Unexpected Surprises

U

I have nine more days before flying to Singapore. I intentionally set next week as ‘lock down’ which I don’t see anyone. Stay home.  Spend time with the family.  Take care of left over things. I am glad I done that.  As I was afraid there would be a few unexpected surprises along the way.  I like to give myself some buffer time for myself. I am glad. So a few...

Lady on the phone:  Can you tell me your phone number? Me: 4-1-6-5-6… … It is amazing how the ten digit of my phone number becomes who I am.  For the past few weeks as I am winding down to go to Singapore, I had to contact the National Student Loan to pay off my loan.  Every time I called them, they need my phone number to verify that I am Cliff Tam.

The class was an open discussion in which I gave my...

Every time I see someone.  Every time I drive past my neighbourhood.  I slow down to absorb the moment.  I will be going soon. Overseas Missionary Fellowship will be sending me to Sinagpore in November 4th. It is coming and it...

I can still remember the shock and impossible feeling when the OMF missionary told me about this role and it was a non pay role.  Aka.  I have to raise my own support OR God has to open up the supplies for me to go.  That was in February...
