Reunion

It is good to reunite with ps nelson after 5 years since his last trip here in 2007. He has been so hospitable and took great care of us whenever we go over there. Now it is our turn to bless the faithful servant of God. A whole series of feasting sessions awaiting him, making sure his stomach is well taken care of. From hawker centre to restaurant to coffee shop, including the meals at the conference, i am not sure if he has gained much weight. hahahha! but well, since came all the way here, it's alright to gain slightly but not too much.

I truly thank God for ps nelson and his family, whom we have built years of friendship and bond since 1990s. I have many good friends in Iloilo, but this family has showed me the fruits of labour and faithfulness in serving the KIng of kings and Lord of lords. It doesn't matter how sufficient you are and how talented you are, it's the heart of devotion and assured hope that God is the only one you will follow all the days of your life. This is the spirit of the Nelson family. I will continue to pray for your family that He will reward you, who earnestly seek Him.

Praying for Japan

Japan had gone through many earthquakes, but the one on 11/3 hit them hard. It was a black fri, where tsunami came sweeping aways houses, cars, ships and worst of all PEOPLE! Many went missing till today, bodies uncovered everyday, hopes dashed as heartbroken people waited for the news of the survival of their missing loved ones. Somehow, devastation, hopelessness and fear gripped many. Yet the Japanese faces and handles this disaster orderly and calmly. Part of their lifeskills is to know how to react and respond towards natural calamities. Something that is lacking in us.

I have been praying for this nation since the calamity strikes.
I am thrilled when i heard the miracle of survival of the grandma and grandson, after the 9th day (which is almost impossible for any survival under the rubbles and cold weather). Praise God for the miracle!
Let's continue to pray believing that God's sovereign purpose of salvation in this nation shall increase and reign. Let more hearts be channeled to seek for truth, as truth shall set them free.
It can be done! It shall be done!
Let's believe!

My Young Adults

We met up!

Thank God that all of them made an effort to come.

Guess probably they gave me the respect and i appreciate that.

Brought them Jap dinner.

Joked and laughed around at the table.

Sang praises to God.

Played ice breaker before sharing my heart message.

Thank God for all of you.

SImply love you all.

TGIT

Thank God it's thursday!

That means weekend is smelling nearer.

That means i can slow down and relax.

That means i can see my young people tomorrow.

Nowadays i lost track of time.

Before i realise, i see friday getting ready to greet me.

That's why TGIT.

How have you been throughout this week?

Has it been fruitful?

For me, very!!

Wonderful moments with the Lord at the wee hours.

Spent time with 3 young people.

Dinner with my mum, just 2 of us.

TGIT! And thank God for a beautiful week.

Sometimes Manytimes

Sometimes you feel lousy. not because something has happened.

Sometimes you search for answer, but it never came.

Sometimes you want to move on, but like so hard.

Thank God.

Many times when you feel lousy, God just stands by you.

Many times when you search for answer, God decides to speak or keep silent for your good.

Many times when you want to move on, God says "Nothing is too hard for me!"

Thank God.

Just Me and Claudia

Walkathon at Marina Bay Waterfront!

Good weather, beautiful sea view and significant landmarks around the bay not forgetting the yellows that brighten up the whole place.

Started the walk around 820am.

Carried the little angel claudia in my arms.

Both of us took that brisk walk leaving the other lows behind.

Just me and her, so nice.

From the big curious eyes till the sleeping soundly posture in my arms, i enjoy the time spent with her in this way. She even smiled in her dream.

She opened her big curious eyes again, when we reached the destination at 920am. She simply knew the right timing.

So cute :D

Unbelief Doubt Faith

Unbelief says "No way it can happen!"

Doubt says "I don't think it can happen!"

Faith says "I know it will happen!"

When Jesus asked Peter to come to him on the boat, Peter can choose to disbelieve, doubt or have faith to walk on water.

Unbelief will keep both feet in the boat.

Doubt will put one foot in the boat and the other out of it.

faith will let both feet out of the boat.

We can experience unbelief, doubt and faith in our spiritual journey.

For unbelief and doubt, they are the subtle and destructive weapons used by the devil.

For faith, it is one of the weapons that we can use to overcome unbelief and doubt. So if you are wise, you will know what to choose to have and what to overcome.

Dead Tired

I was really dead tired yesterday.

From as early as 830am of the english service 1 service pastor till the 2pm of the combined service interpreting were enough to wear me out.

To add on to my fatigue, i continued to interpret for the 1st half of the leaders meeting, which was surely challenging and brain draining.

I was at my ultimate tiredness, yet i have to drag myself to attend a wedding banquet. Thank God for helpers that saved me from running around coordinating it. If not, i would have waved a white flag even before it started. But i was like a dead corpse during the dinner, so kept eating and playing with claudia to keep myself alert.

Seriously, i wanna thank God for the strength, which somehow kept me going all the way till i reached home safely. The moment i landed home, i took a quick shower, checked emails and chatted awhile before heading for my comfortable bed.

Guess i was really drained that i slept through till 12pm the following day!

Thank God for mondays :D

Cheer On

A week of busyness..

5 days of work and ministry..

Yet God gave me friends and godchildren to cheer me on..

I Trust

When weena has to undergo operation due to the lump in the womb, it came as a sudden news to many. It makes me think about..

Really life is so unpredictable, but i shall trust.

Going to be a tough journey ahead, doing different tests wondering how i am going to handle this. But I shall trust.

Learnt something today:

Real friends are one who accept you as who you are,

correct you when you are wrong and

encourage you when you need it.

It makes me think who are my real friends now?
