios. Anne you can do this, and you'll be fine, your family will be fine, everything's gonna be alright. #selfhypnotizinginprogress
I need help.

I admit that a worry wart like me always sees the future as "impending doom" Especially when the to-do list piles up, when things are uncertain, or when they seem out of control and when I feel completely inept for my tasks on hand. It's a vicious cycle a worry wart is constantly stuck in.
My biggest concern being my trip to China. I feel horrible for feeling this way, but many times along the way I've asked myself why I would put myself through such a test, why I hadn't opted for a short trip, why. It's so embarassing when people ask me "are you prepared for your trip?" And the answer "no, no, NO" screams from my head. It's so scary to feel that way too. If I could back out of this, I probably would, though I know I probably would regret if I did.
Asking the Lord for strength and favour even as I make preparations for the trip. For protection and guidance, for grace and goodness, that no matter what state I'm in now, I will go in faith and trust in what He has in stored for me. Daddy God, I need help, please help me God.
