My heart was saddened five months back when we know that renewing the lease at Capitol Building will be near impossible. There were many bids to convert this prime area to a hotel and entertainment district. This round, I was clear we need to move on especially so after spending time at Seven fountain chiang mai in may this year. The Lord had settled my heart and prepare me to move forward. I was sad but hopeful...
The Lord reminded me about transience in life. Nothing is truly owned by us. We bring nothing in and we bring nothing out. All seems to be ours and yet not so. I learnt to let go of my 'claims' to this home of mine for the last almost 4 years. I can only thank God for His faithful providence for us all. I am grateful.
I will miss the proximity to the Cathedral, Raffles City and my Teh Halia. I will miss my co tenants who are moving out and the many other tenants and uncles and aunties (securities, cleaners, car park attendants) whom have been a part of life when I come to work...
As I blog this, I felt a sense of relief and excitement! I can still come back to the Cathedral, Raffles City and look for my teh at Peninsula Plaza. For the tenants, many of whom I will be keeping in touch and will surely meet again. What would be loss would be just an office space which has housed Olive Tree for a season. A beautiful building which will be retained to a greater glory for more to experience and enjoy! What a privilege to have worked in and enjoyed a part of history of Singapore. What more can I ask if you have known how God had miraculously led us here!
He knows. He's God.
