Hectic week - short break

It was a hectic week last week, with the NZ partner here, lots of meetings, the leadership conference on Friday and Saturday, and then trying to finish both my GST and personal taxes for submission before 30th April. As usual, me and my last minute.
Glad to say I finally got them done. Doesn't help that my accounting software is messed up, giving me the Cost of Sales 10 times more than the actual!! So imagine my initial shock when I saw the report as having made a loss of $300k last year!!
If it were true, I'd probably have Ah Longs knocking down and my door and I might be forced to eat the pig's heads they hang and trying to scoop up the broken eggs in the mailbox!! Hehe.
Last year was kinda slow year, so income has dropped. Hopefully, will do better this year.
Had a good 2 sessions with John Ng and Mark Chan from the Eagles at the leadership conference. One of the most important things I learned was that any marriage is destined to fail from the start. Huh?
Considering the very different backgrounds, temperaments, families, experiences, attitudes, values that 2 people have, putting 2 people together in a marriage is a disaster in the making.
It takes a lot of conscious effort, time and dedication to overcome it's natural tendency to fail.
A relationship is like riding a bike on a hill slope. You cannot stop and hope that it will stay still and then pick it up where you left off later. You either work hard and move it uphill, or it will slide backwards.
Took Monday and Tuesday off(extra holiday declared by me!!) back to work today.
Still wondering about what God wants me to do next.
Pray pray pray.
